schestowitzThat a garden hose is the proper closest prior art appears not suffering any discussion.Jul 25 17:51
schestowitzThe only question left is whether the skilled person would take into consideration Mac Donald which deals with a breathing apparatus.Jul 25 17:51
schestowitzIn my humble opinion it does not matter for the pipe whether it forwards water or air as both are fluids. In the cooperative classification the EPO has also classified Mac Donald in F 16L 11, which deals with hoses without any limitation to the fluid transported by the hose.Jul 25 17:52

schestowitz"Jul 25 17:52
schestowitzMixed feelings about this. Exams are so hard that pretty much any change to them is unwelcome as you worry about being able to perform in changed circumstances. On the other hand, literally no-one looks forward to going to Walsall to sit the exams in what is typically a cold exam hall, with the worry that transport troubles might mean you missing the exam.Jul 25 17:52
schestowitzIt might seem weird to people, but if given the choice between sitting the exams at home and sitting them in Walsall I really wouldn't know which one to pick (but would probably have my mind made up for me by superiors unwilling to cover the cost of the trek to Walsall).Jul 25 17:52

schestowitzMy Partners and I had been looking at whether we could socially distance candidates in a large conference room with a Partner invigilating. Does anyone know whether this has been considered by PEB (or indeed now, the EPO)? The advantage of this is that it might remove some of the problems with poor or unrealiable internet access outside the big cities that we still have to put up with in the UK.Jul 25 17:52

schestowitzI understood on the call yesterday that this would not be possible. The exam proctor software is apparently automatic, the start up involving a 360 degree room scan meant to make sure no other people were present - so any other people in the same room, or potentially glass walls, would be a problem.Jul 25 17:52
schestowitzAnonymousThursday, 23 July 2020 at 16:33:00 BSTJul 25 17:52
schestowitzMy understanding from the webinar yesterday was that PEB considered this. However, it suffers from the same issues as a normal exam (apart from the social distancing). That being, if a local lockdown in enforced the exam would have to be cancelled.Jul 25 17:52

schestowitzHas there been any comment on who can qualify as "Designated Contact" if you choose to sit the exams at your firm's address?Jul 25 17:52
schestowitzDoes this person have to be CIPA qualified? Or is EPA qualified suitable for this purpose?Jul 25 17:52
