Since it was developed mainly during the industrial revolution to protect material innovations, patent law
cannot be applied to "intangible industrial inventions". Software for example is denied patentability due
to its lack of materiality. Such a justification for this denial is economic nonsense, international patent law
must be adapted to cover the emerging virtual world. This has not been done. Unsuited to modern
innovation, international patent law has reached a period of decline. This decline is due to the fact that
despite the existence of international agreements, States have now come to ignore the framework of the
patent system (for software) and sometimes to adopt new international agreements (for semi-conductor
chips). This book explains how we reached this situation, and how and why we should urgently modernize
and rebalance the international patent system.
Publisher's note: This book is an abridged version of the out print book: Proposals for a worldwide change
of Patent law, published by Innovative Justice in 1994. It does not list all the case law now available on the
issue of computer software. This can now be found in digital databases and no longer needs to be printed.
This book brings thoughts that are still new in the legal establishement and points out how we could improve
the international patent system.
