We don't consider 99% of them patentable. They're a technique, a style, an algorithm. No more an invention than a simple method for doing arithmetic. Software

We don't consider 99% of them patentable. They're a technique, a style, an algorithm. No more an invention than a simple method for doing arithmetic. Software can rarely come under a patent in the EU, but there is a very high bar to reach first. It's not my field so I'll avoid trying to explain where that bar is.
