Luxemburg and Software Patents

The Luxemburg government is interested in having European patent institutions such as the planned patent court in Luxemburg. As in other countries, the people who determine patent policies for Luxemburg in the European Patent Organisation and the European Council come from a patent law and patent office background. In September 2000 they voted for deletion of "programs for computers" from the list of exclusions, thereby initially overruling the large states.

Lilux: Luxemburg und Softwarepatente: LiLux, the Linux User Group of Luxembourg, began developped activities on this subject in 2002. It is currently focussing on finding out more about the position that Luxemburg will take in the Council.
