All of the elements and processes indicated in the graphic below are covered by granted (not just requested) European Patents. Such patents would be rendered enforceable by the directive in the versions adopted by the European Commission and the Council of Ministers. The directive as voted by the whole European Parliament (1st reading) however, makes sure these patents remain what they are today: examples of the EPO's drift towards unlimited patentability, without any legal value whatsoever.
