[Staffs] software patents government workshop [Fwd: [Liverpool] [Fwd: Workshop on computation patents]]

[Richard Smedley]

There's also one in Coventry, Tuesday 15 March, if that's
handier for people.

Now that the whole process is being restarted, it's important
to make sure that the government understand right from the
start the unintended consequences of a vague ``technical
contribution'' definition on pure software.
