Feeling hungry for software patents in the EU?

Here's a sneaky one.

Remember Jonathan Zuck's Association for Competitive Technology, which we reported to the FTC? Well, guess who will be a special guest in the continent where ACT does not even belong (although its offices are based where lobbyists and diplomats roam)?

“Didn’t the Commission promise to mitigate the issue of corporate control of governments, through lobbyists in particular?”According to this -- a page that has just been torn down (Google cache here) -- ACT will participate under a speaker's position. It is listed under "Industry Representatives" as "Jonathan Zuck, President, ACT \ USA." Zuck is also listed here as a moderator.

This is supposed to be a European conference, so why involve people who represent (and are funded by) foreign monopolists, who might deserve an embargo? Didn't the Commission promise to mitigate the issue of corporate control of governments, through lobbyists in particular? ⬆
