I commend the above petition to you, patents are now stifling innovation 
rather than promoting it, costs of dicines, technology and software are 
artificially inflated by them. Genes are being patented, these are not 
inventions or innovations but living tissue that has been manipulated.  
When patents were thought of they were to allow the little man to 
benefit from his labours, now only big business can afford the process.

Please read the website and join in
