Patent Pope Prof. Dr. Josef Straus

Managing Director of a patent movement think tank in Munich which derives its reputation mainly from the name of poor old Max Planck. Promoter of gene and software patents, firm believer in the unconditional beneficiality and inevitably growing importance of "intellectual property in the knowledge economy", teacher of numerous equally firm-believing disciples, drafter of guiding papers and resolutions for lobby organisations such as AIPPI as well as expert opinions for patent offices and governments, partner in a study on software patentability ordered by the German government -- and screwed by Straus and his disciples, who refused to subject their holy belief system to such profane an endeavor as the government had requested, namely an economic analysis of law.
