This 'engineer's solution' emphasised that protection should be available for a device, a situation which has led to software and business methods being protected throughout Europe when the form of application, rather than the substance, is acceptable. Since the Article 52 exclusion has effectively vanished, it is timely to reconsider what makes examination of software invention difficult and what leads to such energetic opposition to protecting inventive activity in the software field, Leith advocates a more programming-centre approach, which recognises that software examination requires different strategies from that of other technical fields."--Jacket. 000024039 650_0 $$aComputer software$$zEuropean Union countries$$xPatents. 000024039 650_0 $$aPatent laws and legislation$$zEuropean Union countries. 000024039 650_0 $$aPatents$$zEurope. 000024039 650_0 $$aCopyright$$zEurope. 000024039 650_0 $$aIntellectual property$$zEurope. 000024039 650_6 $$aBrevets d'invention$$xDroit$$zPays de l'Union européenne. 000024039 650_6 $$aLogiciels. 000024039 650_6 $$aLogiciels$$zPays de l'Union européenne$$xBrevets d'invention. 000024039 651_0 $$aEurope$$xCommerce$$xLaw and legislation. 000024039 7001_ $$aLeith, Philip,$$d1954- 000024039 830_0 $$aCambridge intellectual property and information law. 000024039 942__ $$cMON$$2ddc 000024039 952__ $$w2007-12-03$$p2007-0698$$r60.00$$u37605$$bMAIN$$10$$kG 272 LEI.S$$v2007-12-03$$ztagged$$71 000024039 980__ $$aBIB 000024039 999__ $$c26291$$d26291
