In this respect, a court skipping the step where the relevant laws are identified, as well as the later step where those laws are interpreted, seems to me to be a pretty serious failing.

If the facts of the case were converted into an examination question, I cannot ima [18:42] schestowitz gine that any examination board would award a pass mark to a candidate who assessed claim interpretation and infringement in the same way as the Munich LD. If you fail to show your working then you cannot expect to receive high marks from those who review your end product.

The LD may indeed have taken a refreshing / innovative / surprising approach to the task at hand. However, failing to show their working they means that th [18:42] schestowitz ey will fail to inspire (widespread) confidence in their conclusions. That is not a good look for a court that is in its infancy." [18:42] schestowitz "Santa, you are essentially arguing that, where they feel that there is a good reason for doing so, judges should be able to effectively (re-)write the laws. You will forgive me if I strongly disagree with that argument, which I see as nothing other than a call to trash the separation of powers principle.

In this regard, I find it interesting that, by mentioning both plant varieties and the possibility for the law to & [18:42] schestowitz quot;evolve", you make an oblique reference to G 3/19. To my mind, that was the absolute worst EBA decision ever, precisely for the reason that it trashes the separation of powers principle. The concept of a "dynamic" interpretation was mangled so badly in G 3/19 that its true purpose is easy to discern, namely the provision of an excuse, no matter how implausible, for the EBA to condone an administrative power-grab that, [18:42] schestowitz to all intents and purposes, represents a triumph of politics over the rule of law." ● Jan 16 [19:17] *SaphirJD (~SaphirJD@3d4grvkztv9j4.irc) has joined #techbytes ● Jan 16 [22:39] *psydruid (~psydruid@jevhxkzmtrbww.irc) has left #techbytes ● Jan 16 [23:18] *psydroid2 has quit (Quit: KVIrc 5.0.0 Aria http://www.kvirc.net/)
