Bill: Patenting Act 2510
Details
Submitted by[?]: National Conservative Party
Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: July 2511
Description[?]:
| In recent times we have seen our IT Companies such as Beluzio Soft and Dang Electronics lose business because other companies have stolen their ideas and put their own brand on them. Enough is enough - we have hard working Beluzians designing software for the good of the community, earning an income yet we as legislators refuse to implement policy to protect them. This is where the Conservatives come in - we move that any software that is designed and created must be patented from the National Patent Office. This will allow the protection of individuals intelligence and promote good business ethics within this great nation. It was quite clear which party protects individual rights in this place - it deffinately isnt the looney left. |

| Random quote: "Ask the experimenters why they experiment on animals, and the answer is: "Because the animals are like us." Ask the experimenters why it is morally okay to experiment on animals, and the answer is: "Because the animals are not like us." Animal experimentation rests on a logical contradiction." - Charles R.
