Then how could patents for software ideas be an illegitimate practice under the TRIPS agreement? Doesn't this just mean that software is both copyrightable and patentable? What am I missing?
This is the stupid argument that is frequently used by those who support "software patents".
Cool it, Doc... Forgive me for my ignorance!
Please note that, I am not supporting patenting of software ideas. I just want to know the right interpretation of the TRIPS agreement.
