Chances For Renewed European IP Politics.

Mr. Joff Wild of IAM has

posted in his blog an interesting article considering that during coming years three European pro-patent political heavyweights might well change the landscape of Intellectual Property in Europe:

Ms Angelika Merkel, Chancellor of Germany,
Mr Gordon Brown, soon-to-be Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, and
Mr Nicolas Sarkozy, President of France.

One near consequence of the election of Mr Sarkozy in France might be the

ratification of the London Agreement by France even this year, although it is likely that there will be a last-ditch campaign against ratification from, among others, French patent attorneys, many of whom remain staunchly opposed.
