Subject: UK Stance on software patents ...



Just in case you haven't heard (yet) - the UK Patent
Office are asking for feedback/comments about
what to do about software patents ...

"We want to know what you think about this so that
Government policy is evidence-based and relevant
to business, commerce, and consumers - in other
words to you. So, whether you are in the software
industry, financial services, are a software user, a
consumer, or are otherwise interested, we want to
hear from you."

(deadline is 15th December 2000)

Kevin.
