"@ Anonymous of 20.03.2024 at 09:23:00 GMT Where is there any arrogance to be seen in the fact that the BA of the EPO has come to a conclusion which does not correspond to that of another court and of an expert mandated by this court. The courts are independent from each other and they are perfectly entitled to come to different conclusions on the same case. This goes in both directions. When it comes to the valid

schestowitz

ity of a claim, the last word lies with the BA after appeal in opposition. This is how the European Patent system has been conceived. It might not correspond to the views of a national court, but that is how it is. A national court might conclude to infringement, but once the BA has decided to revoke the European patent monopoly or to maintain it in amended form, this decision is applicable in all contracting states of the E

schestowitz

PC in which the European patent monopoly has been validated. I would also like to observe that a BA does not have to resort to an expert opinion as it is always composed of two technical and one legal member. This is not the case in German courts only composed of legal members. I find the conclusion of the BA much more convincing than that of the German courts supported by an expert opinion. The protruding parts

schestowitz

cannot be considered as steering device. The protruding parts are simply allowing the device to follow the course of the pipe and cannot do anything else. The steering device can, as stated by the BA, change the direction of travel. This is the more so as the protruding parts and the steering device were defined in separate features of claim 1. For the surplus, I have commented T 447/22 in another blog. "

schestowitz

"In fact, G 1/22 explicitly states that ex post tra...</a></h5><blockquote> In fact, G 1/22 explicitly states that ex post transfer of priority rights would be allowed under the EPC (see Reasons 100 and 114), in case that a presumption of entitlement exists on the date on which the priority is claimed. The rebuttal of the presumption must also relate to this date, and that later developments cannot affect the rebuttable presumption

schestowitz

" (see Reasons 109). Based on this logic, the BoA concluded that, as being retroactive, an at least implicit transfer agreement by way of the settlement of the inventorship dispute would relate to this date, and confirmed the presumption on entitlement to exist on this date. OK. But does this mean that, if, based on disagreement, a party has already created facts, these facts can be undone by a later settleme

schestowitz

nt that is then construed to imply that the earlier disagreement did not exist? Here is what happened: (i) Mr Marraffini has assigned his priority rights on inter alia P1 and P2 to Rockefeller University on that 12 Dec 2013 (i.e., one year after the earliest priority date) (assignment recorded at the USPTO under Reel 032309, Frame 0575). (ii) Rockefeller filed a non-provisional application that same day, as well as a P

schestowitz

CT application PCT/US2013/074611 (published as WO2014093595), claiming the priority of inter alia P1 and P2. (iii) As recorded by a letter to the USPTO, Broad wasn’t happy with this step, claiming that Rockefeller’s submission was not authorized by Broad, and that Marraffini was not a legitimate inventor. As a result, the BoA envisaged that it would remit the case to the 1st instance for further negotiation.

schestowitz

So, is it really true that the ex post transfer of priority rights, which the BoA deemed allowable, can be based on a presumption that the entitlement of such transfer existed already on 12 Dec 2013, i.e., the date on which the priority was claimed? Point taken, but considering the patent monopoly is eventually maintained - what does this all change, now, for those interested in using the technology, and asking themsel

schestowitz

ves who to apply for a license? Well, not much. The licensing situation in the US remains unaffected by this decision, while in Europe, CVC still has the earlier priority date (25. May 2012 vs. 12. Dec 2012), and has claims that encompass the application in eukaryotes (see e.g., CVC’s EP280081B1, which was found, in 1st instance, to sufficiently enable claims related to the use in eukaryotes, because combinations with NLS

schestowitz

(nuclear localization sequences) would be known from ZFN and TALEN, and a combination thereof with CRISPR would be in the routine of the skilled artisan. This case is in appeal though and oral hearings will take place in Oct 2024). So, the recent decision does not make it easier for those who what to use the technology - but probably not more difficult either."

<DaemonFC> I didn't tell John about it, but I got a check from the car finance company. They said it was overpaid by $801 so they made a check out to me.

schestowitz

<DaemonFC> He made off with $11,000 after they paid the car loan off. And yeah, he gave me $2200 of it.

schestowitz

<DaemonFC> But yeah.

<DaemonFC> Now he's doing some class action against Kia demanding another $4,000 for himself.

schestowitz

A global theme on the kde third party store had an issue where it executed a script that removed user's data. It wasn't intended as malicious, but a mistake in some shell parsing. It was promptly identified and removed, but not before doing some damage to that user.

schestowitz

This has started a lot of discourse around the concept of the store, security and upstream KDE. With the main question how can a theme have access to do this?
