| schestowitz | > honestly not all, and 100% of the articles about the EPO. | Nov 08 07:38 |
| schestowitz | Nowadays we cover EPO only when there's something important and new to tell. Which isn't often :/ | Nov 08 07:38 |

| schestowitz | I think optimism is only healthy until it leads to betrayal and frustration... like personal bankruptcies. | Nov 08 07:38 |

| schestowitz | That's OK. Nice to know insiders care for the site. Just wish we had more "signal" from EPO, SUEPO and CSC. It's understandable it's even harder now with no physical access to the premises. Regards, | Nov 08 07:38 |

| schestowitz | "This is where the key point that I am making comes into play. This is because it is not entirely clear whether it is permissible for Eli Lilly to rely upon that post-filing data to support sufficiency and/or inventive step for the non-literal scope of their patent claims. To answer that question, one needs to decide whether, based upon the evidence, the disclosure of Eli Lilly's patent renders PLAUSIBLE the relevant technical effect ( | Nov 08 12:49 |
| schestowitz | of inhibiting tumor growth) for the "equivalent" salt forms. This is a question that, to date, the national courts in Europe appear not to have considered in any depth. Personally, I find this alarming, as it suggests that the patentability standards for non-literal claim scope are much lower than those for literal claim scope ... which simply cannot be right." | Nov 08 12:49 |

| schestowitz | "Hi Anonymous. Just to clarify on your points, yes of course it would not be copyright infringement to use another's copyright protected work WITH permission or a licence (or within a copyright exception for that matter). Sample licences are very common in the music industry. These cases mentioned in my post are infringement claims brought by the copyright holders - meaning that they did NOT agree to the use of their work and therefore | Nov 08 12:52 |
| schestowitz | believe it to be an infringement. Hope that clarifies any confusion. " | Nov 08 12:52 |
| schestowitz | " | Nov 08 12:52 |
| schestowitz | Apparently, no one explained there is a BIG difference between LEGAL sampling with permission which is very common and ILLEGAL copying. | Nov 08 12:52 |
| schestowitz | It can NOT be ASSUMED that just because credit is shared that illegal copying has occurred. | Nov 08 12:52 |
| schestowitz | Simply ASK the owners of the songs used as similar fact evidence , no need to analyze the songs. | Nov 08 12:52 |
| schestowitz | " | Nov 08 12:52 |
| schestowitz | " | Nov 08 12:53 |
| schestowitz | This is absolutely disturbing and unfair. Legal sampling in music is extremely common by ALL artists. All it would take is to ask TLC and Shaggy to provide a simple statement that permission was asked to sample /interpolate and a legal agreement was made. Intentional sampling /interpolation is a way for new songs to share the wealth with older songs whose income streams have dried up. It is a GOOD thing and is a proactive way to help | Nov 08 12:53 |
| schestowitz | others in the industry. It is NOT to be confused with illegal copying without permission. | Nov 08 12:53 |
| schestowitz | As far as "Oh Why" and "Shape Of You" the similarities are limited to extremely simplistic ,common , unoriginal elements. that are not even actually identical . It should be considered fair use of public domain elements. | Nov 08 12:53 |
| schestowitz | It also should be pointed out that Sheeran used very similar elements to those Chokri has claimed he copied in songs Sheeran released 4 to 7 years BEFORE "Oh Why" | Nov 08 12:53 |
| schestowitz | The "Photograph" case was settled out of court and though Sheeran shared the credit and royalties it should be noted that both parties agreed to NO GUILT on Sheeran's part. That is a significant detail and should be public record . | Nov 08 12:53 |
| schestowitz | Also a simple google search would reveal just about EVERY current artist making MONEY with their music is being sued for/accused of plagiarism, many multiple times. It is definitely a trend to pick apart songs to there most basic common elements and make a claim. EVERYONE making MONEY is a target. | Nov 08 12:53 |
