We don't have software patents (as such! [lol]) in Europe.

Software is different, in that source and decompilation exist, you can't really keep it secret.

EU has software patents. The same applications that are filed and issued in the US get filed and issued in the EU too.

Also, there is no such thing as a software patent.
