| schestowitz | > while some people skirt the exceptions about violence, others skirt the fact that the constitution makes laws that hurt free speech into illegal, invalid laws. i think historically, when you destroy free speech, it has never had the effect of decreasing violence. it has always led to either a revolution, or to a government that steps up violence against citizens, who can say nothing. | May 16 00:32 |
| schestowitz | > | May 16 00:32 |
| schestowitz | > this rhetoric against free speech is-- theoretically, historically, practically more dangerous than anything. but most people wont think of it that way. theyll think of short term effects, and exceptions over the (more enlightened) rule. and thats how free speech dies-- and with it, a free press. good luck. | May 16 00:32 |
| schestowitz | I agree with almost all the points here. I also think it merits an article because we're going to have to discuss this more and more in the coming years. | May 16 00:32 |

| schestowitz | "Certainly no stupid question, and you are correct that Villa Crop’s argument on validity includes the plea is that the 2005 patent lacks novelty over Bayer’s own prior disclosures (the 1997 patent and the SPC). Villa Crop argues both lack of novelty and “unclean hands”. The benefit in the unclean hands argument lies therein that it is raised as a point in limine. In other words, should it succeed, the doors of court close | May 16 03:48 |
| schestowitz | for Bayer and there is no need to go into enquiries about validity. The trial could in that way, be significantly shortened. The two enquiries are different. In limine, it is simply whether Bayer made statements in support of its SPCs which are destructive of its allegation of validity of the 2005 patent. The novelty enquiry is, of course, a different matter." | May 16 03:48 |
