| schestowitz | "As a newly-qualified European Patent Attorney I was advised by a well-experienced in-house EPA never to use "preferably" unless the feature concerned was truly preferred, but I understood at the time that that was because they were worried about the effect the word might have, no case law was mentioned. Is there a US (or other) decision on the effect of the word "preferably"?" | Dec 30 00:06 |

| schestowitz | "Sir Robin Jacob is great. Of that there is no doubt given his continuing influence in development of IP case law, but his comments sound like the US Supreme Court's intention of not allowing the 'building blocks of innovation' to be monopolised in decisions Mayo, Alice and Myriad. The US Federal Circuit was unable to give these words any real meaning in subsequent decisions. Sir Robin has ignored the word 'commons' that previously defi | Dec 30 00:08 |
| schestowitz | ned what is shared by all humanity and could not be fenced off for private use. It is not fashionable now to talk about the commons even though the internet now connects everyone and humanity is facing hue global challenges. This is probably because the related idea of 'socialism' remains a bad word for many. However that means we have no real framework for turning good intentions into viable policies." | Dec 30 00:08 |

| schestowitz | "I was contacted by someone who has some serious tech innovation with regard to network speed. | Dec 30 00:15 |
| schestowitz | First, he went to a conference talk by xxxxxxxxxx and the presentation was about some "feature". He mentioned the simple tech behind it and 3 "thugs" moved closer to him. He went to go to the restroom and the 3 "thugs" followed him. | Dec 30 00:15 |
| schestowitz | He left. | Dec 30 00:15 |
| schestowitz | Then, he told me he was negotiating the sale of his company but each time, the buyer wanted to dispose of the employees which he was not interested in... | Dec 30 00:15 |
| schestowitz | He told me about other contracts for the sale that went south but one... | Dec 30 00:15 |
| schestowitz | He said it was a healthy 9 figure deal and he was taken aside by the "middleman" who set up the meeting, that he should really consider the sale seriously because he has a wife and child and "accidents happen". | Dec 30 00:15 |
| schestowitz | He has a military background and let them have it with his words. | Dec 30 00:15 |
| schestowitz | Between us, I always suspected... could be a little dangerous to investigate other cases but keeping my eyes and ears open. | Dec 30 00:15 |

| schestowitz | <p>The European Union is currently preparing a regulation "on horizontal cybersecurity requirements for products with digital elements" known as the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA).

It will require products to be accompanied by in | Dec 30 12:53 |

Manufacturers will need to perform risk assessments and produce technical documentation and, for critical components, have third-party audits conducted. Discovered security issues will have to be reported to European authorities within 25 hours (1). The CRA will be followed up by the Product Liability Directive (PLD) which will introduce compulsory liability for software. </p> | Dec 30 12:53 |
