schestowitzA post-grant correction is only possible under R 139 or R 140 and G 1/10. However both are not applicable in the present situationOct 17 02:50
schestowitzFor R 139, there is no error in a document filed with the EPO. For R 140 and G 1/10, there is no reason to correct the text of the patent. In G 1/10, the EBA insisted on the fact that after having approved the text intended for grant, the applicant bears the full responsibility for any error which has not been spotted at the moment he gives his approval. Oct 17 02:50
-TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-ipkitten.blogspot.com | When is the “text-intended for grant” not intended for grant? (T 1003/19) - The IPKatOct 17 02:50
schestowitzT 1003/19 is not the only decision in this respect. There is also T 2081/16.Oct 17 02:50
schestowitzThe important lesson to be kept is that checking the documents received with a communication under R 71(3) is a duty of the applicant/representative which should not be taken lightly. Oct 17 02:50
schestowitzI refer to Point 5.5 of the reasons:Oct 17 02:50
schestowitz- 5.5 The fact that a narrow interpretation of Rule 71(3) and (5) EPC as proposed by this board and by the board in decision T 2081/16 (see section 2.4. above) allows for an appeal to be treated as admissible should not be misinterpreted as an invitation to neglect the applicant's duty to carefully check both the communication and the "Druckexemplar" sent to it under Rule 71(3) EPC.Oct 17 02:50
schestowitzIn both T 1003/19 and T 2081/16, the applicant realised immediately after the actual grant that something went wrong, and filed an appeal. The BA could also have decided that the appeal is not admissible, as there has been approval by the applicant. Oct 17 02:50
schestowitzOnce the patent has been granted, the possibility of filing a divisional application has gone, cf. R 36(1). Oct 17 02:50
schestowitzA limitation under Art 105a means clearly a limitation, but not the substitution of faulty documents for the correct ones. This possibility might thus only be working in exceptional circumstances, but cannot be a standard cure for any error which has not been spotted when receiving the communication under R 71(3).Oct 17 02:50
schestowitzIf the applicant realises much later that there is a mistake in the documents annexed to the communication under R 71(3), he is stuck, and has to live with a patent which is in the form approved by him, even if it does not correspond to any of the requests he has filed. Oct 17 02:50
schestowitzSending out the communication and mentioning some so-called “minor amendments” is a trick often employed by examiners in order to” twist the arm” of the applicant. By luring him into grant, he hopes to get read of the file and earn the points for the final action. Oct 17 02:50
schestowitzIn T 2346/15, the examiner in charge amended the independent claims in order for them to be clear, cf. comment **Art 84 in the communication under R 71(3), end of sheet 1, beginning of sheet 2. The amendments introduced were offending Art 123(2), but grant was decided. Oct 17 02:50
schestowitzThat the wrong documents may be quoted in the communication under R 71(3) has certainly to do with the haste in which the examiner in charge has to gain his “points”, but it also shows that three member divisions only exist on the paper, as the checking of the documents proposed to grant is the main duty of the second examiner of the examining division. For that work, and the work of chairman of an examining division, no points are Oct 17 02:50

schestowitzEric S Raymonds jargon file includes the term ‘wanking’ to mean hacking for the sake of it, but also highlights that that term has a different meaning in commonwealth slang.

schestowitzAs long as the actual president will keep in place his chef de cabinet and the head of HR he will not regain confidence of staff whatever he might claim to do. Those two people have been put in place by his predecessor. Especially the head of HR has acted in a way which cannot be considered as being correct.Oct 17 17:05
schestowitzSending to the AC a heavily biased financial study, is also not fostering trust in the administration. Deciding that the fees will not increase for a large number of years is simply showing a lack of respect for the people working at the EPO as the immediate reflex of the AC will be to cut salaries and pensions.Oct 17 17:05

schestowitzAlthough it is foreseen that contracting states should compensate for any hole in the budget, they want anything but to have to do so, cf. Art 37(c) EPC. That’s why the first president of the EPO has created the pension fund.Oct 17 17:05
schestowitzIt reminds of the beginning of Mrs Brimelow’s presidency were she considered that the EPO was broke. This was shown later a being a gross exaggeration. The same will happen with the new financial study.Oct 17 17:05
schestowitzOne thing is clear is that the EPO is not any longer an attractive employer. The EPO experiences difficulties getting good staff. Who wants to leave his country of origin to act as a mercenary with a five years contract, but this going on a par with full severance of any national security scheme, be it for health care or pensions. Certainly not with a family and children, i.e. for people having some professional experience. Filling posts Oct 17 17:05

schestowitzi made a lot of points (some were repeats) on why roy should just give up on mozilla already.Oct 17 19:48
schestowitzits not an easy thing to do-- people end up using a browser they have no faith in. i still think that its better to use a free software browser you dont believe than to switch to one that isnt free (i certainly dont believe in any non-free browsers, i havent in over a decade) but believing in mozilla in this day and age comes down to unjustified (misplaced) faith. wishful thinking is fine, use wishful thinking when youre trying to change Oct 17 19:48

schestowitzi was not a sjw for very long. nor did i ever set out to be one. i found better things to do, better causes, and realised looking back that for a little while, i was one of “those people.” i know what theyre doing to rms, because it was done to eich and to others. the eich thing wasnt a sustained campaign, i may have written a short email or a couple of short social media posts. (youre forgiven if youre sceptical that either was short,Oct 17 19:49
schestowitz too.) but eich was the integrity of that organisation. without him, it just turned to shit. more people need to understand this.Oct 17 19:49
schestowitzits possible of course, that they got rid of other key people. but if they did im unaware of it. alex limi was not one of those people. he is a festering sore that continues to haunt the browser even though hes no longer part of its development. and his post about his “contribution” is pure propaganda. just look at this shit: https://limi.net/checkboxes these are the sorts of people that mozilla keeps on, while they fire the good ones.Oct 17 19:49
