    Ultramarine Linux: Fedora Made Easy and Beautiful for Everyone

    [04:58] schestowitz[TR2]

    One such distribution is called Ultramarine Linux. This Fedora-based operating system is designed to provide an easy-to-use experience for those who are new to Linux, while also offering more advanced features to tempt power users away from their current desktop.

    Ultramarine Linux differs from standard Fedora in several ways: [...]

    two open source stories

    First, I know that pretty much everyone is (understandably) freaking out about stuff that is getting worse, but I just wanted to share some good news in the form of an old-fashioned open-source success story. Im a fairly boring person and developed most of my software habits in the late 1990s and early 2000s, so its pretty rare that I actually hit a bug.

    [09:11] schestowitz[TR2]

    But so far this blog has hit two: one browser compatibility issue and this one. The script for rebuilding when a file changes depends on the inotifywait utility, and it turned out that until recently it breaks when you ask it to watch more than 1024 files.

    You might not see anything in the EPC which obliges the EPO to interpret claims by using a different approach to that adopted by the national courts. I have a more differentiated view on this.

    In my opinion interpreting claims in a post grant infringement is different from interpreting when it comes to validity at the EPO. In infringement, the scope of protection may be different as this ha [15:48] schestowitz[TR2] s been enshrined in Art 69(1) and Art 1 of the Protocol.

    When looking at the very coherent line of case law of the EBA relating to directly and unambiguously derivable, cf. e.g. G 2/98 and G 2/10, it is indeed inevitable that what can be derived during infringement cannot be the same as when applying Art 69(1) and Art 1 of the Protocol.

    Some national courts, e.g. the German Federal Court claims to foll [15:48] schestowitz[TR2] ow the EBAs case law, but does exactly the contrary when it comes to Art 123(2). There are enough decisions of the boards dismissing the various remedies proposed by the BGH to avoid revoking a patent monopoly in case of added matter.

    Improver and pemetrexed are two good examples of how the claims are interpreted by the EPO and by national courts.

    This has nothing to do with any "rough and ready" [15:48] schestowitz[TR2] ; approach to claim interpretation. The sound basis in law is the EPC and its interpretation by the EBA. In G 2/88, it held that Art 69(1) and Art 1 of the Protocol should be applied. In G 2/12, it came to the opposite conclusion.

    Lets thus wait and see what will be said by the EBA in G 1/24. [15:48] schestowitz[TR2] [ ● Mar 03 [17:13] schestowitz[TR2]
