[Wylug-discuss] Software patents

[Phil Driscoll]

Further to our discussions yesterday evening, I have been trying to contact 
our MEPs today. It looks like me might be able to get a meeting with our 
LibDem MEP, Diana Wallis, before the software patent issue goes before the 
legal affairs committee in the middle of June (probably on a Friday - don't 
know which yet).

Meanwhile, for those who would like more information on the issues surrounding 
EU software patents, take a look at:

If there are any SMEs who are prepared to go to lobby in Brussels after the 
23rd May, some funding may be available to help you get there, and the ffii 
can offer you a lot of support and guidance whilst you are there. For more 
details on this, please contact me off list.
