Letter from Keith Bradley MP, to Marek Isalski, dated 22 December 2004. The letter says:
Dear Marek Isalski,
Thank you for your e-mail dated 13th December, 2004 regarding software patents in relation to EU legislation.
In order that your concerns can be properly addressed, I have today written to the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry on your behalf and immediately I receive a reply I will write to you again.
Yours sincerely,
The Rt. Hon. Keith Bradley MP, Manchester Withington
Software patents. I don’t want them. I don’t think my employer will want them. The EU is pushing a directive permitting software patents. Believing myself to be in the EU (which currently does not permit software patents), and believing the UK to have adopted the same patentability laws as the EU, I faxed my MP.
