The consultation on patenting of computer-implemented
inventions closed on 15 December 2000. The responses were analysed
and a report is available on the website of the Directorate-General
for the Internal Market at the following location:
http://europa.eu.int/comm/internal_market/en/indprop/softpatanalyse.htm.
While no further submissions can be received in respect of that
exercise, an on-line forum on the subject has been set up and you
are welcome to post any comments you may have there. The forum can
be found at the following location:
