schestowitz__The link to Marki's blog article in that post is still active.May 08 13:23
schestowitz__Quite frankly, it is hardly surprising that few people (Marki is a notable exception) are willing to discuss trade secrets. Much of my working life, both as an engineer and subsequently in patents, involved work that was of a commercially or militarily-sensitive nature, where the "need to know" principle meant that details were only given to those who did actually need them. I am afraid that third party researchers would seldom May 08 13:23
schestowitz__fall into this category, whether private or government. May 08 13:23

schestowitz__I mentioned in the earlier post the company that nearly came a cropper when a competitor patented something that arguably covered their unpatented new product. Under the pre-1977 UK Patents Act, prior secret use could invalidate a later-filed patent, so if someone who had been doing something secretly and was threatened, they could identify their secret prior use in confidence. The threatener would then go away and continue to May 08 13:23
schestowitz__assert their patent against others. May 08 13:23
schestowitz__I am afraid I still laugh inwardly when I see references to "evidence-based policy". On a course at the Civil Service College several decades ago I learnt that policy was decided first, and then civil servants were instructed to extract supporting evidence from the, usually contradictory, available evidence, to support that policy, ignoring evidence to the contrary. I doubt that much has really changed since.May 08 13:23
