| Techrights-sec | at about 29 minutes, RMS begins to discuss sw patents | Sep 22 08:11 |
|---|---|---|
| Techrights-sec | at about 56 minutes he gets to the Q&A | Sep 22 08:11 |
| Techrights-sec | overall I think it's an improvement that the background information is | Sep 22 08:11 |
| Techrights-sec | covered by the 14-minute TED video. Most people are already at least partially | Sep 22 08:11 |
| Techrights-sec | familiar with it. | Sep 22 08:11 |
| schestowitz | there was a bit of a powwow about it in irc | Sep 22 08:11 |
| Techrights-sec | It's equinox already, today. | Sep 22 08:31 |
| schestowitz-TR | oh, yeah, I could sense today was a special day but did not recall why | Sep 22 08:32 |
| Techrights-sec | AFAIK the vaccines reduce the symptoms in the vaccinated but do not prevent | Sep 22 10:04 |
| Techrights-sec | them from spreadingit onwards, that is not the most ideal situation | Sep 22 10:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | it is tempting to say, that's what happens when you do things in a great hurry | Sep 22 10:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | btw, the full RMS talk was requested 3.2k times in the past 20 hours, well worth the effort! extra audience for the angry dude. | Sep 22 10:09 |
| Techrights-sec | Excellent. Once he got going, the talk was rather good. He has a | Sep 22 10:14 |
| Techrights-sec | newer way of covering the old topics. The Q&A was the better part, though. | Sep 22 10:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | unless you are new to him, in which case all the talk is new information. I've scanned for "ukraine"; seems that for the whole lot it's 4.5k views. | Sep 22 10:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | to be clear though, I very rarely check traffic like this, but in this case b/w consumption was off the chart, so I got curious | Sep 22 10:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | we have attempted to contact meduza by numerous means; they don't reply | Sep 22 10:21 |
| schestowitz-TR | absolutely terrible time to be off the (RSS) grid with election and protests | Sep 22 10:21 |
| Techrights-sec | I wrote to them at the end of August and have not gotten a response. | Sep 22 10:22 |
| Techrights-sec | I think I wrote to them before that, too, and have no response yet. | Sep 22 10:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | I have tried birdsite, which is clobbering users at the moment | Sep 22 10:22 |
| schestowitz | tl;dr I also checked the tuxmachines accounts. Same thing. Impression suddenly halved, they're basically now showing to "followers" what they subscribed for. Theory needs proving somehow. http://techrights.org/2021/09/14/hiding-tweets/ | Sep 22 10:25 |

| Techrights-sec | just not that it has gotten to the 'kinetic' stage yet. | Sep 22 12:44 |

| Techrights-sec | In which context? I have not followed it of late but it is a very populated | Sep 22 12:45 |
| Techrights-sec | region. There's a lot of cover up and misdirection about most aspects of | Sep 22 12:45 |
| Techrights-sec | anything within the borders. | Sep 22 12:45 |
| schestowitz-TR | rianne's father, a manager at a chemical plant, reckons that this coronavirus strain was optimised in the lab | Sep 22 12:47 |
| Techrights-sec | Yes, but there is so much noise that it is hard for the authorities to properly | Sep 22 12:50 |
| Techrights-sec | investigate. Then there is the traditional obstinacy from the CCP. | Sep 22 12:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | like with 9/11, k00ks have poisoned the well. so cpp blames "cia", some blame "market", and people conflate intentional leak with accidential (which at the end does not matter; the outcome is what it is) | Sep 22 12:51 |
| Techrights-sec | IMO much of that poisoning is semi-intentional. The kooks are kooks, but | Sep 22 13:01 |
| Techrights-sec | various interests benefit from firing the up extra hot and winding them | Sep 22 13:01 |
| Techrights-sec | up further against specific targets so as to discredit any discussion of | Sep 22 13:01 |
| Techrights-sec | the topic. Voting fraud machines is one such example out of many. | Sep 22 13:01 |
| Techrights-sec | There was an artice about that specifically in the daily links recently, | Sep 22 13:01 |

