| schestowitz | It is not the first time that the US plead for a grace period. They have tried it in the past at WIPO level, but without success. They are thus bound to try it at every possible opportunity, like the present one. If the UK accepts this, then there will not only be a Brexit from the EU, but also a Brexit from the EPO. | Nov 30 04:42 |
| schestowitz | It is pretty obvious why the US want the UK to stay in the UPC. They would have a bridgehead in Europe with no linguistic problems, this being the more so since the London Section of the Central UPC division would be dealing with pharmaceuticals. | Nov 30 04:42 |
| schestowitz | As the US count for roughly a quarter of the European filings, and filings from the EU barely a third of the European filings, they could thus heavily influence the European market. | Nov 30 04:42 |

| schestowitz | One should not forget that the present problem of invalid priorities is a direct consequence of the peculiarities of US law. Why should the rest of the world change its mind just to please US applicants? | Nov 30 04:46 |
| schestowitz | Coming now with T 1933/12 is nothing more than an attempt to have the view of the Broad Institute taken over by the Board of Appeal. | Nov 30 04:46 |
| schestowitz | It is perfectly legitimate that the EPO, or a third party, checks whether the transfer of priority has been correctly carried out. The EPO is not just there to check whether there is identity of the invention for the priority to be validly claimed. Any applicant is not merely one of the group of the original co-applicants. | Nov 30 04:46 |
| -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-ipkitten.blogspot.com | Clarity is needed from the Boards of Appeal on the EPO's "co-applicant approach" to priority - The IPKat | Nov 30 04:46 | |
| schestowitz | If in a later application there is on top of the original co-applicants a further applicant claiming priority from an earlier application, it is in no way detrimental for the original co-applicants as they are still named as co-applicants. Furthermore, one can presume is such a situation that the original co-applicants have agreed to accept a further co-applicant in the subsequent application. | Nov 30 04:46 |
| schestowitz | But for the same token the EPO could also check whether the new co-applicant had the agreement of the original ones. This would put co-applicants and subsequent applicants not comprising all the original co-applicants on a par. | Nov 30 04:46 |

| schestowitz | this is not tribalism, its corporate culture. | Nov 30 05:14 |
| schestowitz | calling this “tribalism” is a throwback to “colonising” “savage” countries. im not in the least concerned about someone being offended by that, this isnt an appeal to political correctness (i can appreciate why it might sound like one) but calling this “tribalism” will backfire. | Nov 30 05:14 |
| schestowitz | we are more of a tribe than google or apple. and theres nothing wrong with that. when peta condemns fishermen (when there are gradually disappearing scandavian tribes who subsist on fish being driven out by the “march of progress”) thats colonialism, not tribalism. what big tech (including the linux foundation) is doing to the free software movement is also colonialism. i blame phipps for promoting this term to be synonymous with | Nov 30 05:14 |
| schestowitz | bigotry and insular unity (isolationism) though i know where he got it from as well. phipps is a corporate colonialist, using language to promote digital and corporate colonialism. borrowing his terminology only helps the people he works for. | Nov 30 05:14 |
| schestowitz | tribes have their own values. they fight more for defense and to warn others not to try to kill them off. | Nov 30 05:14 |
| schestowitz | colonialists impose their values on tribes (africans, indians, palestinians, native americans, maori) to make them “civilised.” they fight more for conquest. this is an important distinction that colonialists dont want people to be able to make. | Nov 30 05:14 |

| schestowitz | I can’t think of a better word to describe criminal, corporate loyalty. The word “tribe” is Latin and it meant a division, mostly arbitrary, of the Roman people. Greek city states did the same using their own words. Byzantine tribes represent the ultimate purpose of these artificial divisions and served the same role through the same mechanisms in their society as professional sports and other artificial divisions in our society | Nov 30 05:14 |
| schestowitz | today. It’s true that English speaking people used the word “tribe” to describe “savages” with all of the bite and reasoning that we should use for Microsoft - that the “savages” were lawless, constantly at war with each other for no good reason, and a danger to everyone around them. English speaking people were repulsed by the notion that it is OK to violate and kill based on tribe, even as they reveled in their own | Nov 30 05:14 |
| schestowitz | nationalism and were horrible to the people they subjected. Maybe the misapplication of the word is in describing groups of indigenous people as if their culture embodied all of these toxic English concepts? | Nov 30 05:14 |
| schestowitz | There is something very wrong with the cult Bill Gates created with Microsoft, which can be called tribal. Microsoft training tells every employee that their employment is for the exclusive and criminal benefit of the company. “It’s not about the tech, it’s not about the customers, it’s about Microsoft,” is the first line of one of their first lecture/slideshows. The training material goes on to tell employees in detail how to | Nov 30 05:14 |
| schestowitz | deceive and manipulate people for Microsoft’s benefit. I’ve read that the company is a mess internally because employees routinely betray each other, but betrayal of Microsoft management is not in any way tolerated. This is a criminal enterprise where the company has intentionally created a team that thinks it’s OK to violate anyone else as long as that advances the interest of the team. This can be described as a criminal | Nov 30 05:14 |
| schestowitz | conspiracy, but tribal fits better because the company continually recruits from the general population and tries to engender the same kind of thoughtless loyalty from other groups and companies. I’ve met people who have never worked for Microsoft who consider themselves “Microsoft people” and display more loyalty to Microsoft than their actual employer. | Nov 30 05:14 |
| schestowitz | I would not call the FSF or free culture movements tribal. People in the free software world might be tribal because people sometimes want to be that way, but deceiving and violating people is against everything the Free Software Foundation stands for. | Nov 30 05:14 |
| schestowitz | Apple marketing is strongly tribal and class dividing. Apple devices are an amazing example of conspicuous consumption. Minor differences in build and interface appearance are trumpeted by a shiny chrome logo that tells everyone that their $40 phone costs $400, and that the owner is a person of wealth and taste. The workmanship and materials are actually inferior to most phones on the market and the device has to be handled like a baby or | Nov 30 05:14 |
| schestowitz | it will suffer the cracked face most iPhones display. I don’t think Apple encourages their people to actively rob their neighbors like Microsoft does, but their appeal to class and pointless consumption are entirely harmful and cause pointless competition. Their goal of dominating users through non free software is entirely unethical. | Nov 30 05:14 |
| schestowitz | Google culture is different again, and I’m not sure I’d call it intentionally tribal. Google fans might have some of these bad thoughts, but I don’t see it in the company’s advertising or blogs. I still think the company’s leadership is trying to make a better world through organization of information. Their software is mostly free, and mostly non free because the rest of the world denies their customer’s freedom. Android | Nov 30 05:14 |
| schestowitz | would have gone nowhere had Google insisted on copyleft because phone companies demand complete dominance of users. Google engineers, like Yonatan Zunger, expressed deep concern about the misuse of the technology Google was making. | Nov 30 05:14 |

