Ciaran O'Riordan is giving a talk to members of ucd Netsoc on the current European Union directive on software patents on tuesday the 7th october at 7pm in ucd (i don't yet know which lecture theater - check netsoc.ucd.ie). This is a public lecture open to all, there is no entrance fee. It is part of a series of talks that we are running this semester on the general theme of something like "Legal issues concerned with computers". Two other talks (hopefully 28th oct and 18th nov) will be on "Data Retention in Ireland" and "The current European Union directive on Copyright" and given by Karen Lillington and Ciaran O'Riordan respectively, all are welcome.
Yours David Cathcart Netsoc
