schestowitzThat’s a wonderful idea. Mexico very likely would not mind taking refugees that Europe and US wars have created, no need to also take the profits Europe and US defense companies have been reaping.Sep 06 20:23
schestowitzBy the way, that would give also a good pretext to the idea terrorists could use Mexico’s border to infiltrate the US. Even more better, that would be a wonderful pretext to intervene Mexico and make half of Mexico’s population dreams of becoming a US territory true!Sep 06 20:23

schestowitzI think enough web developers know that and will defend the status quo. Sadly, many people still use so-called word processors. I just use plain text and latex if I need formatting. HTML is also good for styling, if published on the web. PDF is more like a DRM mentality....Sep 06 20:29

schestowitzSUEPO sent a letter to the delegations to inform them of the suicide of an EPO colleague. It is the fifth suicide at the EPO in 39 months, and the third one in Patent Administration (DG2). The Central Staff Committee (CSC) already sent letters on this topic on 5 December 2013, 16 September 2014 and 17 April 2015. These letters are still left unanswered. A copy of the latest letter can be found here. Sep 10 14:41

schestowitzI have heard from EPO staff that Mrs. Hardon was demoted last year by personal decision of Mr. Battistelli, on a basis that my sources consider unfair. She may now even be fired.Sep 10 15:16
schestowitzThe above PDF document, which actually contains a SUEPO flyer as well as correspondence between SUEPO and Mr. Battistelli, relates to a very sad incident: the fifth suicide of an EPO employee in 39 months. But in this regard I neither support Mr. Battistelli nor SUEPO. I agree with either one to a limited extent and mostly disagree with both.Sep 10 15:16
schestowitzMr. Battistelli -- and this is the first time for me to agree with him and it may also be the last -- is absolutely right that it was not enough for SUEPO to wait for a limited period of time before it tried to gain political mileage out of the latest suicide. Should Mr. Battistelli's representation (which I don't doubt in this particular case) be correct that the widow didn't want anyone to talk about the personal circumstances of this Sep 10 15:16
schestowitztragic incident, then SUEPO should have respected that forever, not just for two weeks.Sep 10 15:16
schestowitzThe part of Mr. Battistelli's letter that I find ridiculous is where he asks for a climate of trust for his reforms, some of which violate long-standing principles of European labor law.Sep 10 15:16
schestowitz"Sep 10 15:16
schestowitz"I know that your net salaries at the EPO may not be immediately matched by private sector employers (though it may happen if you get promoted over time). You would have to accept an initial pay cut. But money should never be the only reason to go to work. For you, the risk-reward ratio is actually much better than for patent attorneys. Patent attorneys -- who make far more money on the patent applications you process than you do, as you Sep 10 15:17
schestowitzknow -- have to invest a lot more time and money in their education, and when they start to make serious money, the likelihood is next to zero that they could reach the same income level in an engineering capacity (they'd have to get very senior management positions at large corporations).

schestowitzI have heard from EPO staff that Mrs. Hardon was demoted last year by personal decision of Mr. Battistelli, on a basis that my sources consider unfair. She may now even be fired.Sep 10 15:16
schestowitzThe above PDF document, which actually contains a SUEPO flyer as well as correspondence between SUEPO and Mr. Battistelli, relates to a very sad incident: the fifth suicide of an EPO employee in 39 months. But in this regard I neither support Mr. Battistelli nor SUEPO. I agree with either one to a limited extent and mostly disagree with both.Sep 10 15:16
schestowitzMr. Battistelli -- and this is the first time for me to agree with him and it may also be the last -- is absolutely right that it was not enough for SUEPO to wait for a limited period of time before it tried to gain political mileage out of the latest suicide. Should Mr. Battistelli's representation (which I don't doubt in this particular case) be correct that the widow didn't want anyone to talk about the personal circumstances of this Sep 10 15:16
schestowitztragic incident, then SUEPO should have respected that forever, not just for two weeks.Sep 10 15:16
schestowitzThe part of Mr. Battistelli's letter that I find ridiculous is where he asks for a climate of trust for his reforms, some of which violate long-standing principles of European labor law.Sep 10 15:16

schestowitz"I know that your net salaries at the EPO may not be immediately matched by private sector employers (though it may happen if you get promoted over time). You would have to accept an initial pay cut. But money should never be the only reason to go to work. For you, the risk-reward ratio is actually much better than for patent attorneys. Patent attorneys -- who make far more money on the patent applications you process than you do, as you Sep 10 15:17
schestowitzknow -- have to invest a lot more time and money in their education, and when they start to make serious money, the likelihood is next to zero that they could reach the same income level in an engineering capacity (they'd have to get very senior management positions at large corporations).
