[10:07] schestowitz-TR I've just committed the changes [10:07] Techrights-sec Yes, it is not commited I want to make sure I got all the lines fixed first.

The topic of my talk will be How the EPO examines software patents. [22:07] schestowitz One of the speakers before my slot will be Fritz Blumer, legal member of the EPO Boards of Appeal, who was involved in G1/19. Another speaker will be Harald Heiske, IP Counsel at Siemens, who is not very much in favor of G1/19. [22:07] schestowitz All in all, it looks like the lineup could involve a vivid - and quite controversial - discussion. So I wanted to give you the opportunity to have your say: [22:07] schestowitz Whats your feedback on G1/19 to an EPO Board of Appeal member? Hit reply and tell me, and I will feed it back to Mr. Blumer. [22:07] schestowitz " [22:07] schestowitz Fritz Blumer brushing shoulders with swpats fanatics. We wrote about Fritz Blumer months ago.
