schestowitz | An interesting question will apply to judges that might be recruited during the provisional application period. That is, will they be prepared to accept employment from a court that, strictly speaking, does not have any legal basis (and hence is not a bona fide legal entity)? | Sep 30 02:04 |
schestowitz | Of course, accepting an offer of employment by the UPC under these circumstances would (or at least should) disqualify the judges concerned from hearing any cases that challenge the basis (under international law) for the UPC. This is because any party raising such a challenge would be able to point to the judge’s acceptance of employment by the UPC as providing objective justification for a fear of partiality on the point of law in question. | Sep 30 02:04 |
schestowitz | Thus, it will be impossible for any judge of the UPC to handle, in an objectively unbiased manner, any challenges to the legitimacy of the UPC. | Sep 30 02:04 |
schestowitz | Pray tell, which courts and judges would be able to handle such challenges in an unbiased manner? There is absolutely no doubt that such challenges will be raised. So is this another reason to conclude that, as currently constructed, the UPC suffers from fundamental and irredeemable flaws … including an impossibility of demonstrating compliance with the Art 6 ECHR rights of litigants to an “independent and impartial tribunal established by law” | Sep 30 02:04 |

schestowitz | Your comment is very interesting and you raise a real problem. | Sep 30 02:05 |
schestowitz | When do you state that the UPC “does not have any legal basis” are you aiming at Art 7(2)UPCA? | Sep 30 02:05 |
schestowitz | Another way of looking at it, is it possible, without amendment of Art 7(2)UPCA, to consider that the notion of legal judge is not respected should the duties of the London Section be “provisionally”transferred to Paris and/or Munich? | Sep 30 02:05 |
schestowitz | As far as judges are concerned there are quite a few of them jumping at the bit to get a post at the UPC. | Sep 30 02:05 |
schestowitz | Some of them openly complain that the delayed opening of the UPC costs them a lot of money in view of the higher wages they could get at the UPC in comparison to their national wages. | Sep 30 02:05 |
schestowitz | It is not difficult to understand why the promoters of the UPC ignore all the legal problems which the UPC faces. The only legally correct way to amend Art 7(2) UPCA is to renegotiate the location of the section of the central division. This means a new round of ratifications. | Sep 30 02:05 |
schestowitz | UPC promoters know too well that the interest for the UPC would vanish. After all, 45+ years have passed since the Luxembourg conference and it does not appear that the few supranational litigations in the EU need such a complicated thing as the UPC. | Sep 30 02:05 |
schestowitz | Not only the British legal profession has already lost out due to Brexit, but the same fate would occur to the legal profession on the continent. | Sep 30 02:05 |
schestowitz | All the efforts put into the setting up of the UPC would have been in vain and there would be no return on investment. | Sep 30 02:05 |
schestowitz | But wanting to go through the wall for the sake of a return on investment will end up with a similar result. | Sep 30 02:05 |

schestowitz | If you compare the content of the explanatory note for the second ratification with an article published by Mr Tillman (from Hogan Lowells) in GRUR Int a few months before the resemblance is baffling. | Sep 30 02:05 |
schestowitz | The whole waffling about the provisional allocation of the duties of the London Section to Munich is to be found in the article in GRUR Int. | Sep 30 02:05 |
schestowitz | Does anybody think that the countries having claimed the reallocation of the London Section (IT, NL, IR) will simply acquiesce to such a crude manoeuvre? | Sep 30 02:05 |
schestowitz | Such an absence of sense of the realities is flabbergasting. | Sep 30 02:05 |
schestowitz | It give the feeling that the promoters of the UPC think that the more fake information is repeated the more they hope it will become true. | Sep 30 02:05 |

