- Subject: CFV: comp.patents, misc.legal.computing and misc.int-property
-
- For those of who don't read news.announce.newgroups, here's a set of
- proposal for some new newsgroups. Voting continues to the end of the
- month.
-
- A group for the discussion of issues related to patents and their
- relationship to computer technology (hardware and software); Peter
- Treloar, University of Sydney, is moderator.
-
- A group for the discussion of the legal aspects of computers, or
- places where computers or computer users bump into the law. This
- charter is very broad, and the group is unmoderated.
-
- A group for the discussion of intellectual property rights, that is to
- say the field clustering around the notions of patents, copyrights,
- trade secrets, or other rights and benefits retained by the original
- producer of a creative work. The group is unmoderated.
-
- To vote you may reply to this message. Using this suggested text will
- let the votes be counted quickly and painlessly.