| schestowitz | theyre people, but theyre also “a people.” is that really a problem? to have an identity? | Nov 30 05:14 |
| schestowitz | remember, i think it is a colonialist move to strip the right of an identity to people. it has historical relevance-- such as when gaelic was banned as a language, as a means of taking over and suppressing a people. i think being “against tribalism” is extremely misguided and the benefits exaggerated. this is for a purpose. it is not for a good purpose, but it s presented as such. like i said before, thats what colonialism does-- it | Nov 30 05:14 |
| schestowitz | paints control and stripping basic rights (such as identity) from people, all in the name of some higher good (which just happens to be the purported agenda of every colonist-- lets give them medicine, culture, civilisation! while stripping them of everything else.) i think you should reconsider. but i cant make you. | Nov 30 05:14 |

| schestowitz | not only is it a great speechwriting trick to go over a few truisms before restating the point youre trying to prove, its bordering on a circular argument the way youre doing it. | Nov 30 05:15 |
| schestowitz | but your three examples might imply three accusations-- that i know a better way to pronounce something, that i dont consider context, and eventually, that i actually agree with the very point that i argued with. | Nov 30 05:15 |
| schestowitz | until we got into this debate, i thought you were a reasonable person. at the moment, there is no evidence of that. my hope is that im mistaken, though i hope its very clear that im less concerned what kind of person you are, than whether this monocultural nonsense being spouted goes unchallenged. | Nov 30 05:15 |
| schestowitz | dont throw accusations around and expect them to be ignored outright. the only thing ive accused you of until now is making a poor argument, but if you want to get personal, that isnt off the table. | Nov 30 05:15 |

| schestowitz | You might think that if all you read was Vice, the Salem G fire everyone memo, and the Software Freedom Conservancy hit piece and held some kind of grudge against RMS.

| schestowitz | "I’ll give you a personal take. By my reckoning, I worked for RMS longer than any other programmer. … I can confirm the unfortunate reality that RMS’s behavior was a concern at the time, and that this protection was itself part of the problem.

To | Nov 30 06:08 |
| schestowitz | my shame I didn’t recognize the dynamic myself when I was around it. " | Nov 30 06:08 |
| schestowitz | To Bushnell’s shame, he does not seem to have been keeping up with RMS. You don’t have to carefully parse the man’s language or hang out with him long to see that he’s learned much about how not to make people uncomfortable, especially women, even if it’s true that RMS once did make people uncomfortable. In fact, it takes special parsing and leaps of bad logic to write the smear pieces. You also don’t have to read much to see | Nov 30 06:08 |

| schestowitz | Considering the HV's splendid uptime and lack of security incidents this past year or more, do we want to risk something breaking something that's already working? | Nov 30 08:12 |
| schestowitz | Another option: fuck VMs; just try to run both sites on the same setup, namely the HV itself. Would that be | Nov 30 08:12 |

| schestowitz | It becomes nevertheless tiring to have to read and hear from the proponents of the UPC how they grasp every straw, as thin as it might be, in order to claim that the UPC has a bright future. | Nov 30 08:41 |
| schestowitz | The future of the UPC appears rather doomed, as in the absence of the UK a key player will be missing. Why do you think US industry would like to see the UK staying in the UPC after the Brexit? Cf. IPKat: | Nov 30 08:41 |
| schestowitz | http://ipkitten.blogspot.com/2019/11/the-real-reason-why-451-page-dossier.html | Nov 30 08:41 |
| schestowitz | One of the bridges to be crossed after Brexit is to see what happens with the London branch of the UPC central division. This is not a decision which can be taken by the administrative committee, in spite of what some proponents claim. It will need a renegotiation of the UPC, as well as a new round of ratifications, and nobody knows presently how it will end. | Nov 30 08:41 |
| schestowitz | If according to the plans of the promoters the UPC would have been in place as early as its promoters hoped, we would be confronted with a fait accompli, which would only be possible to counteract by a decision of the CJEU claiming that the UPC is not conform with EU law. I am not surprised that an opinion of the CJEU has not been requested as it was the case for EPLA, but one can easily think why this has not happened. | Nov 30 08:41 |
