Parlamento Europeo:
más innovación, estándares y software libre. 

Cuando se cumple un año menos un día del prácticamente unánime rechazo de la Directiva de Patentes de software por parte del Parlamento Europeo, sus señorías, reunidas en su sede de Estrasburgo (Francia), acaban de aprobar una resolución dirigida a la Comisión y al Consejo en la que demandan más investigación, más innovación y estándares, así como que la protección de la propiedad intelectual no interfiera con el conocimiento ni el software libres. La ponente de la Cámara para esta resolución ha sido la eurodiputada española del Partido Popular Europeo, Pilar del Castillo, miembro del Comité de Industria, Investigación y Energía del Parlamento.

More research and innovation - investing for growth and employment
(A6-0204/2006 - Rapporteur: Pilar del Castillo Vera)
Committee on Industry, Research and Energy
PE 370.183
European Parliament resolution on implementing the Community Lisbon
Programme: more research and innovation - investing for growth and
employment: A common approach (2006/2005(INI))

The European Parliament,
13.     Stresses the importance of promoting the integration of products,
processes and knowledge-based services and the introduction of different
support systems into non-technological sectors; draws attention in this
connection to the fact that non-technological innovation also
encompasses social innovation and institutional innovation;
17.     Urges Member States to create an innovation-friendly market for
citizens and businesses, ensuring better regulation, standards, public
procurement and intellectual property rights; urges the Commission to
provide information on the protection of the intellectual property rights;
18.     Takes note of the Commissions' view that the EU must acquire a
cost-effective, legally watertight and user-friendly system of
intellectual property protection so as to attract technologically
advanced companies; considers that the protection of intellectual
property must not interfere with open access to public goods and public
knowledge; urges the Commission to promote a socially inclusive
knowledge-based society by supporting, for example, free and open source
software and licensing concepts like the General Public License (GPL)
and the Public Documentation Licence (PDL);
24.     Notes the need for a Community patent and trademark, and for
improved reciprocity between the European, United States' and Japanese
patent systems; stresses that an integrated Community patent system
based on democratic legal standards must be part of an innovation
strategy, in which it is essential to ensure a balance between
protection of industrial property, dissemination of technical knowledge
and free and unrestricted competition; underlines that the purpose of
the protection provided by a patent is the safeguarding of an invention
and not the controlling of market sectors;
25.     Asks the Council to end the stalemate over the proposed Community
patent as far as the language regime is concerned;
