"In July 2005, after several failed attempts to legalise software<br>
patents in Europe, the patent establishment changed its strategy.<br>
Instead of explicitly seeking to sanction the patentability of<br>
software, they are now seeking to create a central European patent<br>
court, which would establish and enforce patentability rules in their<br>
favor, without any possibility of correction by competing courts or<br>
democratically elected legislators."<br>
