| schestowitz | " | Sep 10 02:05 |
| schestowitz | One can only agree with the fellow commenters. The whole stance of Mr Christof Augenstein is a pro-domo plea, comforted by a heavy dose of wishful thinking. | Sep 10 02:05 |
| schestowitz | For a litigation lawyer shaping a completely new legal system is certainly a good perspective, at least moneywise. That judges might come from different legal systems is certainly to be seen positively, but in the countries with a lot of litigations there will be two national judges sitting in the panels of first instance. And even with a third judge, or on top a technical judge, the two nationals will be able to give the tone, as there | Sep 10 02:05 |
| schestowitz | will be always a majority possible for the two national judges, be it 2/1 or 3/2 as the chairman has a casting vote. It is not foreseen that a foreign judge will be chairman when two national judges will be in the panel, as this would be the only possibility to avoid a too heavy reliance on national legal traditions at the local level. | Sep 10 02:05 |
| schestowitz | It is good for the judges to have a lot of discretion, but which body will be able to check whether the discretion has been correctly applied? The UPC, like the Boards of Appeal of the EPO suffer from the fact that nowhere the discretion can be challenged. The EBA as well as the court of appeal of the UPC will only revise decisions from the lower instance on procedural points. | Sep 10 02:05 |
| schestowitz | Who said that the UPC will be incorporating the best approaches from various jurisdictions? The UPC foresees for instance a procedure called forced intervention. See R 316.2A UPC. This rule means that a third party can be bound by a decision of the UPC even if it has not taken part in the proceedings, after having been invited to do so. | Sep 10 02:05 |
| schestowitz | Such a rule only exists in some member states of the EU, for instance in France, where I never heard it was applied, but not in the vast majority of EU member states. This rule alone poses a constitutional problem, as it is difficult to understand, and even less to accept, that a party can be bound by the result of a procedure it has not participated in. As the UPC Rules of Procedure were not part of the ratification process, the | Sep 10 02:05 |
| schestowitz | constitutionality of such a measure has not been checked whatsoever. | Sep 10 02:05 |
| schestowitz | Another major constitutional problem which has not been resolved is the fact that a UPC judge can be removed from office by a decision of the Presidium, cf. Art 10 of the statute, but the same statute does not offer any means of redress to such a removed judge. | Sep 10 02:06 |
| schestowitz | The statute is integral part of the UPC, and one wonders how such an incredible rule has at all been ratified. I guess the CJEU may have some interesting comments to make on this point, but everything possible has been made so that the CJEU did not put its nose in the UPC beforehand. One wonders why? | Sep 10 02:06 |
| schestowitz | When talking about the necessity to find a worldwide solution for litigation, this is an alibi. How many patents are actually litigated worldwide? Probably a handful a year. May be two. The creation of a system like the UPC will only profit to either legal firms, or the big industry. So no wonder that Mr Augenstein is very keen on the UPC. Imagine the fees for a supranational litigation! That’s bingo. | Sep 10 02:06 |
| schestowitz | At least the truth about the usefulness of the UPC for SMEs has now come out: it is nil, contrary to what has been heralded by all the champions of the UPC, for instance the previous president of the EPO. The net result of the UPC is that the SMEs will be under an enormous pressure from the side of big industry, as they will never have pockets as deep as the latter. One can expect a war of attrition towards SMEs. | Sep 10 02:06 |
| schestowitz | This effect on SMEs, with on top about 2/3 of European patents granted to non-European applicants (official EPO figures), one wonders why on Earth the UPC was necessary for Europe? The few trans-EU litigations a year do not warrant such a monster like the UPC. I honestly do not see the advantages the UPC can bring about, certainly not for Europe. | Sep 10 02:06 |
| schestowitz | It has been said that the UPC is the revenge of the lawyers over patent representatives; I did not believe it when it came out, but the more time goes by, the more I have to agree. | Sep 10 02:06 |
| schestowitz | I personally hope that the UPC will never come into force, as this monster is by no means necessary to deal with possible problems, unless there is a wish to maximise profits. This only the case of lawyer firms and of big industry. | Sep 10 02:06 |
| schestowitz | The UPC is the result of intense lobbying by certain circles which pushed politicians to agree on something they could not understand, but looked good at a glance. The famous decision of the European Parliament about the non-patentability of software is a similar issue, i.e. the result of intense lobbying of anti-software patent groups. | Sep 10 02:06 |

| schestowitz | Attentive, I always read your stuff with interest. Here, I would confine my comment to one word you chose, namely “revenge” (of the attorneys at law, over the patent attorneys). I doubt they see it as revenge. I doubt the patent attorneys see it as revenge. Me, who started in the patent attorney profession before the EPO opened its doors for business in 1978, see the UPC thinking of the attorney at law community as simply (and | Sep 10 02:06 |
| schestowitz | understandably) the need to restore “service as usual” (after decades of inexplicable inability to corner the legal services market). | Sep 10 02:06 |
| schestowitz | What I mean is that the conduct of disputed proceedings at the EPO, with the fate of patent rights in up to 38 sovereign States at risk in one single opposition proceedings, inexplicably secure in the hands of patent attorney firms and NOT attorneys at law. Why? Because clients are not dumb. Rather, they are unsentimental, even ruthless. Simply, after the routine “beauty contest” phase, they place the commission in the hands of that | Sep 10 02:06 |
| schestowitz | firm which they think has the best chance of winning the case. And even now, the patent attorney firms are winning these beauty contests. | Sep 10 02:06 |
| schestowitz | What an outrageous affront to the dignity of the international law firms who see it as their unique privilege to handle such valuable cases. How must they feel when, after the ubiquitous “beauty contest” the client decides to entrust not them but, rather, a patent attorney firm, with the job of winning the core case at the EPO. Is it not this which is driving them on, to establish the UPC? | Sep 10 02:06 |
| schestowitz | Of course, one of their chief facilitators was the former President of the EPO. As to his motives, one can only speculate, but I doubt that it was to improve the efficiency of the prosecution of pan-European disputes as to the validity of a claim of a patent. The big thing is validity. The issue whether or not the claim is infringed is normally easier to settle without going all the way to a court of appeal. So, for the attorney at law | Sep 10 02:06 |
| schestowitz | profession, using the UPC to squeeze out the EPO is very important to their turnover and profit figures. | Sep 10 02:06 |

