Österreich und Softwarepatente
Tag der Bananen-Union

Österreichs Parteien trugen im Europäischen Parlament im wesentlichen die Änderungsanträge vom September 2003 mit. Insbesondere die ÖVP, die FPÖ und die Grünen haben deutlich Stellung gegen die Patentierbarkeit von Software bezogen.
Of the austrian MEPs, Maria Berger from PSE (SPÖ) initially took a hardline pro-patent position, tabling an amendment in favor of program claims in JURI. Christa Prets from the same party was more critical. Mercedes Echerer (Greens) was one of the most vocal critics. Othmar Karas led the conservative (ÖVP) group into a critical position fairly early, in contrast to the pro-patent hardliners Wuermeling und Harbour who were leading the EPP. His colleague Paul Rübig of SME Union also supported this approach. Both signed the amendments of Piia-Noora-Kauppi in the final vote. FPÖ also took a patent-critical position. Thus, in sharp contrast with its position in the Council, Austria appeared as an almost completely patent-critical country in the Parliament.
