At the conference on counterfeiting and piracy in Stockholm, 22-24 april,=
 I
met a Chinese lawyer who worked with defending a patent on Chinese ideogr=
ams
on cellphone displays.

That would be a swpat, but I think I read about EPO not approving patents=
 on
graphical inventions some five years ago. I think that was about arabic
letters. Perhaps Chinese patent law is unlimited.
