ABSTRACT
In a nutshell, it is ruptures in the normal flow of events indicating the rise of worldviews with the capacity to change the world, which leads to the change or reconsideration of established practice by bringing it onto the conscious level. Some organizations representing European businesses, lawyers, established industry players, and government agencies welcomed the proposal in view of the ambiguity surrounding the patentability of software related inventions. Patents are protected by the Paris Convention and the Trade Related Intellectual Property (TRIPs) agreement. The analysis presents us with the 'juridico-administrative' way of thinking, nurtured in legal education and administrative modes of reasoning. Interestingly, the consultation showed that the group opposing software patents was numerically dominant. The proposed Directive is a good example of how legal concepts are given divergent interpretations in the light of accepted social stereotypes. A sophisticated exposition of arguments is further desired, in order to denote mastery of the national language employed.
