Europe
In Europe, as of mid-2009, the primary worries are:
- The Community patent:
- The United Patent Litigation System (UPLS)
- This has been made a priority for the Coucil of Ministers for 2009 and 2010: "...finding solutions and reachingagreement in both areas as a matter of urgency"[1]
- The ongoing EPO EBA referral G3-08
- Possible new legislation after November 2009 (when a new European Commission is chosen)

Latin America
In Latin America the main threat of software patents comes from trade agreements, principally from the USA but also some with support from Europe and Japan.
World trade agreements are also a worry.
In Costa Rica, the patent office is granting software patents.
Possible problems also exist in the countries which have signed up to the Free Trade Area of the Americas such as Colombia, Peru, and Chile. According to some, this agreement requires the signatories to accept USA patents, but this is far from clear.
