Campaign for Creativity is run by Simon Gentry, a PR professional who works as a hired-gun outfit for corporate lobby groups (previously he successfully lobbied for the extremist "Life Patent" Directive which is causing all sorts of problems). C4C is a front for corporate interests masquerading as a grass-roots organisation.
I'm not sure about patents4innovation, but I suspect it is similar.

Pretty funny, if they weren't a bit scary. The Irish partners of the Patents4Innovation campaign are listed as "ICT Ireland", which is an IBEC subgroup: http://www.ictireland.ie/
