30/06/2004 (Agence Europe) - The French employers' organisation Medef has published a Patent Manifesto of a dozen or so pages. It urges the Council of the EU and the European Commission to finally agree on the establishment of the Community patent and a single legal system under the responsibility of the European Court of Justice for settling disputes surrounding the patent. It also wants the directive on patentability of computer-designed inventions to be endorsed in the form in which it has been adopted by the Council (the directive has come up against strong opposition at the European Parliament, Ed.).
