schestowitzThe decision might have been different had the case been tried in the US. Even if the designs were the result of the author’s own intellectual creation, that creativity may have been considered de minimis under US law. For example, the Review Board of the US Copyright Office recently affirmed a refusal to register the gold decorative design of a placemat consisting of concentric rows of U-shaped holes without discussing whether or not Aug 18 02:29
schestowitzit originated from the author’s own efforts: https://www.copyright.gov/rulings-filings/review-board/docs/bellagio-pressed-vinyl-placemat.pdf. Under US copyright law, a mere simplistic arrangement of non-protectable elements does not demonstrate the level of creativity necessary to warrant protection, even if created by original thought.""Aug 18 02:29

schestowitzWe all know that good old saw "Cogito ergo sum". But that is only its second line. In full, it begins "Dubio ergo cogito". I doubt. And therefore I think.Aug 18 17:09
schestowitzDo machines "think"? Or do they merely generate permutations and then rank them according to some algorithm imposed on them from outside. Do they ever experience a moment of "doubt"? And, if not, does their number-crunching ever rise to the level of "thought"?Aug 18 17:09
schestowitzThe UK defines the inventor as the devisor. It seems to me that, without thought, you cannot be said to be "devising". If machines have no doubts they have no thoughts. And if they have no thoughts they can't devise anything.Aug 18 17:09
schestowitzSo, can machines invent? Personally, I doubt it.Aug 18 17:09

schestowitz"Aug 18 17:10
schestowitzSome observations.Aug 18 17:10
schestowitz* The authorship of computer-generated works is also addressed in Section 9(3) of the UK's Copyright &c Act 1988.Aug 18 17:10
schestowitzPresumably some textual matter will be produced in the course of developing the AI, or will be generated by the AI program itself, and this will consist of a literary work for copyright act purposes. In the absence of an agreement to the contrary, the copyright in such material will belong to the person or persons referred to in the above Section 9(3). As such persons own the copyright in such matter, it is prima facie correct for the Aug 18 17:10
schestowitzteam to be entitled to be the authors of any patentable inventions it contains. Aug 18 17:10
schestowitzHowever, an author only has the "first ownership" of copyright. If the author is an employee, and the work is made in the course of employment, then the employer owns the copyright (CDPA 1988 section 10). So if Dr. Thaler was the employer of the persons who did the programming, then prima facie he would own the copyright. On the other hand, if he was not their employer, then copyright would prima facie belong to whoever was their employer,Aug 18 17:10
schestowitz unless there was an explicit agreement to the contrary. I believe that such agreements are used in academia.Aug 18 17:10
schestowitz* While the inventors must be identified as part of the filing formalities, the UKIPO already has discretion to allow all their details to be removed prior to publication, provided that satisfactory reasons are given. However, as the request must be made by the inventor, it would be necessary for the computer to be able to make the request!Aug 18 17:10
schestowitz* Which raises another point. I have been retired for some years now, but it used to be a feature of US patent law that the inventors had to sign an oath and declaration that they had read and understood the patent application. I wonder how this procedural step is to be carried out if one of the inventors is a machine? Or has US patent law changed to remove this requirement? I note that notes available on the USPTO web site relating to Aug 18 17:10
schestowitzfiling a US patent state "In case an inventor is legally incapacitated, the legal representative (guardian, conservator, etc.) of such inventor may make the necessary oath or declaration, and apply for and obtain the patent. ", indicating that a signed oath and declaration is still essential. Assigning the rights to the invention from the inventor to someone (such as an employer) entitled to the rights in the invention would also involve Aug 18 17:10
schestowitzthe signing of an assignment. Aug 18 17:10
schestowitz* Regarding the "moral justification for patent by allowing individuals to take credit for work they have not done", it may be recalled that, when local novelty was a feature of the patent law of the UK (and other countries), it was possible to get a "patent of importation" for inventions made by someone else in another country, if details of that invention had not been known in the UK. Aug 18 17:10
schestowitz* Max Drei's comments are noted, however, according to the UPIPO MPP, para 3.32, the contents of patents are not necessarily part of common general knowledge for inventive step purposes under UK law. Aug 18 17:10
schestowitz3.32 A much longer passage from the speech by Sachs LJ in General Tire & Rubber Co v Firestone Tyre & Rubber Co Ltd [1972] RPC 457 is of particular interest because it sets out the relationship of patent specifications to the common general knowledge ("it is clear that individual patent specifications and their contents do not normally form part of the relevant common general knowledge"). It also sets out the relationship of scientific Aug 18 17:10
schestowitzjournals and papers to the common general knowledge ("it is not sufficient to prove common general knowledge that a particular disclosure is made in an article, or series of articles, in a scientific journal"). Aug 18 17:10

schestowitz>> Credit is fine. Makes sense, esp. if it's not by a pseudonym.Aug 18 18:17
schestowitz> what im really nudging this towards is people using the free media alliance as a de facto standard, like free software-- the way the standard is kept is by people representing it-- not by lawyers protecting a trademark.Aug 18 18:17
schestowitz> Aug 18 18:17
schestowitz> the fsf has done a better job of this than osi-- but osi didnt just have their trademark made generic, they failed to represent anything themselves. perens talks about the trademark issue in his letter, but i think the lack of integrity for osi is worse.Aug 18 18:17
schestowitz> Aug 18 18:17
schestowitz> obviously as the founder i am in charge of steering, but what i want to do with that is not drag people behind me in tow, i want to teach them to drive. not all will have that interest level, but the opportunity is extended to everyone.Aug 18 18:17
schestowitz> Aug 18 18:17
schestowitz> so there is a sort of leadership, but its a de facto leadership, its less hierarchical-- not because im against the hierarchy for its own sake-- im against the single point of failure that the fsf has.Aug 18 18:17
schestowitz> Aug 18 18:17
schestowitz> when stallman goes, it wont be up to him what the fsf is anymore. mores the pity. it will be up to everyone else. but just as likely it will be up to people who arent pulling the weight, and they dont extend the invitation to everyone else to drive.Aug 18 18:17
schestowitz> Aug 18 18:18

schestowitz> Aug 18 18:18
schestowitz> and my other job is to look for other people who can do that too. everyone is a shareholder, freedom is something natural, and all a corporation (including a non-profit) can do is repackage it.Aug 18 18:18

schestowitzRe: Conspiracy Theory> Microsoft is just as guilty as Google with regard to employee intimidation/retaliation and toxic cultures. I wonder if they’re sponsoring the presses vendetta against google at the moment, because their names aren’t being mentioned in any of these articles.Aug 18 18:56

schestowitzThat's the dangerous scenario.Aug 18 19:02
schestowitzI'm always careful and if it 'feels' like someone else (you) are on the server, I then step aside. Sometimes I would not touch the DB until after some minutes of it online and running (the site). This way I know you'll notice it's accessible over ssh and http and thus won't attempt to reboot.Aug 18 19:02
schestowitzLet's make a sort of rule unless/until there's a locking mechanism; only work on the DB after 5 minutes of uptime, always check the VM is still offline before rebooting it. This way the risk is reduced.Aug 18 19:02
