Slashdot Mirror

Nokia seems absolutely pro-swpat in europe. Their patent department has done lots of lobbying in conferences and in the European Parliament. We encountered the head of their IP department, Tim Frain, in Bournemouth in summer 2002. Participants at the conference easily demonstrated that his arguments are economic nonsense.

The internet software for the Nokia phones is developped by Opera and not Nokia itself. Opera is supporting our directive counter proposal.

We have seen Tim Frain at the 7th november and 26th november hearings in Brussels, he seems to be a European Parliament "resident".
