At the Enterprise Conference on 2 December 2005,
the Chancellor of the Exchequer announced that, as part of the Pre-Budget Report
2005 package, he was asking Andrew
Gowers to lead an Independent Review to examine the UK's intellectual
property framework.
The Open Rights Group has been formally invited to
participate. We are currently drafting our submission and wish to include your
thoughts and opinions. We have reproduced the Call for Evidence below and invite
you to contribute - just hit 'respond' next to the paragraph you wish to comment
on.
Many of the questions asked by Andrew Gowers in this
review are very focused, but you should feel free to comment on the issues and
the wider implications rather than feel obliged to provide specific answers. If
you want to talk about issues not raised by this call for evidence, please do -
just leave your comments on the Introduction.
