The system is expected to be up and running by the second half of 2022 or the start of 2023. It remains to be seen how the member states of the Unitary Patent Court will deal with the various outstanding issues.

[07:35] schestowitz-TR already managed to get rid of 'sarin gas' along with some of the BS she had introduced [07:35] schestowitz-TR like using a timetracker (akin to timesheet) [07:40] Techrights-sec timetrackers are counterproductive [07:43] schestowitz-TR from memory (we phased this out twice in the past): [07:43] schestowitz-TR 1. loss of productivity [07:43] schestowitz-TR 2. loss of concentratiop [07:43] schestowitz-TR 3. instead foi you doing what you actually need to do [07:43] schestowitz-TR you begin to 'optimise' work based on what helps "look" good [07:43] schestowitz-TR iow, gaming the system [07:43] schestowitz-TR so fradulent time "shits" [sic] [07:43] schestowitz-TR that actively harm the service [07:43] schestowitz-TR and make workers less hapoppy [07:50] Techrights-sec those are the unspoken goals :( [07:50] Techrights-sec those that are best about lying about their hours have the "best" time sheets.
