"It is regrettable that the European Parliament did not approve our proposal to reject this proposal for a directive, which prepares the ground for the patentability of computer programs, despite the fact that very many of the proposals for amendments to this directive were adopted. The European Parliament has thus done innovation and technological development a disservice.
In today’s world, it seems that anything can be marketed. Anything can become private property and be used for somebody’s personal gain. There are those who would like marketing to embrace not only production but also knowledge and life itself. We live in a time when discoveries – a common heritage for all of us – are being confused with inventions. This directive prepares the ground for the patentability of human knowledge, which we oppose. Although a few positive proposals were also approved at the final vote, most of our own proposals were rejected, which gives us cause for regret. We will continue to fight this proposal for a directive and the large multinational interests it aims to please."@en1
