However, even that is too much to pay for academic curiosity. Maybe it will become available on YouTube once it has been made into a film.<br /><br />Kind regards,<br /><br /><br />George Brock-NannestadAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574479.post-61172643564780497212011-04-11T14:56:04.679+01:002011-04-11T14:56:04.679+01:00I also decided not to fork out the £150, especiall...I also decided not to fork out the £150, especially as my understanding is that the standard is not really addressed to Patent Attorneys and the like. The IPO's booklet "Choosing the right IP advisor" <br />http://www.ipo.gov.uk/ipadviserbooklet.pdf <br /> has this to say about the standard: <br /><br /><i>The standard is voluntary and can be confirmed by self-assessment or by second party assessment – for example an internal audit; BSI and the IPO do not carry out checks.<br />If an adviser claims conformity to this standard and an individual disagrees action can be taken through the Trading Standards Institute. www.ipo.gov.uk/business-adviser.htm<br /></i>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574479.post-59012503474408457912011-04-11T12:44:14.445+01:002011-04-11T12:44:14.445+01:00There's the rub.

Having sent in comments on the draft British Standard, I would like to see the final version, but I don't wish to pay £150 (or whatever the price is) for the privilege. I did ask BSI for a review copy, but they declined. :-(<br /><br />Perhaps you may have better luck as you are planning to write a review.Mark Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14407839707461689152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574479.post-41065919396036824132011-04-11T12:03:18.101+01:002011-04-11T12:03:18.101+01:00I would be happy to review BS 8538:2011, if you pr...I would be happy to review BS 8538:2011, if you provide me with a review copy.<br /><br />Best wishes,<br /><br />George Brock-NannestadAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
