  • At 5.30pm, "Don't trip on the inventive step" - A meeting on the UKPO Consultation on Inventive Step and Its Relation to Software and Business Process Patents in the UK and EU, organised by FFII-UK. If you want to come to this, email coordinator@ffii.org.uk

Curious kat

Travelling on the Tube this morning, the IPKat came across a poster depicting a picture of a donkey listening to an iPod which was connected to a carrot dangled in front of its nose. This was accompanied by the words 'iFollow' and 'iDon't.com'. However, the website doesn't seem to work.

Do any of the IPKat's readers know, is this a protest or parody, a take off of iPod's campaign for commercial purposes or something else?

    The website seems to be working now -- though it looks to be just a teaser. Something about an alternative to iPod and the "iTatorship" which I'm assuming must mean the iPod/iTunes domination of the MP3 market. I think a full explination is coming tomorrow ... the site says "The alternative is coming 5-22-06". Is there a new MP3 player hitting the market tomorrow?

    It's just another cheapskate copied mp3 player trying to take a bite at Apple. My guess it will be gone before you can 'sandisk'!

All comments must be moderated by a member of the IPKat team before they appear on the blog. Comments will not be allowed if the contravene the IPKat policy that readers' comments should not be obscene or defamatory; they should not consist of ad hominem attacks on members of the blog team or other comment-posters and they should make a constructive contribution to the discussion of the post on which they purport to comment.

It is also the IPKat policy that comments should not be made completely anonymously, and users should use a consistent name or pseudonym (which should not itself be defamatory or obscene, or that of another real person), either in the "identity" field, or at the beginning of the comment. Current practice is to, however, allow a limited number of comments that contravene this policy, provided that the comment has a high degree of relevance and the comment chain does not become too difficult to follow.
