Abstract
The paper gives reasons for which the term "Design Pattern" should be used in a stricter manner. The definition of "Design Pattern" should include the highest degree of generalization and ensure that the solution offered covers the invariable of all solutions to this kind of problems. The main conclusion to be drawn from this paper is that "Factory Method" ((GoF (107)) should not be considered a pattern since the solution it provides is too narrow. Budgen's arced bridge [1] is not really a pattern either because the problem can be stated in a more general manner.
