We are moving on with adoption of new forms of communication. I hope that we will soon regularly feature video clips on the LESI web site. They might look like the following clip of the Inventor of the Year Award Ceremony 2008 organised by the European Patent Office. LES members are interested in business activities, such as licensing and technology transfer, which involve intellectual property rights. We shouldn't forget therefore that we depend on the activities of inventors and other creative people who generate the intellectual property, as well as on effective and fair legal systems which provide the rights.
