From Vicom to Astron Clinica

For those who have not yet had enough of the recent kerfuffle over computer program patent claims in the UK, IPKat co-blogmeister David has written a short article on the subject. This was written at the request of Laurence Eastham, editor of the publication Computers & Law, and it will apparently be making an appearance in the next issue (not the latest issue: right). The article is already available online here, but unfortunately to subscribers only. The author is therefore making it available to all interested readers here. All constructive comments are welcome.
