December 22, 2004 The controversial European Union Directive on the Patentability of Computer Implemented Inventions, also called the “software patent directive” has been put to rest for 2004. The directive was expected to easily pass through the European Council’s Fisheries Council on Tuesday, December 21, but was removed from the agenda at the request of Poland’s Minister of Science and Computerisation, Wlodzimierz Marcinski.

Thursday, February 22, 2007 In the largest study of its kind, a genetic analysis of 1,168 families with multiple cases of autism has identified genetic links to autism.
