| schestowitz[TR] | Dear Max Drei,<br /><br />Your comment is certainly interesting, but it is not sure at all whether the applicant knew of E1 when the application was drafted. <br /><br />In the description as filed, there is no background art mentioned at all. <br /><br />In the patent, D1=WO-A1-02/03757 (X,Y in the ISR) was mentioned as prior art. <br /><br />D1 supported a novelty objection at the beginning of examination. During examination, the | Apr 13 02:53 |
| schestowitz[TR] | ED added D5=WO-A1-00/53094 to raise an objection of inventive step with D1 as CPA. With new claims a patent was then granted. <br /><br />D5 can be found when comparing the documents in the ISR with those quoted on the front page of the patent. <br /><br />As the examiner found an X,Y document as well as D2=US-A1- 2004 252 854 (Y), D3=WO-A1-2009/138895 (A) and D4=EP-A1- 0 026 247 (Y,A), it is most probable that the examiner stopped | Apr 13 02:53 |
| schestowitz[TR] | the search. How D5 came into the procedure cannot be determined. It could well come from another member of the ED. <br /><br />There was thus no chance for the ED to examine the application with E1 as prior art. <br /><br />The patent was maintained in amended form and the board considered that claim1 as maintained was lacking IS over E1 on the basis of partial problems. It is difficult to follow you when you consider the reasoning | Apr 13 02:53 |
| schestowitz[TR] | of the Board under Art 56 to be “tortuous”. <br /><br />When looking at published decisions of the BA following oppositions it is noticeable to see that in nearly 90% of the cases the opponents bring forward patent literature which was available in the search files of the EPO. Even Art 54(3) prior art, sometimes from the same inventor. <br /><br />It is also noticeable that in most than half the cases the decision of the OD, w | Apr 13 02:53 |

That is, it is perfectly possible for there to be serious problems with <b>both</b> the case law on equivalents <b>and</b> the EPO's practice on adaptation of the description. Remember, two wrongs do not make a right.<br /><br />There are several reasons why I see the EPO's practice as an extreme and unjustified overreaction.<br /><br />Firstly, it is simply | Apr 13 02:53 |
| schestowitz[TR] | not the EPO's business to police the determination (by national courts) of extent of protection. Indeed, it is an overreach for them to even try.<br /><br />Secondly, the EPO's practice risks achieving results that run directly contrary to the principles set out in the Protocol to Article 69 EPC. That is, they risk limiting the scope of protection to the "strict, literal meaning of the wording used in the claims", and pos | Apr 13 02:53 |
| schestowitz[TR] | sibly even to a <i>narrower</i> scope that that, depending upon how good a job the ED has done with interpreting the language of the claims.<br /><br />Thirdly, if there are problems with the jurisprudence of national courts, then the best way of addressing this would either be through dialogue with those courts or through new legislation. Frankly, attempting to "fix" the case law problem through perverting both the EPO's | Apr 13 02:53 |
| schestowitz[TR] | practice and its mission is both lazy and undemocratic.<br /><br />I think that it should be perfectly possible to fix the current case law problems by coming up with a solution that strikes an acceptable balance between the various competing interests. What the EPO has dreamed up is most definitely <b>not</b> such a balance. | Apr 13 02:53 |

| schestowitz[TR] | han fully convinced. But who can do better, I wonder.<br /><br />What about that old US formulation "insolubly ambiguous"? If the claim is that, then it is permissible to turn to the description to resolve the ambiguity. Otherwise, not. <br /><br />For example, who remembers the notorious CAFC case Chef America, with its claim to baking dough to 400°F (resulting in slabs of charcoal instead of loaves of bread). Intended, | Apr 13 02:54 |
| schestowitz[TR] | of course, and evident from the description, was baking with the oven set at 400°F. But the claim was clear and down it went, much to the chagrin of the owner and their patent attorney. Also in the USA there is a nice case that turned on an "Oxford comma" so it is not exclusively the EPO that goes in for "catastrophic comma" cases. | Apr 13 02:54 |

| schestowitz[TR] | " | Apr 13 02:54 |
| schestowitz[TR] | Rather than discussing at length whether the description should be adapted to the claims before grant or maintenance in amended form, it seems better to clarify the use of the description under Art 69 and its protocol as we are in presence of two diverging lines of case law. <br /><br />According to the first line of case law, Art 69 and its protocol have to be taken into account during prosecution at the EPO, is represented by T 14 | Apr 13 02:54 |
| schestowitz[TR] | 73/19 which referred to T 1167/13 and T 2773/18. This line of case law goes back to T 16/87.<br /><br />According to the second line of case law, Art 69 and its protocol should not be taken into account during prosecution at the EPO, is represented by T 169/20 and T 821/20, the latter referring to T169/20 and T 1127/16.<br />According to T 1279/04, confirmed by T 1778/17, application of the principles of claim interpretation as laid | Apr 13 02:54 |
| schestowitz[TR] | down in Art 69 and the Protocol is to be limited to the determination of the extent of protection which was primarily of concern in infringement proceedings or in opposition under Art 123(3).<br />According this second line of case law, there is no justification for relying on the description to restrict the scope of the claim by excluding interpretations which are both reasonable and technically sensible in the technical context o | Apr 13 02:54 |

After all, E1 (73 pages of it) went on to issue as EP-B1-1214337. | Apr 13 02:54 |

| schestowitz[TR] | <p>Recent studies have revealed nearly half of LinkedIn’s users as prone to these feelings of negativity, evidence that the effects of the app’s toxic hustle culture is experienced by the bulk of users. Despite these sentiments, however, many individuals feel that LinkedIn is harder to ‘quit’ than traditional social media.

| schestowitz[TR] | <p>This perceived necessity of LinkedIn as a “job search assist” has become the gold standard of the app’s interface, trapping users in an endless scroll under the veil of professional development. Correspondingly, LinkedIn’s revenue increased by 26.2% in 2022, currently resting at a cool $14.5 billion. The platform’s reliance on monetizing user data and leveraging connections to generate pr | Apr 13 10:59 |

| schestowitz[TR] | Quick reminder: Filing of the RfR SAP5 salary and pension adjustment templates still possible | Apr 13 15:01 |
| schestowitz[TR] | Dear colleagues, | Apr 13 15:01 |
| schestowitz[TR] | In this earlier publication we advised staff to file a Request for Review on the Salary Adjustment that was implemented with the January 2023 salary slips. | Apr 13 15:01 |
| schestowitz[TR] | We would like to remind you that it is still possible to file these RfR templates: habitually, the salary slip is seen as the implementation of a decision, and as such the time limit for challenging this implementation starts running from this date. | Apr 13 15:01 |
| schestowitz[TR] | As the January salary slips were made available on the 26th of January, one can still safely file the Request for Review until Wednesday, 26th of April 2023. | Apr 13 15:01 |
| schestowitz[TR] | Please follow these instructions: | Apr 13 15:01 |
| schestowitz[TR] | Select the right template (active staff or pensioner). | Apr 13 15:01 |
| schestowitz[TR] | Fill in the first page and the last page of the Word template with your personal data and your signature. | Apr 13 15:01 |
| schestowitz[TR] | Convert the completed request for review into a PDF file. | Apr 13 15:01 |
| schestowitz[TR] | Retrieve your salary slip or pension statement for January 2023. | Apr 13 15:01 |
