Moderator contact address:  pjt@cs.su.oz.au (Peter Treloar)

For your newsgroups file:
comp.patents	        Discussing patents of computer technology. (Moderated)

The charter, culled from the call for votes:

	A group for the discussion of issues relating to patents
	and their relationship to computer technology (hardware & software) 

	(although it is envisaged that the the nature of the
	subject would allow discussions that are not
	necessarily restricted to computer technology nor strictly
	to patents, but rather to be centered around these topics.)

	Examples include:
		-The provision of FAQ relating to basics of patent laws.
		-The social usefulness of software patents
		-The patentability or patent status of a particular
		algorithm.
		-The international patent laws
		-business transactions that involve the exchange of
		patent information, such as cross-licensing or
		litigation of patents. 
		-recent court cases where companies or individuals 
		have run into patent troubles.
		-other legal aspect of computers and technology

1) comp.patents is moderated

2) Please use a Distribution: local header on your newgroups.  Or even better,
if you're using C News, don't even post a message to add groups; use the
provided utilities.
