Cordis: Little Hope for European Community Patent

According to an article from the Cordis News Service on June 30, 2004, 

The Dutch do not hold out much hope for reaching an agreement on the proposed Community patent during their presidency, and therefore state that 'The issue will only be placed on the Council's agenda if the member states opposing the plan are willing to contribute in a constructive manner to breaking the impasse.'