schestowitz | “Never mind the (lack of) quality; feel the width” as the legendary seller of poor quality carpets used to say. All these worthy but legalistic objections are powerless in the face of a political will at the level of the EU, to have the UPC succeed. | Sep 30 02:05 |
schestowitz | Recall the time when the Editor of the London Times was exasperated by his journalist embedded with the British forces in the Boer War in South Africa. The war was not going well. The journalist filed a succession of reports of British defeats in battle. The readership of the newspaper was not happy at all. The Editor telegraphed his employee at the Front with a short message, namely “Send news of victories” | Sep 30 02:05 |
schestowitz | Those pushing the UPC operate in a world where the axiom “Fake it till you make it” is usually successful. As somebody on another blog thread pointed out, it will be pressure from the global titans, the bulk accumulators of portfolios of unitary patents, the so-called “national champions”, who will apply irresistible force on courts and governments, to force the UPC to work. | Sep 30 02:05 |
schestowitz | That irresistible pressure on the politicians and jurists, applied by lobbyists, will result in a political mindset that the UPC must be made to succeed. After all, as everybody knows: “Where there is a will, there is always a way”. The Little Countries will presumably be bought off, in successive rounds of the usual EU horse-trading. The SME’s are mostly not even aware what is at stake and those few who understand have no lobbying muscle. | Sep 30 02:05 |

schestowitz | Attentive, | Sep 30 21:02 |
schestowitz | There are many problems with the purported legal basis for the UPC (and its Protocols). However, I was thinking mostly of Article 3(1) of the PAP. | Sep 30 21:02 |
schestowitz | Unless and until the PAP comes into force, the UPC will not have any legal personality, and will therefore be legally incapable of employing any judges. Thus, for any judge who accepts employment by “the UPC” during the provisional application phase, an objectively justifiable fear of partiality would arise on questions that will be crucial to determining whether the current UPCA provides sound legal basis for the UPC. | Sep 30 21:02 |
schestowitz | For example, an objectively justifiable fear would arise that any such judges had already made up their minds with regard to either the legal effect of the withdrawal of a ratification, or the possibility of “rescuing” (under international law) an instrument that has not been ratified by the relevant contracting parties specified in that instrument. Both of these questions will be highly relevant to determination of the validity of the current | Sep 30 21:02 |
schestowitz | UPCA. Further, the same objective fear of partiality would apply to any judges recruited after the end of the provisional application phase. Which would leave precisely no judges of the UPC who would fit the criterion of an unbiased adjudicator on the question of the legal validity of the UPCA. | Sep 30 21:02 |
schestowitz | Thus, if things go to plan for the UPC’s promoters, the UPC will launch in circumstances where it will be impossible for any of its judges to provide an impartial hearing on crucial questions that WILL be raised by certain litigants. This would hardly inspire confidence in the UPC. Further, the serious deficiencies regarding the governance of the UPC are, over time, pretty much certain to make things even worse.

schestowitz | Dear Max Drei, | Sep 30 21:03 |
schestowitz | I understand and share your anger at the way the UPC is pushed down our throats for the benefit of very few which want to make the big buck. The usefulness of the UPC for SMEs is also one of the fake news which helped as a fig leaf to lure politicians in accepting that the UPC is something which is absolutely necessary for the benefit of Europe. | Sep 30 21:03 |
schestowitz | The contrary is true and the big beneficiaries are the big industry, but even more internationally active lawyer firms specialised in litigation. | Sep 30 21:03 |
schestowitz | Portugal and Slovenia have been bought off as an arbitration chamber was offered to them. | Sep 30 21:03 |
schestowitz | A training centre for judges has been promised to Hungary, but in view of the constitutional problems to be solved before it cannot ratify the UPCA and the centre will have to be transferred somewhere else. Here we have another problem which should be settled before the PPA enters into force and the judges are trained. | Sep 30 21:03 |
schestowitz | I cannot accept that the Rule of Law is mere “collateral damage”. | Sep 30 21:03 |
schestowitz | If the EU accepts that the UPC enters into force as it stands, then it should refrain from requesting Poland to restore the independence of justice. By accepting that the duties of the London Section of the central division is pushed around as suggested, it behaves exactly as Poland. | Sep 30 21:03 |
schestowitz | I have not yet given up the hope that in the end the rule of law will prevail. | Sep 30 21:03 |

schestowitz | The European Commission has cheated the Impact Assessment of the UPC. | Sep 30 21:03 |
schestowitz | The Harhoff 2009 study was about the “Community Patent”, not the “Unitary Patent”. | Sep 30 21:03 |
schestowitz | It was done to hide the controversial changes made in between, such as the “self-financed” aspect of the UPC, which explains why it is so expensive for SMEs. | Sep 30 21:03 |
schestowitz | This is a intentional fraud. | Sep 30 21:03 |
