France to Ratify London Agreement on Patent Language

The IPKat is purring Est-ce que c'est vrai? According to a recent (machine translated) report in Le Monde, France is just about to ratify the London agreement:

In the next days, we will announce a radical reformation of the credit tax
research for that 100% research expenditures are taken into account.
Simultaneously, one will create the statute of "young university business",
merge [the agencies of assistance to the businesses] Oseo and A2I, and, at last,
ratify the London agreement on the patents.

The Kat is looking forward to "the long-awaited day when applicants will finally be able to get a European patent with decent coverage without the need to spend huge amounts of money on translations." More about the London Agreement here.
