Volvo letter to EP: Patent Loser Lobbying for Council Proposal
The representative office of Volvo Motors in Brussels has sent in
recent days a paper to members of the European Parliament, dated 15
March 2005, which calls them to support the Council's "Common
Position". The letter reads like a copied and pasted from similar
letters sent by other large Swedish companies, consisting mainly of
unsubstantiated bold statements about the importance of patents and
the "devastating effects" that any serious limitation of patentability
would have.
