schestowitz"Thank you DXThomas. In terms of national court practice I am only really familiar with the UK. In EPO opposition added matter is a very powerful attack and is often used. In UK court proceedings it is very rarely an issue, and the focus is more on other substantive issues. I believe that is true for other European national courts also. That is just how courts work. They sort of assume the relevant patent monopoly office has done the baJan 21 04:32
schestowitzsic formal part of getting to a valid patent, and they take it from there. The UPC is a court, not a patent monopoly office, which is why I think added matter will not be very relevant there. If added matter does become important at the UPC it will mean the UPC is behaving differently to other courts, and that would be unfair to litigants. My previous comment on this was simply to point out that the UPC cannot wholesale import all case Jan 21 04:32
schestowitzlaw from the EPO. There are issues where it would be inappropriate to do so."Jan 21 04:32

schestowitz"It is interesting to note that the opposition appeal proceedings in EP 3023362 are interrupted under Art 61(1) since June 2022 following a claim filed in Düsseldorf by Nespresso. <br /><br />The users of the EPO and their representatives have been quite adamant and did not want the Votum, i.e. the internal reasons as to why a patent monopoly should be granted, to become public. A negative influence on US prosecution was most feared. IJan 21 06:04
schestowitzf the grounds for refusal are public, it is difficult to understand and accept that the grounds for grant are not made public. <br /><br />With the present decision, procedures before the EPO can, as such, be taken into account in US procedures. One more reason to open the Votum to the public. "Jan 21 06:04

schestowitzThank you for being among the few who decided to contribute financially so we can keep going strong. Tonight I will record 3 videos on FOSS topics, but expect some patent-related coverage, based on leaks, until February. We got a pile of exclusive stuff.Jan 21 13:17

schestowitz> an insane fee for transfers to other countries.Jan 21 13:17
schestowitzYes, they make a lot of money out of people's money. It's sad that bartering works that way and sometimes they financially censor people.Jan 21 13:17

schestowitzThis is a very old paypal account and unless someone tries to terminate it, I don't expect that to change. As you're aware, a bunch of criminals (yes, arrested) have been attacking me and my wife online, even my mom. They even threatened hosting companies.Jan 21 13:17

schestowitz"Canonical is not in the business of catering to the likes of Richard Stallman and Roy Schestowitz. They are a for-profit enterprise, and they have to make tough decisions to keep Ubuntu relevant in the ever-changing tech landscape.
