Re: English
'Companies will be able to opt out an "unlimited" number of their EU patents from the jurisdiction of the new Unified Patent Court.
Note the words "from the jurisdiction". That doesn't mean the patent doesn't exist (but see below) or that they don't patent things. It means that jurisdiction will fall back to some other court.
From the article:
"IT developers are working on releasing a dedicated API ... that can link in to third party software and enable multiple patent opt outs to be filed."
Wouldn't it be a good idea if there was an undiscovered bug in this that managed to completely lose anything that looked like a software patent?
