'''NZICT''' is a [[New Zealand]] based group that lobbies ''for'' [[software patents]]. NZICT is largely funded by companies outside of New Zealand.
 
 
 
According to patent attorney Steve Lundberg,<ref>http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:wzDfoNHqC5YJ:www.patents4software.com/%3Fp%3D72</ref> NZICT convinced the New Zealand government to abandon the ban of software patents they had announced in March 2010.<ref>http://news.swpat.org/2010/03/new-zealand-govt-against-software-patents/</ref>
 
 
 
==Who funds NZICT?==
 
 
 
NZICT's membership page lists 10 "Tier 1" members, 14 "Tier 2" members, and 63 "General" members.<ref>http://www.ict.org.nz/index.php/nzict-group/nzict-members/</ref>  Their Joining page explains that the annual fees are NZ$25,000 for Tier 1 members,  NZ$8,000 for Tier 2 members, and NZ$750 for General members.  The membership takings for 2010 are thus:
 
 
 
* NZ$250,000 from the Tier 1 members ('''61.1%''')
 
* NZ$112,000 from the Tier 2 members ('''27.4%''')
 
* NZ$47,250 from the General members ('''13.5%''')
 
* (total: NZ$409,250)
 
 
 
===What percent of funding comes from outside New Zealand===
 
{{help|Can someone with more knowledge of local companies look at the [http://www.ict.org.nz/index.php/nzict-group/nzict-members/ members list] and develop this section?}}
 
 
 
At first glance, at least NZ$199,000 of their annual membership fees (NZ$409,250) come from foreign companies:
 
 
 
* Foreign companies paying Tier 1 fees: [[Cisco]], [[Dell]], [[Hewlett Packard]], [[IBM]], [[Ingram Micro]], [[Microsoft]], [[Unisys]]
 
* Foreign companies paying Tier 2 fees: [[Fujitsu]], [[Lenovo]], [[Infosys]]
 
 
 
===Who are the Tier 1 funders?===
