You are saying to make the patents uniform, but only for the EU? Why not do it right and do it global?
Secondly, I was not suggesting anything, but going for "the most spoken language" as the criterion and then pick English is wrong. THAT is what I was saying.
Technically english would be correct too, while english is not the most spoken language natively, english could have between 500 million or 1.4 billion non-native speakers in fact it's claimed that just india and china have half a billion english speakers, and almost every country is pushing for the english language in their public schools
