schestowitz[TR2]                                        <p>Rough start. Very much so. A time travel back into the past, but not in a good way, if you will. I was not very happy the first time I tried Kubuntu 24.04. The distro felt extremely unpolished. Just a few weeks later, the distro had a major update, and along the way, a good few dozen bugs and issues went away. Rather quickly, Kubuntu became reasonably pleasant to use. You could say, just wNov 07 09:40
schestowitz[TR2]ait a few months. Or you could say, don't release the distro when it's not ready, just wait a few months. 24.07 or 24.09 sounds just as good as any other sequence of numbers, as long as the user experience is great. No one ever said, oh, I don't want to use that particular version, the numbers are all wrong. </p>Nov 07 09:40

schestowitz[TR2]I commented the decision in my blog, from the angle of appropriation of traditional knowledge, which was the angle adopted by the opponents. <br /><br />It is possible to  understand the cautious approach of the board in matters of Art 53(a). It is a can of worms and very few boards have been engaging in this matter. <br /><br />This decision reminded me of T 416/01 on the use of neem oil, also a traditional product. But there onlyNov 07 17:32
schestowitz[TR2] the use was subject of the patent monopoly and the patent monopoly was revoked for lack of IS. <br /><br />On the other hand, penicillin, digitalis or salicylic acid and its derivatives are also coming from natural remedies. Decoctions of foxgloves were well known to the ancients for their heart-healthy properties. The same applies to the use of salix alba in decoctions.<br /><br />Would you have denied Flemming a patent monopoly Nov 07 17:32
schestowitz[TR2]on penicillin on the grounds that it was a product of natural origin? Doesn't making available and isolating the active principle of a natural product deserve a patent? <br /><br />As far as G 1/23 is concerned, the decision might have an impact on patents like the present one, but then again, the question will be: is making available and isolating the active principle, albeit of natural origin not worth a patent? . <br /><br />In Nov 07 17:32
schestowitz[TR2]any case, I see difficulties for the EPO deciding what is moral or not and whether a patent monopoly might be exploited is not for the EPO to decide. Like for any pharmaceutical product, having a patent monopoly is not authorising the proprietor to treat patients. Nov 07 17:32
