| schestowitz | "Dear Mr Hagel,<br /><br />Why should it be difficult for the EPO to maintain a patent monopoly revoked by the UPC? <br /><br />This can only happen if the same prior art and the same interpretation of the prior art is to be found in the respective decisions. With a different prior art it is clear that we can arrive at different decisions. This will also be the case with the same prior art but with a different assessment of it. In both | Jan 19 12:09 |
| schestowitz | of those situations we can well arrive at contradictory decisions.<br /><br />Conversely, it might well be that a patent monopoly is considered valid and infringed at the UPC will be revoked or maintained in a more limited form after concurrent opposition at the EPO. The amended form could possibly allow escaping infringement. Here again, we will end up with contradictory decisions. <br /><br />All supporters of the EPC, e.g. Sir Robin | Jan 19 12:09 |
| schestowitz | Jacob at a recent panel discussion at UCL, wish that the latter will assert its primacy in the European patent monopoly arena in matters of validity. Nothing is more certain as a patent monopoly with or without unitary effect will be prosecuted under the case law of the EBA and of the BA. That different courts might have different views is nothing new under the sun. <br /><br />The potential of contradictory decisions has been largely u | Jan 19 12:09 |
| schestowitz | nderestimated when the UPC was set up. The aim of the UPC is, at least in first instance, to come with quick decisions, whereas for good reasons it takes more time at the EPO. The potential of contradictory decisions is thus built in the UPC system. <br /><br />Amongst a host of other unresolved issues, it's the original sin of the UPC" | Jan 19 12:09 |

| -TechBytesBot/#techbytes-ipkitten.blogspot.com | UPC Munich Local Division takes a novel approach to claim interpretation (SES vs Hanshow, UPC-CFI-292/2023) - The IPKat | Jan 19 12:10 | |
| schestowitz | "Dear Santa,<br /><br />When complaining about the stance adopted by the EPO and the BA/EBA in matters of added matter, it is often forgotten, that novelty and added matter are the two faces of the same coin. The case law of the EBA has the merit to be coherent and understandable. <br /><br />What is gained on the one side is lost on the other. When in the prior art a lot of selections, without any pointer, are needed to come to the sub | Jan 19 12:10 |
| schestowitz | ject-matter of a claim, the subject-matter of it is novel. In the absence of a pointer it might most probably be inventive as there is no reason to end up with the claimed selection of features. In this respect it was good that the criteria of “purposive selection” when selecting a small range among a larger one, has been removed from the novelty criterion. <br /><br />Why should “added matter no longer needs to be assessed with t | Jan 19 12:10 |
| schestowitz | he same strictness as the EPO”? Added matter is by no means a mere 'formal' issue, rather than a substantive issue. If there is a substantive issue next to novelty and inventive step, it is certainly added matter. <br /><br />Why should third parties hampered by a proprietor trying to bring in the claims, something he had not thought of it originally? That it might be obvious for a person skilled in the art to combine distinct embodi | Jan 19 12:10 |
| schestowitz | ments might be true, but why should it be accepted after filing or grant? <br /><br />It remains to be seen whether the UPC will adopt the EPO's tests for added matter. That we will end up with contradictory decisions between UPC and EPO in this matter is to be expected, as we have experienced it with the German Federal Court (BGH). For first instance divisions and the BA, the case law which matters is that of the EBA and not that of th | Jan 19 12:10 |
| schestowitz | e UPC. <br /><br />A patent monopoly opposed might be revoked by the EPO whilst the UPC consider it valid. Contrary decisions between the UPC and the EPO on this topic are more than probable. As the reach of the EPC is much wider that that of the UPC, case law of the EPO in matters of validity should have pre-eminence." | Jan 19 12:10 |

| schestowitz | Sorry, i checked my email too late. | Jan 19 18:13 |
