A friend from the USPTO mentioned that he'd set up a PTO WWW server at http://www.uspto.gov/ Went and had a look, not a whole lot of stuff yet, but there's some probably- important material here, including transcripts of the Arlington and San Jose hearings on software patents. These can now be found also at ftp://ftp.eff.org/pub/EFF/Policy/Intellectual_Property/ gopher://gopher.eff.org/00/EFF/Policy/Intellectual_Property/ http://www.eff.org/pub/EFF/Policy/Intellectual_Property/ The www.uspto.gov site has the benefit of having html versions up, so that you can find specific testimony, which is quite handy: http://www.uspto.gov/text/pto/hearings/arlington.html http://www.uspto.gov/text/pto/hearings/san_jose.html There are also Unix ASCII, DOS ASCII, compress'd ASCII, gzip'd ASCII, Adobe Acrobat Exchange PDF, and MS-Word for Mac (BinHex'd StuffIt archive) formats available at the PTO site. Also available (at both the USPTO and EFF paths) is a file containing the collected written testimony submitted to both hearings. -- Stanton McCandlish * mech () eff org * Electronic Frontier Found. OnlineActivist "In a Time/CNN poll of 1,000 Americans conducted last week by Yankelovich Partners, two-thirds said it was more important to protect the privacy of phone calls than to preserve the ability of police to conduct wiretaps. When informed about the Clipper Chip, 80% said they opposed it." - Philip Elmer-Dewitt, "Who Should Keep the Keys", TIME, Mar. 4 1994
