De vil således stemme for, at TRIPs-aftalen kommer til at omfatte al software, og for, at idéer bliver til handelsvarer på et marked, hvor små og mellemstore virksomheder ikke har nogen jordisk chance for at klare sig, fordi omkostningerne til udvikling og forsvar af patenter i retten er for høje.
You will thereby be voting for software to be fully covered by the TRIPS agreement, and in favour of ideas becoming tradable commodities on a market in which small and medium-sized businesses will have no chance whatever to keep up, because the costs involved in developing patents and defending them in court are too great.
