He needs to know *why* a conversation with McGann does not tell you what
the industry really thinks. *We* know that business often says patents
are a good idea because patent lawyers tell it so. *We* know that
EICTA's position was formulated by patent lawyers talking among
themselves without really talking to member organizations. Lots of
business journalists and managers don't understand these things.
Pointing them towards business opinion on swpat unmediated by patent
lawyers would be helpful.
