#title: Vocabulary #descr: Text chunks that appear in multiple web pages #consrupt: Council Process Broken #swpat: Logic Patents #gunka: What to do #cpacu: Reimbursment #receipt: Receipts #WipoT: Presense at WIPO sessions #WipoD: The World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO) organises sessions of national experts on patent law and other laws where new treaties are negotiated. These include a broadcasting rights treaty and the Substantive Patent Law Treaty (SPLT). WIPO representatives have left little doubt that they see themselves as a world legislator (rather than as a standardisation body) and as promoters of worldwide patentability of software and business methods and of extensive patent practises in general. SPLT aims at making such practises binding for the world. FFII will use the opportunity of some WIPO meetings to spread critical viewpoints. #Plen0309T: Base de données des amendements #Plen0309D: La proposition de directive sur les brevets logiciels est devenue sujette à des centaines de propositions d'amendements au Parlement, disponibles dans toutes les langues de l'UE, et de futures propositions sont en discussion au Conseil. De plus, il y a des contre-propositions de la part d'ONG. Nous en avons fourni des listings sous forme de tableaux, mais pour donner une vision de cette grande complexité et produire une bonne documentation nous avons besoin d'une base de données relationnelle bien conçue en combinaison avec le système de gestion des traductions MLHT. #FinancT: Accounting #FinancD: Keep track of in and outgoing transactions, record them in intelligible database form. #EuroparlD: Collect and provide information about how to best talk to members of the European Parliament. #MediaEchoT: Monitoring Media Echo #MediaEchoD: Collect Links to press reports about FFII activities, see to it that FFII activities are filmed and recorded and that the recordings are at our disposal, collect conference contributions #AktivT: Participation System #AktivD: creating opportunities for FFII supporters to make themselves heard, develop automated participation processes #LugkT: Contact With LUGs and Local Activist Groups #LugkD: Maintain contacts to Linux User Groups and other local activist groups, so as to be able to call for quick mobilisation in case of Net strikes etc. #SeT: Swedish Patent Affairs #SeD: Reporting about the patent situation in Sweden, communicating with concerned supporters in Sweden #DeT: German Patent Affairs #SiT: Slovenian Information Infrastructure #PlT: Polish Information Infrastructure #DeD: The german government's position on software patents has been determined by patent officials who are loyal to the patent movement but not to the government. Unlike most members of the European Parliament, these officials do not need to be reelected. Yet there are ways of putting them in the limelight and influencing them. Christian Cornelssen and others are doing this work and collecting instructions to help you do it. #UkT: UK Position #UkD: Shedding light on the UK government's decisionmaking on software patents #SiD: Shedding light on Slovenian decisionmaking on patents and information infrastructure issues #PlD: Shedding light on Polish decisionmaking on patents and information infrastructure issues #LuT: Luxemburg Position #LuD: Shedding light on the Luxemburg government's decisionmaking on software patents #FiT: Finnish Position #FiD: Shedding light on the finnish government's decisionmaking on software patents #BeT: Belgian Position #BeD: Shedding light on the belgian government's decisionmaking on software patents #FrT: French Patent Affairs #FrD: Shedding light on the French government's decisionmaking on software patents #CzT: Czech Patent Affairs #CzD: Shedding light on the Czech government's decisionmaking on software patents #FfiiukT: FFII UK #FfiiukD: Organise activities in UK #GenbaT: system administration #GenbaD: keep genba.ffii.org in good shape #RaljuT: system administrator #RaljuD: keeping ralju.ffii.org in good shape #MailmanT: mailman administration #MailmanD: keep the Mailman system in good shape #BitkomT: Bitkom Member Database #BitkomD: Wake up members of Bitkom and other associations which are allowing patent lawyers to determine their association's patent policy #ManifT: Mass Mobilisation #ManifD: Make sure we can organise street events and net strikes in a time of crisis.

Also, the secretariat's understanding of matters can have an influence on the voting procedure.

FFII UK documents the case, especially from the perspective of the UK, where similar legislation has been developped through caselaw during the last 20 years and yet misgivings about the new EU law are widely shared by citizens as well as big and small businesses. #rpe: Your Webshop is Patented! #Whd: We show you how the European Patent Office has during the last years granted monopoly rights on the basics processes of the World Wide Web against the letter and spirit of the written law. #Igl: FFII Campaigns & Rallies #iia: Banners, signup tools etc for organising web campains and real-life rallies #Soa: Spanish Senate Unanimously Against Software Patents #ook: Today the Spanish Senate has unanimously approved a motion which was initiated by Jordi Guillot, senator and president of the Commission of the Society of the Information and Conocimiento of the Senate, which asks the Government to remain firm in his refusal to the patents of software and it should work with other member states to obtain an majority against the 18 May text. #rne: Letter to MEPs on Pending Decisions #moW: This letter was distributed by FFII to all members of the European Parliament after Nokia, Ericsson and others had distributed theirs. It encourages MEPs to insist on their right to vote on a return to 1st reading and argues that the software patents directive is one of the cases where the exercise of this right makes sense. #cas: %(fi:FFII) is a non-profit association which promotes the development of open interfaces, open source software and freely available public information. FFII coordinates a %(sp:workgroup on software patents) which is %(sp:sponsored by successful german software publishers). FFII is member of the %(el:EuroLinux Alliance). #Wte: US Gov't Promoting Patent Extremism in the European Parliament #vWl: According to the European Commission (CEC)'s Directive Proposal COM(2002)92 for %(q:Patentability of Computer-Implemented Inventions) and the revised version approved by the European Parliament's Committee for Legal Affairs and the Internal Market (JURI), algorithms and business methods such as %(as:Amazon One Click Shopping) are without doubt patentable subject matter. This is because %(ol|Any %(q:computer-implemented) innovation is in principle considered to be a patentable %(q:invention).|The additional requirement of %(q:technical contribution in the inventive step) does not mean what most people think it means.|The directive proposal explicitly aims to codify the practise of the %(tp|European Patent Office|EPO). The EPO has already granted thousands of patents on algorithms and business methods similar to Amazon One Click Shopping.|CEC and JURI have built in further loopholes so that, even if some provisions are amended by the European Parliament, unlimited patentability remains assured.) #ltu: 情報請求項: 有用な特許明書の発表禁止 #pms: Patent Claims to %(q:computer program, characterised by that upon loading it into memory [ some process ] is executed), are called %(q:program claims), %(q:Beauregard claims), %(q:In-re-Lowry-Claims), %(q:program product claims), %(q:text claims) or %(q:information claims). Patents which contain these claims are sometimes called %(q:text patents) or %(q:information patents). Such patents no longer monopolise a physical object but a description of such an object. Whether this should be allowed is one of the controversial questions in the struggle about the proposed EU Software Patent Directive. We try to explain how this debate emerged and what is really at stake. #ansold: ANSOL is the %(tp|National Association for Free Software|Associação Nacional para o Software Livre). It is a portuguese non-profit association with the purpose of divulging, promoting, developping, investigating and studying Free Informatics and its social, political, philosophical, cultural, technical and scientific implications. #paprit: 情報処理や特許法関連文献の評論 #paprid: The debates about the limits of patentability were not always conducted on the Internet.
