Overall a good piece but falls into the trap that USA should have finished the job in late 2001-2002 by not focusing on Iraq.

schestowitz

What job? By then a secret pact was signed with #Talibans to disband and return home.

What happened thereafter the fault of the Americans.

I do not want to repeat what I have said in a parallel thread, but it is not by dodging the problem created by the mention of London in Art 7(2) UPCA that the UPC will be working on solid legal foundations.

schestowitz

The problem is serious and cannot be ignored!

schestowitz

I have not yet seen a convincing and compelling argument allowing to ignore London in Art 7(2) UPCA.

schestowitz

I am even surprised that lawyers can seriously envisage the “provisional” transfer of the duties allotted to London to Paris and/or Munich.

The whole communique of the UPC Preparatory Committee looks more like wishful thinking than looking at the reality created by the Brexit. As long as this reality has not been duly and correctly faced and the necessary legal steps not taken, it does not appear reasonable to decide anything for the owner of a European patent than a systematic op-out.

If the UPC goes nevertheless on the road with all this problems, I fear that other complaints will be formulated, either before the CJEU or before national constitutional courts.

schestowitz

It would have been much better to ask the CJEU to give its opinion on the UPCA as it had been requested for EPLA.

schestowitz

Even if the proponents of the UPCA were reluctant before Brexit, the new situation created by Brexit should have led to a request for opinion by the CJEU on the UPCA as it stands. It is difficult to understand why this has not been done.

schestowitz

Trying to go through a brick wall, can hurt very badly.

Event: I am looking forward to presenting a new project at the annual BYU Copyright Symposium on Thursday, August 19, 2021. The event is online and free, but you must register first. My co-author and co-presenter is Dr. Homayoon Rafatijo who has been a Chemistry professor and also finishing his JD this semester. Our paper criticizes the Supreme Court’s sovereign immunity decision in Allen v. Cooper (2020), looking primarily at constitutional

history issues. [Symposium Home] [Schedule]. I believe that folks who register have access to the paper. We’ll distribute more publicly after incorporating some feedback from the event.

Publication Opportunity: I have been newly appointed as the advisor for Mizzou Law’s business law journal: the Business, Entrepreneurship & Tax Review (BETR). I have an essay coming out in the next issue on the topic of inventorship attribution and reattribution. The staff is looking for one more outside article this Fall. They prefer shorter articles (~20 pages) written and footnoted in law review style. Submit here: mulawbetr@missouri.
