The Commission will monitor the impact of computer-implemented inventions on innovation and competition, both within Europe and internationally, on Community businesses, especially small and medium-sized enterprises, on the open-source community and on electronic commerce.

The proposed Directive aims at ensuring an effective, transparent and harmonised protection of computer-implemented inventions throughout the Community so as to enable innovative enterprises to derive the maximum advantage from their inventive activity and provide an incentive for investment and innovation.

Therefore, if a person, in good faith and for business purposes, uses the invention or makes effective and serious preparations before the filing date, this person has the right to continue such use or to use the invention as planned during the preparations.
