Probably. Most of the bad IP legislature on the EU level appears to have been pushed by French politicians, Three strikes was first introduced in France, many French politicians get a job with the entertainment industry's lobby in France after their carreer...<br>

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

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