no software patents for EU
Now here’s some good news. The EU Parliament voted overwhelmingly (648-14) to reject the directive on software patents. Everybody seems to agree that this won’t be the last we hear about this unfortunately.

I saw http://www.laurathomson.com/2005/07/no-software-patents-for-eu/ and wanted to mention a useful site: http://www.FreePatentsOnline.com
It provides free patent searching, free PDF downloading, allows annoting documents and sharing them, and free alerts for new documents.
If you have a spot, a link to let your users know abou the site would be great.
