Thomson and European Software Patents
Commemorate Banana Union Day

Various subsidiaries of the US-based Thomson group have been active in lobbying for software patentability in Europe. Thomson's strategy is largely based on acquiring patents and enforcing them, but Thomson also has an R&D department of its own. One of Thomson's first victims in Europe was Tord Jansson, a developper of opensource audio streaming software. Thomson has shifted its MP3 licensing conditions from a liberal to a more aggressive regime, so that some shareware developpers were forced to take support for MP3 encoding and decoding out of their software after having spent years on developping it.
Note that Thomson probably owns many more than these, because its business model is (partially) based on acquiring and enforcing other companies's patents.
