#Wen: Political Activism of Nokia Patent Department in the name of Nokia

#epat: Nokia Software Patents at the European Patent Office (EPO)

#tWa: Nokia seems absolutely pro-swpat. 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.

#Wod: The internet software for the Nokia phones is developped by Opera and
not Nokia itself.  Opera is %(su:supporting) our %(dp:directive
counter proposal).

#aan: We have seen Tim Frain at the 7th november and 26th november hearings
in Brussels, he seems to be a European Parliament %(q:resident).
