No sooner have I delivered my Congress opening speech, than I am required to write two more. I continue to find it bewildering that a liability such as myself should be allowed to go out into the world and make speeches on CIPA’s behalf. I can only think that the sooner Mr Lampert finishes our new Communications Strategy, the better, because although the Strategy will say lots about going out and being shouty, surely it will also say something about the quality of the shouting? The first speech is to welcome a new judge to the High Court. I have only met this judge once, last week, when I had a mouthful of canapé and was therefore not at my best. Also I have never been to the High Court. I am, therefore, about as unqualified to write and deliver this speech as a scarecrow. Except that I am the CIPA Pee. And this is just one of the things that the CIPA Pee has to do. It’s the Law. After I have practised my “Welcome, your Judge-ness” speech, I have to practise one for the week after, which is for women inventors. I have decided to address the women inventors on the subject of “Women in IP”, because at least I am a woman and I work in IP, which will make it harder for them to challenge what I say. It also makes the speech easier to write, although only just.
