"Following the meeting about the Directive Computer-Implemented Inventions Directive on 14 December 2004, we are now arranging workshops to discuss 'technical contribution'.
These workshops are intended to explore the definition of 'technical contribution' and test ideas against possible innovations. They will be open to all those from the UK who have an interest in this technical issue.
The workshops will take the form of small groups which will each have an opportunity to feed back their discussion to the meeting as a whole. We would like to encourage all attendees to actively participate in, what we hope will be, a constructive debate. The Minister will be informed of the output from the workshops, which will help to inform the Government's position in any further discussions on the Directive.
The workshops are provisionally booked as follows, subject to levels of interest:
Belfast - Monday 4 April 2005
Bolton - Thursday 17 March 2005
Bristol - Friday 18 March 2005
Cardiff - Friday 8 April 2005
Coventry - Tuesday 15 March 2005
Glasgow - Tuesday 5 April 2005
London - Thursday 7 April 2005
If you would like to attend one of the workshops, please register your interest by 18 February 2005."
