schestowitzindeed. It's fair to say denizens of that server have strong opinions about the fork I started. 😅Mar 14 00:25
schestowitzI think in the fullness of time the wider Linux world will cotton on to the fact we're trying to create a "stepping stone" application that brings new people into free software, and we're doing it the right way.Mar 14 00:25
schestowitzWe probably didn't help ourselves tbh, and the perception we're trying to kill a beloved program with political correctness was down to us poorly communicating our intentionsMar 14 00:25

schestowitzThere should be no automatic passes so pre-EQE candidates should not get automatic passes. Candidates sitting the main EQEs will not get passes and I don't see why it is fair that pre-EQE candidates get automatic passes.Mar 14 15:47
schestowitzThere should be some discretion applied by the EPO but everyone will need to sit the exams once the corona virus goes away (hopefully soon).Mar 14 15:47

schestowitzThanks Frantzeska. When this decision came out, one of my thoughts was how would it have been handled if infringement was being considered by the hypothetical UPC. While the UK implemenmting legislation included provisions for Crown use, these would not have been considered by the court and so a decision of infringement would not have been prevented on this basis. Would the patentee have then been entitled to damages from Vodafone?Mar 14 15:48
schestowitzAll irrelevant now though.Mar 14 15:48

schestowitz".... many governments have taken measures to prevent spreading of the COVID19 disease, amongst them prohibition of public events with a certain size up to putting certain regions under total quarantine with an absolute travel ban.Mar 14 15:48
-TechBytesBot/#techbytes-ipkitten.blogspot.com | BREAKING: EQE and pre-EQE postponed until further notice - The IPKatMar 14 15:48
schestowitzAdditionally, many companies and employers have also put in place travel restrictions for their employees. It is not possible to carry out a complex pan-European EQE under those circumstances without putting at risk participants and organizers.Mar 14 15:48
schestowitzWe all do not know, how the situation will develop within the next months. We support and encourage therefore the Supervisory Board, the EPO EQE secretariat and all other bodies involved to explore all necessary measures to carry out an EQE for the candidates who planned to sit in March 2020 as soon as the situation will allow, either still within 2020 or only in 2021."Mar 14 15:48