| schestowitz | Liam Dawe repeated the same mistake, then added "Update:" | Jan 19 18:13 |
| schestowitz | "I welcome your feedback on the following draft blog post. | Jan 19 18:21 |
| schestowitz | [[!meta title="sexual violence"]] | Jan 19 18:21 |
| schestowitz | Once again (or still?) the Free Software Movement is under attack. | Jan 19 18:21 |
| schestowitz | Its founder and lead champion, who also stands for clarity in | Jan 19 18:21 |
| schestowitz | discourse, avoidance of manipulative language, and progressive agency | Jan 19 18:21 |
| schestowitz | for teenagers towards adulthood, and who perceives sex as a mutually | Jan 19 18:21 |
| schestowitz | pleasant activity between consenting parties, is falsely accused of | Jan 19 18:21 |
| schestowitz | defending sexual offenders because he dares denounce manipulative | Jan 19 18:21 |
| schestowitz | language that purport to make the offense seem even worse than it is. | Jan 19 18:21 |
| schestowitz | The contender, quite adept at verbal manipulation, invents a narrative | Jan 19 18:21 |
| schestowitz | by threading select quotes that denounce such manipulative language | Jan 19 18:21 |
| schestowitz | and presenting them as if they likened his adversary to the offenders. | Jan 19 18:21 |
| schestowitz | The narrative comes across to me as if the person was only able to | Jan 19 18:21 |
| schestowitz | perceive sex as giving pleasure to exploiters, which is very sad. | Jan 19 18:21 |
| schestowitz | One who denies teenagers any agency whatsoever, even as to the healthy | Jan 19 18:21 |
| schestowitz | development of their sexual life, is not protecting them from harm, | Jan 19 18:21 |
| schestowitz | but rather inflicting them harm. Damaging someone's life through | Jan 19 18:21 |
| schestowitz | sexual abuse is very bad, but so is damaging someone's life by | Jan 19 18:21 |
| schestowitz | arresting development, by denying autonomy, and even by censorship and | Jan 19 18:21 |
| schestowitz | ostracism attained through word twisting and false narratives. All of | Jan 19 18:21 |
| schestowitz | these are reproachable forms of violence, and they make a lot more | Jan 19 18:21 |
| schestowitz | victims than ever could any imaginary sexual misconduct falsely | Jan 19 18:21 |
| schestowitz | attributed to someone. The chilling effect of interdicting academic | Jan 19 18:21 |
| schestowitz | and political debate, e.g. on teenage agency and on sexuality, by | Jan 19 18:21 |
| schestowitz | means of e.g. twisting, misrepresenting, selectively quoting and | Jan 19 18:21 |
| schestowitz | suppressing opinions, and of threats of censorship and of ostracism, | Jan 19 18:21 |
| schestowitz | amounts to violence not only on potential debaters, but on everyone | Jan 19 18:21 |
| schestowitz | with an interest in the topics. | Jan 19 18:21 |
| schestowitz | ---- | Jan 19 18:21 |
| schestowitz | The contender ends the latest attack by claiming the lead champion | Jan 19 18:21 |
| schestowitz | does not understand power dynamics. Ironically, power dynamics is the | Jan 19 18:21 |
| schestowitz | very core driver for the Free Software Movement the lead champion | Jan 19 18:21 |
| schestowitz | founded and leads: users have autonomy and freedom only as long as | Jan 19 18:21 |
| schestowitz | they are in control of their computing, i.e., as long as they don't | Jan 19 18:21 |
| schestowitz | give others power to control them through their computing. | Jan 19 18:21 |
| schestowitz | Showing any understanding of this fundamental power dynamics is | Jan 19 18:21 |
| schestowitz | conspicuously absent from the website, endorsed (maintained?) by the | Jan 19 18:21 |
| schestowitz | contender, that misrepresents the Free Software Movement as meant for | Jan 19 18:21 |
| schestowitz | "building the world's best software" rather than resisting and | Jan 19 18:21 |
| schestowitz | eliminating the injustice of user subjugation through software. | Jan 19 18:21 |
| schestowitz | Programs that serve users, rather than control them, are best indeed, | Jan 19 18:21 |
| schestowitz | for this very reason, but the website wording is misleading for people | Jan 19 18:21 |
| schestowitz | who don't grasp that concept yet, and who have been misled into | Jan 19 18:21 |
| schestowitz | accepting user-subjugating software and into valuing more immediate | Jan 19 18:21 |
