The first highlight of today is Mr Poore’s jumper. Mr Poore is the Journal Editor, a member of Council, a past President of CIPA, a barrister, a solicitor, a patent attorney and the stand-in for the Chair of the Congress Steering Committee. But he has no taste in jumpers. The proper Chair cannot fulfil his duties because he is on holiday this year. Apparently that is what retired patent attorneys do. I seem to be getting this bit wrong. But then I got things wrong before I retired too, so I guess the writing was on the wall from the start. We hold the meeting as planned but try to avert our gazes from Mr Poore’s jumper, which is distracting because it looks like someone has ironed a stick of rock onto him and a patent attorney should not look like an ironed stick of rock. Still, I am encouraged to see that Past Presidents do not have to be dignified for the rest of their lives. I am so looking forward to testing this for myself.
