#Hoi: Francisco Mingorance #ArW: Apparent author of the European Commission's software patentability draft proposal. An expert in patent law affairs, with little affinity to the world of software, abruptly hired by BSA as a director of European public policy, immediately granted privileged access to the European Commission. #Mps: Mingorance is the current director of public policy for Europe at %(BSA) and a longtime subscriber of an eurolinux-related patents mailing list. Until recently, he used to work as a fundraising manager for an AIDS help organisation in Geneva. In that function, he tried hard to defend the patent system against what he called %(q:vilification) by the supporters of the South African government's battle for lower drug prices. #title: Francisco Mingorance # Local Variables: ; # coding: utf-8 ; # srcfile: /ul/prg/src/mlht/sys/mlhtmake.el ; # mailto: mlhtimport@a2e.de ; # login: phm ; # passwd: YYYYY ; # feature: swpatdir ; # dok: swpatmingorance ; # txtlang: en ; # multlin: t ; # End: ;
