You speak as if the data was somehow there in our records, just not made
public. The reality is that the data isn't even in our records - all
invoices pertaining to trademark registrations land in the same
accounting category and without going back and looking at the individual
invoices we can't even tell how much is paid for fees and how much for
lawyers. I'll try and figure it out for you.

"Jein", as we would say in Germany; SotM-WG would like to disagree with
you. In my 2016 budget I simply put a zero for SotM because I thought
that they'll manage to come out even. But Rob has, at the time, pointed
out that it would be more accurate to include something like "SOTM
income - £60k, SOTM expenses - £60k" to make it clear how large that
budget item is in fact compared to the other items.

Bye
Frederik
