[pp.int.general] French "IP lawyers" for software patents in the EU?

[Daniel Riaño]

The Intellectual Property watch has this short note (you have to pay
to read the full piece) about a meeting of French IP lawyers
apparently defending "the new America Invents Act as facilitating
patent applications in the United States"

Is there any more info about this meeting? Does it means those French
"IP lawyers" are for software patents in the EU?
