As I mentioned in my last post, Forfas hosted a talk about software patents, given by an EPO attorney, in June 2005 - a month before the Big Vote.
We should have been aware of this at the time. So that we don't miss more events like this, we should try to keep an eye on the following:
http://www.forfas.ie http://www.patentsoffice.ie/ http://www.entemp.ie
When I get time, I'm going to look for mailing lists / newsletters for these organisations so that I (and anyone else) can sign up to to stay informed. Does anyone else have suggestions for organisations to add to that list?
Recordings and transcripts for forfas' last series of talks (including the above mentioned June '05 swpat talk) are available on the forfas talks page: http://www.forfas.ie/news/intellectual_property/
(Also, I just found http://www.cai.ie/ while looking around the Net. Anyone heard of them? "Copyright Association of Ireland")

I mentioned the Forfas talks on my weblog in April:

and (more usefully) here, too:

CAI are certainly worth keeping an eye on -- they seem to contain most of Ireland's IP lawyer community, and not all of those are unsympathetic. ;)
