On the European ICT industry, the "current discussion on the patent on software" (represents a) "particular threat".

:"''The mild regime of IP protection in the past has led to a very innovative and competitive software industry with low entry barriers. A software patent, which serves to protect inventions of a non-technical nature, could kill the high innovation rate. However, opinions on software patent in its current proposed form vary a lot. Many large companies operating on a global scale, including European ones, seem to be in favour of a software patenting regime. But most small enterprises are strongly opposed.''

Point #5 of the report discussed software patents, focussing on the threat they pose.
