European Parliament
President.
Question No 46 by Michl Ebner 
Subject: Patentability of computer-implemented inventions in the European Union
Given the still unresolved issues surrounding the patentability of computer-implemented inventions (software patents), the question arises what the Commission will do next.
What future measures does the Commission propose to take in this area?
Is it true that, in spite of the European Parliament’s clear rejection on 6 July 2005, the Commission is still seeking a solution in line with the rejected common position?
