Mr Gentry is speaking this week at the expensive conference IPBusinessCongress in Amsterdam, which is gathering many members of the patent community:

15:20 - 16:20
St John’s Room II

New opportunities for patent owners in Europe
• The London Agreement, the Community patent, a single patent litigation system
• An evolving market for patent rights
• The political dimension - patents under pressure
Moderator: Joff Wild (UK), Editor, IAM magazine
Speakers:
Mike Barlow (UK), Head, Global Patents and Technology Law, BP plc
Severin de Wit (Netherlands), Managing consultant, IPEG Consultancy
Simon Gentry (UK), Director, Campbell Gentry

Note that the moderator Joff Wild has already said that the central court could bring the codification of software patents by the backdoor:
