    [03:09] schestowitz

    The read command in Linux is a built-in command used in shell scripts and command lines to read a line of input from the standard input (stdin) and assign it to a variable. Here are some examples of how to use the read command: [...]

    [03:13] schestowitz

    Garrita is a homemade platform that lets an Arduino GIGA R1 WiFi with GIGA Display Shield transform into a highly mobile slideshow thanks to its larger onboard memory capacity and convenient layout. This year, the Electronic Cats were able to take their image shifter concept even further with Michi: an existing project that turns any conductive object into a capacitive touch-sensing controller. [03:13] schestowitz Whenever one of Michis inputs are toggled, the board sends a signal to the GIGA R1 WiFi that causes the current slide to advance to the next one.

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 ba [04:32] schestowitz sic 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 [04:32] schestowitz law from the EPO. There are issues where it would be inappropriate to do so."

    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. I [06:04] schestowitz f the grounds for refusal are public, it is difficult to understand and accept that the grounds for grant are not made public.

    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.
