Hi!
At time I'm working on a report for universtiy with the topic "The 
importance of small- and medium-sized enterprises in Germany and Japan 
for innovation". Relating to this topic and the discussion about 
software patents in the EU (btw. thx to poland) I would like to include 
this as well.
  I would like to ask if someone on this list knows something about 
software patents in Japan. Maybe some sources in the net (I'm googling 
at time) or just the information: Software patents in Japan do not 
exist and there is no discussion about it.
Sources would be best in English, but Japanese would be ok as well.

Thanks in advance

Niels
