Why do you think this is a good place to open this conversation?  It
isn't: this isn't a legal forum, and we claim no special expertise in
patent law.

Sorry, that ship has sailed.  If you want to change that, you need to
lobby your government to try to get out of its treaty obligations. 
As I understand it, such direct lobbying would also violate our tax
status; which is the other reason not to raise this issue here.

So please have this conversation elsewhere.  There _are_ fora where
this issue has already been discussed in rather a lot of detail, so I
suspect a little time with Google would be something that would
benefit you.
