schestowitz__JANUARY 16, 2021 AT 10:37 PMJan 18 14:24
schestowitz__Some more comments:Jan 18 14:24
schestowitz__The Luxembourg convention of 1975 was dead-borne for two reasonsJan 18 14:24
schestowitz__– the language problem;Jan 18 14:24
schestowitz__– the fear of forum shopping.Jan 18 14:24
schestowitz__I am inclined to think that the UPC actually suffers the same problems, May be to a lesser extent, but still.Jan 18 14:24
schestowitz__The forum can be chosen by the complainant applying for infringement.Jan 18 14:24
schestowitz__Only before the Central Division the procedure can be held in the language in which the patent has been granted.Jan 18 14:24
schestowitz__Whether before a local/regional court or before the Central Division, should interpretation be needed, the costs will be borne by the losing party.Jan 18 14:24
schestowitz__How many SMEs will afford to take the risk and counter-claim for revocation or even start an action for revocation or non-infringement before the UPC? Even if the financial means of the parties are duly taken into account, a SME will have difficulties.Jan 18 14:24
schestowitz__But all the pro-UPC lobbyists, helped with some governments and the European commission, promise a wonderful world, especially for European SMEs.Jan 18 14:24
schestowitz__Yes, it will be a wonderful world for the purse of big litigation firms and for the big industry but certainly not for European SMEs.Jan 18 14:24
schestowitz__.Jan 18 14:24
schestowitz__There are many more problems with the UPC, but Art 7(2) and the language mess should be sufficient to give it a death knell.Jan 18 14:25
schestowitz__Just one more piece of information:Jan 18 14:25
schestowitz__According to Art 48(4) UPCA representatives of the parties may be assisted by “patent attorneys”, who shall be allowed to speak at hearings of the Court in accordance with the Rules of Procedure.Jan 18 14:25
schestowitz__What do the rules of procedure say?Jan 18 14:25
schestowitz__According to R 287(7) UPC the expression “patent attorney” also includes professional representatives before the EPO pursuant to Art 134 (1) EPCJan 18 14:25
schestowitz__However, according to R 292(3) UPCA the “patent attorneys” shall be allowed to speak at hearings of the Court at the discretion of the Court and subject to the representative’s responsibility to coordinate the presentation of a party’s case.Jan 18 14:25
schestowitz__In other words, the rules of procedure have been drafted so that the “patent attorneys” may at best have a position similar to that of accompanying persons in the meaning of G 4/95 before the EPO, i.e. they have no procedural right to speak before the Court.Jan 18 14:25
schestowitz__If it was the intention of the legislator to also allow, albeit under certain conditions, representatives underJan 18 14:25
schestowitz__Art 134 EPC, to address the UPC, this intention is counteracted by the rules of procedure of the UPC. And who drafted those rules of procedure?Jan 18 14:25
schestowitz__One way out could be to consider those “patent attorneys” as expert of a party under R 181 UPCA as they certainly will know more about technique than all the lawyers allowed to speak.Jan 18 14:25
schestowitz__It is high time to open the eyes to all those who have been gullible to the waffling of the pro-UPC lobbyists.Jan 18 14:25
schestowitz__I am for European integration, but not for an integration governed by lobbies. And I do not care if some people think I am naïve. ´Jan 18 14:25
schestowitz__AgadirJan 18 14:25
schestowitz__JANUARY 18, 2021 AT 8:19 AMJan 18 14:25
schestowitz__Dear concerned observer, I would not be surprised if the whole “Federal President/FCC mechanism” and “only partially upheld” shenanigans were a deliberate attempt by certain circles to divert the public’s attention away from the real issues and make them concentrate their energy on aspects were it can do no harm to certain interests.Jan 18 14:25
schestowitz__The “Federal President/FCC mechanism” has been and is now again being made a pseudo-issue by one single commentator here, recently joined by a passenger from the pro-UPC band wagon. It is not difficult to add one and one and see through this charade. You have correctly pointed out that said long-standing mechanism, its basis and constitutional background have long been explained in detail elsewhere.Jan 18 14:25
schestowitz__It is absolutely stunning to watch how even some of the most seasoned and versed commentators hereJan 18 14:25
schestowitz__are easily triggered into an ultimately futile discussion.Jan 18 14:25

schestowitz__[15:28] <xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> perhaps i kind of overstated when i said xxxxx was "forced out" by xxxxJan 18 22:00
schestowitz__[15:28] <xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> it was in the 2020, and xxxxx said something along the lines of...Jan 18 22:00
schestowitz__[15:29] <xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> (paraphrased) "if there's a conflict of interest between being the president of the conservancy, and being a board member of the FSF, then perhaps you should leave either the conservancy or the FSF"Jan 18 22:00

schestowitz__[15:30] <xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> xxxx made a blog post and resigned from the xxxx boardJan 18 22:00
schestowitz__[15:40] <xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> if xxxxxx starts probing me about how i know this, i will lie that i just heard it from someoneJan 18 22:02
schestowitz__[15:41] <xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> what i said was kind of inaccurate, xxxxxx wasn't forced out, he was given a choiceJan 18 22:02
schestowitz__[15:42] <xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> he could have left the xxxx insteadJan 18 22:02

schestowitz__[15:46] <xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> this is basically xxxxx's response to the voting members insisting that he take a side, about 5 days laterJan 18 22:02
schestowitz__[15:46] <xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> probably he also sent an internal notice quitting from the board and as a voting memberJan 18 22:02
