In 2002 the FFII closely monitored the situation concerning software patent legislation in Brussels and continued to be a major source of expertise for journalists and politicians. Hartmut Pilch, Peter Gerwinski, André Rebentisch and others attended major conferences on behalf of FFII. The FFII also greatly improved its internal organisational structures and grew in terms of number of members from a dozen to >100.
