I too was mysteriously overlooked despite having written to my MP and received an answer. It seems the patent lobby are desperately keen to continue running their government powered propoganda without wanting to hear the truth.

I'm apparently important enough both to get invited to talk in the EU building and for the patent office to fear every word I have to say about their plans.

Unfortunately with all the underhand game playing both in the EU council of ministers and in UK government and patent circles it isn't the slightest suprise.

The fact is: Software developers today are really designers and not coders. The reason that business anlaysts exist today to model solutions is because they understand the value of designing software before writing it. All too often developers create code that has little value because they do not understand that business classes interact with other classes within the confines of a working model or pattern.