| schestowitz | The Faeroe Islands and Greenland are self-governing (autonomous) territories within the Kingdom of Denmark. The two territories have ceded from the European Union and therefore cannot become members of the UPC. Further, they are also not signatories to the EPC. Patent protection for the territories can only be obtained via a national Danish patent application. | Sep 10 02:07 |

It is probably not a very important core article, but I cannot see how the agreement including this article can come into force in the UK if the UK leaves the EU. To me it looks like the agreement needs to be amended to remove or change this provision, which probably means that it needs to be ratified again by all members. | Sep 10 02:08 |

| -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-ipkitten.blogspot.com | Swedish Patents and Market Court of Appeal requests CJEU to clarify concept of “public” in new CJEU reference - The IPKat | Sep 10 02:10 | |
| schestowitz | " | Sep 10 02:10 |
| schestowitz | Since any court dealing with a claim of infringement must be able to see the work which is the subject of the claim, and this necessarily means that a copy or copies must be made to allow this to happen, I would be amazed if the CJEU found that making copies available to the court for strictly judicial purposes involved any kind of public either in terms of Articles 2, 3 or 4. To find otherwise would lead to the absurd situation where a | Sep 10 02:10 |
| schestowitz | court would need to seek the permission of the right holder before it could hear a claim. In other words a right granted by the State was so powerful it rendered the State powerless carry out effective judicial oversight. | Sep 10 02:10 |
| schestowitz | The fact that it has never been necessary to spell this out in statute points to the obviousness of the answer. Once the CJEU make it clear that the legal process stands above such matters, the second part, ie whether the wider public beyond the court may lawfully see the copies which are the subject of the proceedings, falls squarely to be addressed by Art 5(3)(e) of the InfoSoc Directive, meaning that the making available issue is a | Sep 10 02:10 |
| schestowitz | legal exception. As for the fact that Article 4 is not covered by the Article 5 exceptions, I have always thought this was an absurd situation given the enormous overlap between Articles 3 and 4, especially where the internet is concerned. I rather expect the CJEU to duck that point because if it tries to address it head on it will dig a bear-trap for itself which will make the messy current situation over linking with and without | Sep 10 02:10 |
| schestowitz | authorisation look like a mere trifle. | Sep 10 02:10 |
| schestowitz | Yet another reason why, instead of getting bogged down with the Digital Single Market, the Commission would have been far better occupied coming up with a new InfoSoc Directive which was fit for the current digital world, and didn't require the CJEU to spend much of its time making up new law. | Sep 10 02:10 |

| -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-ipkitten.blogspot.com | AG Szpunar advises CJEU to rule that internet downloads of ebooks are covered by right of communication to the public, not distribution (so, no, there is no digital exhaustion under InfoSoc Directive) - The IPKat | Sep 10 20:08 | |
| schestowitz | " | Sep 10 20:08 |
| schestowitz | Readers of this blog are either lawyers or individuals who are interested in and informed about IP law, and so they can follow and evaluate the AG's reasoning. However none of this adds any real clarity to the law on copyright. On the contrary it just makes the inadvertent breaking of the law more likely. | Sep 10 20:08 |
| schestowitz | The EU has already expanded the aegis of many forms of IP way beyond what most other non-EU states have been willing to countenance, (database right, design right, GIs, publication right, link taxes and so on) and when it comes to the hair-splitting over what is communication to the public, what is distribution and what is reproduction, it is in a class of its own. Yes, theoretically other signatories to the WIPO Copyright Act are also | Sep 10 20:08 |
| schestowitz | supposed to recognise such things, but in pratice only the EU has done anything concrete to reflect these nuances within statute law. | Sep 10 20:08 |
| schestowitz | Since almost everyone in the world, and all of those who have access to the internet, need to have a basic understanding of copyright in the digital space, these arcane and highly academic analyses of the law are exceptionally unhelpful. Since ignorance of the law will become widespread, the extent to which it is currrently flouted or ignored will only increase. How is the average person posting a homemade video on Youtube supposed to | Sep 10 20:08 |
| schestowitz | work out if they are making it available to the public or distributing it? Some law, say like company law or maritime law, can get away with being complicated and the preserve of lawyers, but copyright law must be at all times accessible to the public, because the public employ it everyday, and can't be expected to know the latest cleverly-argued piece of jurisprudence from the CLEU to know whether or not they are infringing someone else' | Sep 10 20:08 |
| schestowitz | s rights. | Sep 10 20:08 |
| schestowitz | After nearly 20 years and a constant stream of referrals to the CJEU, we should not still be having to second-guess what the InfoSoc Directive does and doesn't mean. | Sep 10 20:08 |
