Patenting Lives Workshops 2006
The first in a series of free public workshops is to be held, Monday, 13 November 2006, at 6pm.
The first in the series is "Criminal Enforcement Directive and Patent Law: Let the Punishment Fit the Crime?" An panel of experts will debate the issues, followed by a discussion and drinks.
The meeting is free and open to the public, but places are limited, so please register by email to Johanna Gibson.
Details about forthcoming workshops will be available on this website and the Patenting Lives Blog.
The first conference of the Patenting Lives Project was staged in December 2005.
Media releases produced by the Project are now available and archived on the new Media Releases page.
You may now read and contribute to the Patenting Lives Blog, a blog especially devoted to discussion and debate on the issues raised by life patents. We welcome your contribution.