| schestowitz | and superficial features than freedom, autonomy, and sovereignty. | Jan 19 18:21 |
| schestowitz | Understanding this power dynamics should be essential to play a | Jan 19 18:21 |
| schestowitz | relevant role in the Free Software Movement, and it comes across to me | Jan 19 18:21 |
| schestowitz | as quite suspicious when someone who does not seem to care for it | Jan 19 18:21 |
| schestowitz | attempts to overthrow the person who first did it, and does it best. | Jan 19 18:21 |
| schestowitz | Resorting to making up false narratives that twist stances against | Jan 19 18:21 |
| schestowitz | manipulation and for agency and freedom into the monstering of a kind, | Jan 19 18:21 |
| schestowitz | caring, and respectful person makes it even worse. What a shame! | Jan 19 18:21 |
| schestowitz | If you hear or read from such skillful manipulators, be mindful of the | Jan 19 18:21 |
| schestowitz | famous quote attributed to Cardinal Richelieu (and to Voltaire): "Give | Jan 19 18:21 |
| schestowitz | me six lines written by the hand of the most honest man, I will find | Jan 19 18:21 |
| schestowitz | something in them which will hang him", and do wonder why (as in, cui | Jan 19 18:21 |
| schestowitz | bono?) someone would set out to so persistently demand you to hang the | Jan 19 18:21 |
| schestowitz | most honest man. Disinformation flourishes because many people care | Jan 19 18:21 |
| schestowitz | deeply about injustice, but very few check the facts. Don't mistake a | Jan 19 18:21 |
| schestowitz | web search that hits the same false accusations, repeated over a | Jan 19 18:21 |
| schestowitz | thousand times, for checking the facts. Realize that, if you allow | Jan 19 18:21 |
| schestowitz | yourself to be manipulated into hanging the most honest man, you | Jan 19 18:21 |
| schestowitz | become an accessory to the very injustice you wished to fight against. | Jan 19 18:21 |
| schestowitz | ---- | Jan 19 18:21 |
| schestowitz | Remember the lead champion was first canceled for objecting solely to | Jan 19 18:21 |
| schestowitz | the manipulative inflation of the accusation against a late MIT | Jan 19 18:21 |
| schestowitz | professor. The professor was presumed to have had sex with a | Jan 19 18:21 |
| schestowitz | too-young sex slave that, at a sex trafficker's orders, offered | Jan 19 18:21 |
| schestowitz | herself to the professor. It turned out that caution was more than | Jan 19 18:21 |
| schestowitz | called for, because the accusation was false: the professor declined | Jan 19 18:21 |
| schestowitz | the offer. Even the allegation that she was below age of consent | Jan 19 18:21 |
| schestowitz | (presented as justifying the inflated term) was false, in that | Jan 19 18:21 |
| schestowitz | jurisdiction, at the time of the events. Of course, age of consent is | Jan 19 18:21 |
| schestowitz | hardly relevant when she was a slave, but the accusation was still | Jan 19 18:21 |
| schestowitz | false, and instead of admitting so, manipulators will double down on | Jan 19 18:21 |
| schestowitz | it and even misrepresent her age to further reinforce their | Jan 19 18:21 |
| schestowitz | manipulative narrative. They wish you to respond emotionally with | Jan 19 18:21 |
| schestowitz | condemnation, and for their manipulative language to go unchallenged, | Jan 19 18:21 |
| schestowitz | rather than for you to seek, find and think through the facts. They | Jan 19 18:21 |
| schestowitz | seemingly wish to infantilize teenagers and even adults, by | Jan 19 18:21 |
| schestowitz | interdicting the academic and political debate of such important and | Jan 19 18:21 |
| schestowitz | diverse social norms as on age of consent, adulthood, and autonomy, | Jan 19 18:21 |
| schestowitz | with regards to sexual and also to digital lives. For the sake of | Jan 19 18:21 |
| schestowitz | justice, civilization, and kindness, we ought to strive to resist that | Jan 19 18:21 |
| schestowitz | pressure, and to listen to the various sides before judging, to avoid | Jan 19 18:21 |
| schestowitz | committing irreparable harm and such tragic endings as that of the | Jan 19 18:21 |
| schestowitz | worldwide-celebrated masterpiece (spoiler alert) "Romeo and Juliet."" | Jan 19 18:21 |
