ITMA have invited me to their pre-conference drinks. Again I am taking my Presidential duties very seriously and throwing myself into the event with gusto. The ITMA people ply me with alcohol, and then ask me how it feels to be nearing the end of my Presidential term. The alcohol tells me it’s OK to be honest about this. So I explain about my bucket list and about looking forward to the day when I can publish and be damned. They look a little nervous. This diary of yours, they say, do you mention any, er, ITMA people in it? I tell them that I have learnt a lot from being President, but that I don’t think any of it would count as “transferable”, because it is mainly about patent attorneys and how to get the better of them. Ah yes, patent attorneys, they say. Tell us, why are patent attorneys always so bad-tempered? I tell them to shut up and leave me alone.