| -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-ipkitten.blogspot.com | The Unified Patent Court. Do we finally have a predictable timeline? - The IPKat | Sep 22 16:13 | |
| schestowitz | " | Sep 22 16:13 |
| schestowitz | In the last para of #8, Attentive nails it. If the goal is to harmonise within the EU the jurisprudence on patent validity (and infringement) there are better ways to do it than the UPC as presently set up. Better because they build on the world's best body of jurisprudence on patent validity, namely the established case law of the Boards of Appeal of the EPO. Industry is always reminding us of its need for "certainty" when contemplating further | Sep 22 16:13 |
| schestowitz | rounds of investment in technological innovation. For industry, litigation is therefore to be deprecated, to be seen as a last resort, a damper on investment in new technology. The litigators would like to see more uncertainty, thereby to generate more litigation, earlier, a first rather than a last resort. Now ask: which group of people is driving hardest for the UPC? Could it be those who make money out of patent litigation? | Sep 22 16:13 |
| schestowitz | Of course, lawyers in Paris and London consider themselves to be unfairly treated, when all the business of the EPO Boards of Appeal is conducted in Munich. One has to ask to what extent the efforts to hobble and neuter the Boards are made by persons with greater loyalty to Paris and London than to the industries who crave certainty in matters of patent validity. London is the world's epicentee for rent-seeking, for something called Rentier | Sep 22 16:13 |
| schestowitz | Capitalism. Who remembers what Prime Minister Johnson's rallying cry in his last election campaign "F*ck Business"? | Sep 22 16:13 |
| schestowitz | Come on, all you readers who want to see more technological innovation in Europe. Let's take the opportunity given by BREXIT to build something better than the flawed UPC. Give the job to ta committee of three EU Member States other than France and Germany. I suggest the Republic of Ireland (English law, computer-implemented inventions, medical technology), The Netherlands (pre-eminent in patent litigation, technologically vibrant) and a country | Sep 22 16:13 |
| schestowitz | south of the Alps, perhaps Italy. | Sep 22 16:13 |
| schestowitz | " | Sep 22 16:13 |
| schestowitz | " | Sep 22 16:15 |
| schestowitz | For EPLA, its promoters asked the opinion of CJEU. We all know the result: not conform to Union law, cf. C 1/09. And EPLA was dead. | Sep 22 16:15 |
| schestowitz | EPLA's promoters became UPCA's promoters. It has been claimed all along that the UPCA is in conformity with Union law, but this has never been tested. | Sep 22 16:15 |
| schestowitz | If the UPCA was so clearly conform to Union law, why was the CJEU never asked its opinion about it? The question thus remains: were the UPC/UPCA promoters frighten that the CJEU would not give a positive answer? | Sep 22 16:15 |
| schestowitz | In the UPCA as it stands, the problem of Art 7(2) UPCA has not been solved, as London is still mentioned as seat of one of the sections of the central division. In the annex to the UPC IPC classes A and C are meant to be dealt with in London. | Sep 22 16:15 |
| schestowitz | Looking at it objectively: a treaty relating to a Court accepting primacy of Union law, mentions a section located in a country which is not any longer member of the EU. How can such a treaty be in conformity to Union law? | Sep 22 16:15 |
| schestowitz | Up to now the solutions offered by the UPC’s promoters were characterised by a quite wild legal fantasy as the duties allocated to London should be “provisionally” distributed between Paris and Munich, in order to be later be allocated to another country. | Sep 22 16:15 |
| schestowitz | It is difficult to see any legal basis in such a bizarre arrangement. Neither Art 31 and 32 VCLT nor Art 87(2) can really be taken seriously as legal basis. To me this resemble more to Carpetbagger's discussions than a sound legal reasoning. Which IPC class should “provisionally go to Paris: A or C or vice-versa? | Sep 22 16:15 |
| schestowitz | If anybody tells me this is in conformity with Union law, I will have to burst out in laughter. If the notion of the rightful judge does have any value, and I believe in Europe it has a value, it is not possible that the hodgepodge thus created can be in conformity with Union law. | Sep 22 16:15 |
| schestowitz | There is another aspect in the UPCA which seems difficult to reconcile the UPCA with Union law. A judge who is dismissed by its peers according to Art 10 of the Statute of the court, which is part of the UPCA has no means of redress, not even to the CJEU. How can this be in accordance with Union law? | Sep 22 16:15 |
| schestowitz | I can only but agree with Max Drei: what is going on with the UPCA is in a sense criminal as only private interests are behind the fig leaf of an imperious necessity for Europe’s industry in general and SMEs in particular. | Sep 22 16:15 |
| schestowitz | I also agree with IPMouse, the only way to challenge the mess is to bring it in front of the CJEU one way or another. | Sep 22 16:15 |
| schestowitz | FOARP is right. The original idea of the UPC promoters was to bring it into force as quickly as possible and before everybody could have a careful look at it and realise what was going on. I see one positive effect to the Brexit: it stalled the entry into force of the UPC and might through Art 7(2) UPCA bring it to fail. | Sep 22 16:15 |
| schestowitz | The only correct way to deal with the problem posed by Brexit is to clarify the problem created by Art 7(2) before the UPC enters into force. | Sep 22 16:15 |
| schestowitz | But this means further delays, and by then the interest for the UPC will have gone. After all, the EU lived perfectly well for 50+ years without something like the UPC and creating such an institution in view of the very few transnational litigations a year is not worth it. | Sep 22 16:15 |
| schestowitz | There are other ways, much cheaper, to harmonise litigation within Europe and those ways can apply not only to the whole of the EU, but also to all member states of the EPC. | Sep 22 16:15 |
