Hello everybody, my name is Emanuele Chappontier, I am from the French Organization
|
||
|
|
April which is a non-profit. We are calling on you today because software patterns
|
||
|
|
are coming back. Software patterns are dangerous, dangerous to free software and to small companies
|
||
|
|
because they are blocking ideas and they will make sure that big companies will block
|
||
|
|
your small one from reaching the market. They will make sure that your ideas and we have
|
||
|
|
plenty of them in the software world that ideas are blocked from implementation. You
|
||
|
|
will not be able to introduce a one-click shopping, for example. Those software patterns
|
||
|
|
are coming back through the Unitary Pattern. It's a new rule which is being implemented
|
||
|
|
right now in Europe and which will give to the European Pattern Office much, much more
|
||
|
|
power. Despite its name, the European Pattern Office is not a European institution, it's
|
||
|
|
an international institution and it will be given more power by the European institutions
|
||
|
|
to rule over the pattern system. Right now, the European Pattern Office is already recording
|
||
|
|
software patterns. This, despite European rules, is explicitly forbidding it. We need you
|
||
|
|
to contact the Legal Affairs Committee which has a small group of 20 MEPs which are right
|
||
|
|
now studying the European Pattern System. April wants amendments which will ensure that
|
||
|
|
European institutions keep power, keep an eye on the European Pattern Office. Those amendments
|
||
|
|
are important. We need you to contact those 20 people. You will find more information,
|
||
|
|
analysis on tools on the Unitary Dash Pattern.edu website. Contact them now, email them, phone them
|
||
|
|
to make sure that software patterns are definitely forbidden and we will not come back.
