schestowitzThe whole difference between EPC1973 and EPC 2000 is that the wording which was previous in Art 52(4) has been transferred to Art 53, c). There has been no change in the law, and hence no reason to change case law in this matter.Oct 22 14:41

schestowitzWhile I'm in the mood to rant a little bit about Ubuntu, which I generally like, I really don't appreciate the drop off in integration quality and nobody seemingly caring much about the non-LTS releases, while massive platform changes go on every 6 months breaking apps sometimes.Oct 22 21:35
