| schestowitz | "Sounds reasonable. (Something that cannot be said of the UPC.)" | Aug 20 16:40 |
| -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-patentblog.kluweriplaw.com | Germany will not ratify UPCA as long as consequences Brexit are not known - Kluwer Patent Blog | Aug 20 16:41 | |
| schestowitz | " | Aug 20 16:41 |
| schestowitz | The position taken by the German government is very reasonable, and one can only approve the first comment. | Aug 20 16:41 |
| schestowitz | It should not be criticised as has been stated recently in Lexology which disclosed a rather worrying comment according to which the President of the Republic ought to swiftly sign the ratification act as it had been accepted by parliament. This is just one of the questions in the complaint before the German Federal Constitutional Court. It is really wise to await Brexit and the decision of the FGCC. | Aug 20 16:41 |
| schestowitz | But before a decision on the UPC is to be given, there are a few complaints about the EPO and the independence of its Boards of Appeal to be decided by the FGCC. | Aug 20 16:41 |
| schestowitz | One important question to be answered is: are the members of the Boards of Appeal truly independent or not? | Aug 20 16:41 |
| schestowitz | When one sees what happened with the member who was faced with the interdiction of entering the premises of the EPO and de facto relieving him of his duties is not encouraging. The more so in view of the pressure exerted to the Enlarged Board of Appeal who was bluntly asked to rubber stamp a decision of the President. The changes made to the Implementing Regulations of the EPO might have improved the “perception” of their independence, | Aug 20 16:41 |
| schestowitz | but not the actual independence. | Aug 20 16:41 |
| schestowitz | Another important aspect is the fact that members of the Boards of Appel are only appointed for a given period of time, and that the criterion for their reappointment are not public. In view of the changes introduced at the whim of the former president of the EPO, members can only be reappointed when they have shown an appropriate performance. What is considered an appropriate performance? Nobody knows. In the past there has never been a | Aug 20 16:41 |
| schestowitz | Board member which was not reappointed. | Aug 20 16:41 |
| schestowitz | In this respect it should be remembered that the same chamber of the GFCC had decided in 2018 that judges could be appointed for a given length of time, but under two conditions: they should be civil servants appointed for life and they cannot be reappointed. If the 2d chamber of the FGCC is not completely ignoring its own case law, one should expect a similar stance to be adopted in the case of the EPO and of the UPC, the only difference | Aug 20 16:41 |
| schestowitz | between the two being a different length of appointment (5 years at the EPO, 6 years at the UPC). At UPC as well, the criteria for reappointment are unknown. | Aug 20 16:41 |
| schestowitz | There is another problem with the UPC. According to Art 10 of the Statute, a UPC judge can be removed from duty by a decision of the Presidium of the UPC, but according to the same statute, there is no means of redress offered to a judge which has been removed from duty. I have strong doubts that in view of this provision alone the independence of a UPC judge is guaranteed. How could such a statute ever be ratified? | Aug 20 16:41 |
| schestowitz | Although not being in the UPC Agreement itself, but in the Rules of Procedure, which were not part of the ratification process, there is a provision called forced intervention. It means that a judgement of the UPC can be applicable to a third party which has not been heard during the actual procedure. A third party can be invited to intervene, can decline the invitation and still be subject to the measures decided by the UPC. I have | Aug 20 16:41 |
| schestowitz | doubts that such a measure is constitutional in a lot of contracting states of the UPC. | Aug 20 16:41 |
| schestowitz | In any case the RoP have been devised by a select club the members which were all co-opted. By pure coincidence the members of this select club are the most prominent supporters of the UPC and wish that it comes into force as soon as possible. I do not have to give names, they are well known in the profession. | Aug 20 16:41 |
| schestowitz | The more time goes by, the more it is not possible to refrain from thinking that the UPC had to be driven through at any rate and at any cost so that a “fait accompli” was created and there was no way back possible. | Aug 20 16:41 |
| schestowitz | May be one day we will be grateful for the Brexit and the complaint before the FGCC so that we were preserved from a piece of work which could show to be very harmful for Europe’s industry. As barely a third of the European patents stem from member states of the EU, it is easy to think who will be the prime beneficiaries of the UPC. Certainly not European industry and even less European SMEs, contrary to what is heralded here and there. | Aug 20 16:41 |

| schestowitz | while I agree with your analysis, your last demand is making my head hurt. | Aug 20 16:41 |
| schestowitz | While I’, no fan of the way techrights reports the EPO cases, I doubt you can request in the name of Kluwer to refrain from linking to the Kluwerblog. | Aug 20 16:41 |
| schestowitz | This is not how the Internet works. | Aug 20 16:41 |
| schestowitz | You can ask Techrights to not link to your reply, but you cannot in the name of others demand to not link to the blog as a whole, nor for the author to not link to a post. | Aug 20 16:41 |
| schestowitz | " | Aug 20 16:41 |
| schestowitz | " | Aug 20 16:42 |
| schestowitz | It is the behavior of Techrights which led to my position. It has happened that in order to circumvent my request not to be cited, the whole blog was linked. | Aug 20 16:42 |
| schestowitz | I understand your point an even agree with it, would it not be the pernicious way contributions are misused in order to bring his conspiration theories forward. | Aug 20 16:42 |
| schestowitz | I will nevertheless limit my interdiction to my own comments. | Aug 20 16:42 |
| schestowitz | It is not that Techrights does not sometimes have good information to tell, but it is always clad in such a way, that the form negates the effect of the information given. | Aug 20 16:42 |
| schestowitz | We do not need a constant rant against the EPO granting patents against the EPC. The more since it is not the case! | Aug 20 16:42 |
| schestowitz | That the UPC is not really good for Europe is a matter of fact, but not for those who thought the could fill their pockets. But the way this question is dealt with by Techrights is not the best way. | Aug 20 16:42 |
| schestowitz | " | Aug 20 16:42 |
| schestowitz | "I think that this means that the UPCA in its current form is dead. I would have liked to see it starting ASAP as we need this if we are serious about European integration. Maybe the next try to achieve this should start from the EU and use the existing European judical branch as a basis. It seems easier to add a “EU Patent Senate/Chamber” to the CJEU etc ,as it appears that they are all well within the member states’ constitutions. | Aug 20 16:42 |
| schestowitz | Further benefit is that this court could also deal with design and trademark matters." | Aug 20 16:42 |
| schestowitz | " | Aug 20 16:42 |
| schestowitz | I wonder where Peter Parker’s tongue was, relative to his cheek, when he wrote that comment. Once the perennially odd-man-out, English-law UK has departed the civil-law EU, and notwithstanding the ongoing membership of the Republic of Ireland, the way will be clear for all sorts of fresh initiatives to reform supra-national EU law. | Aug 20 16:42 |
| schestowitz | But whether that could lead to the CJEU hearing appeals on the substantive law of patent validity, I have no idea. Given its efforts on the law of trademarks within the EU, I’m not sure anyway that it would be a good thing. Me, I prefer the friendly competition between the Judges of GB, NL and DE, when it comes to interpreting the legal provisions of the EPC. That’s the better way to raise quality, in my opinion. | Aug 20 16:42 |
