A director of the EPO is giving a talk from 08h30 to 10h00 this Friday in Dublin about software patents.
Forfas have recorded previous talks, but the Q&A sessions are not recorded. http://www.forfas.ie/news/intellectual_property/
If someone could attend and send some notes afterwards, and/or use the opportunity to ask a question of the EPO Director, I think that would be good. ...I can give suggestions for a question if wanted.
Here're the details: ==========8<---------------- LICENSING EXECUTIVE SOCIETY & FORFÁS SECOND-FRIDAY SERIES INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY LECTURES

This is an obvious one - but if they are advocating software patents, ask them what economic studies support the contention that software patents benefit innovation. you should make sure that you have a few choice quotes from economic studies that come out against software patents handy.
