Subject: [Patents] Consultation

>Can people participate in this consultation process?

They certainly can.  Any interested party can send their comments to the Internal Market DG of the Commission, by 15 December 2000.  The address for such comments is given within the document itself (page 3 of the English version).

As the document states, there will be a meeting of the Member States in December.  With this in mind, interested parties in the UK may (if they wish) copy the Patent Office in on any comments sent to the Commission.  The relevant contact is:

Mr Jeff Watson

I hope this is helpful.
