lpv:translated text	". The (‘Flemish Block’) opposes the patentability of computer-implemented inventions, it having been found in practice that software patents stifle the innovation capacity of small and medium-size enterprises in the IT industry. All too frequently, these patents are used improperly by (invariably American) computer giants with large in-house legal departments to take ‘offenders’ to court. These practices are crippling to free competition, since many patents relate to software which belongs to the public domain. Applying for, and obtaining, patents is an expensive business. New and creative IT businesses in Europe are right not to see the legal aspects that are involved as part of their core business. Europe is queering its own pitch by adopting this report."@en1
