Monopolistic American Software Houses are using the WTO to force the UK
& Europe to recognise USPTO Software Patents that are invalid &
currently illegal in Europe.

The UK & Europe have never allowed Software Patents, however US
Companies hold large numbers patents on software devices that where
actually designed in Europe.

Consider the Public Key Encryption.  This was invented at GCHQ, yet the
Patent is held by RSA, a US Security Software House.  RSA has in the
past extorted large fees for use of this Software Device, despite the
fact it is invalid and illegal as a patent.

If UK & European Software Companies are forced to recognise these
patents, they would be compelled to pay millions possible even billions
per year in royalties for their own Software Designs.

This would provide a massive and unfair advantage to the US Software
Industry and wipe out the currently Independent UK & European Software
Industry.

If you oppose Software Patents & live or work Europe then sign this
electronic petition; 50,000 UK & European software developers have
already signed it.

Also complain & get your company to complain to your local
representative / MEP and MP.
