Since, the rapporteur Michel Rocard MEP's report on the 13 April, the Secretary of State and his predecessor, my right hon. Friend, the Member for Leicester, West have received two letters on the computer implemented inventions directive. One of these letters came from the Chartered Institute of Patent Agents and the other came from the right hon. Member for Newcastle upon Tyne, East and Wallsend, passing on the concerns of a constituent. Officials at the Patent Office have continued to engage with all interested parties, having recently completed a series of workshops on the concept of ““technical contribution”” within the directive. These workshops were attended by over 300 people, and a full report is available on the Patent Office website.
