schestowitz> The Bush family was a nightmare for this country. Thankfully, Jeb Bush is trailing so far behind the other candidates; he can be ruled out as the nominee. As for G.H.W. Bush, the alternative given us by the democrats was Michael Dukakis. Dukakis, who was the governor of Massachusetts, was extremely liberal and out of touch with most Americans. Bush accused Dukakis of being "a card-carrying member of the ACLU (the American Civil Union).Dec 06 01:40

schestowitzTo me some free corporate platforms are good enough to use. Email is not one of them, email is first and foremost private. I’m OK with LinkedIn, my work history is public to get job offers, might be as bad as putting my resume on a billboard and I would not mind that. Conversations with recruiters start at LinkedIn, but the follow-up is done by email. I do not mind so much even people knowing my contacts, half of them are recruiters andDec 06 16:39

schestowitz"Maybe examiners are overpaid, maybe they are not, I don't know. But what you don't understand is that whatever savings were made on them were not passed on the applicants. So where did they go? "Dec 06 16:55
-TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-ipkitten.blogspot.co.uk | The IPKat: Boards of Appeal tell AC: we were never consultedDec 06 16:55
schestowitzHow would you know the examiners are slow and not very well educated in patent law? If you were a patent attorney, the only job bearing similarity to ours, then you would probably earn better than a patent examiner. Otherwise you have no knowledge whatsoever about our work and no right to denigrate us.Dec 06 16:56
schestowitzYou cannot compare the job of an examiner spanning three fields - engineering/chemistry/medicine/etc., law, linguistics - with the job of an engineer in the industry. For instance an EPO examiner would definitely not write "priviledged" or "negligance", like you, Sir:) Is it Batistelli or Elodie Bergot writing? I´m asking this only because "negligance" would seem to be a wrong spelling done by a Frenchman/-woman.Dec 06 16:56
schestowitzThe move to Berlin, Vienna or ... Banja Luka is only a foreseen punishment for not obeying the master, not a reasonable management decision, and it´s typical for the present management style based on threats and punishments. It is one of the many solutions to invented problems at the EPO.Dec 06 16:56
schestowitzWhichever way you look at the present situation a manager allowing the social conflicts to escalate to this level, lying to the AC and asking them to take an illegal decision would be dismissed by his supervising authority in the outside world. Dec 06 16:56

MinceR142344 < oiaohm> schestowitz: its not 100 percent lie.    Apple I and Apple II were very open source.Dec 06 23:07
MinceRwhich _major_ IT company made them? :>Dec 06 23:08
MinceRalso, what was "open source" about them, exactly?Dec 06 23:08
oiaohmMinceR: Remember Apple I was a kit build and the Apple II is a prebuilt version of that kit.   So both of those had full circuit diagrams.     As well as sample source code  for application development.  Dec 07 00:23
oiaohmMinceR: Later versions of Apple machines loses the full circuit diagrams open to the public.Dec 07 00:23
oiaohm MinceR  so Apple has open source stuff when it a tactical advantage to them.Dec 07 00:24
MinceRwhat about the legal/licensing side?Dec 07 00:25
oiaohmMinceR: the kit was free to modify same with all the all the sample code.   So BSD class licenses.Dec 07 00:29
oiaohmMinceR: the thing is the next Apple after the Apple II this changes.Dec 07 00:30
oiaohmMinceR: so its not lie but it over looks the fact that Apple after the Apple II become highly protective for a long time.Dec 07 00:30
oiaohmMinceR: this is why I call it a half truth.Dec 07 00:31
MinceRwhat about looking at the kit and mass-producing clones?Dec 07 00:34
oiaohmReally its also time frame.Dec 07 00:45
oiaohmMinceR: remember early IBM XT did not protect the hardware design this is why we got PC clones.Dec 07 00:46
MinceRmaking PC and XT closer to "open source" than crApple shitDec 07 00:46
oiaohmThe time frame Apple and Apple II are from protecting the design and all the source code was out.   All they normally protected was the core firmware.Dec 07 00:47
oiaohmMinceR: apple IIe circuit diagrams and other thing stated disappearing.Dec 07 00:47
oiaohmstated startedDec 07 00:47
oiaohmAlso Apple IIe is when Apple starts protecting designs.Dec 07 00:49
oiaohmMinceR: there is a very short window at the start where apple has open sourcing behaviour.Dec 07 00:50
oiaohmIf Apple had draw a time line of open source behaviour it really does not look good.Dec 07 00:50

schestowitzExactly - mind you, it’s almost impossible to get them to use t’bird either. They’re all wedded to the gmail interface as what they know. The other problem is that most use mobile/tablet devices a lot for mail and trying to keep keys synced up across a laptop and device(s) is a nightmare.

-TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-ipkitten.blogspot.co.uk | The IPKat: Boards of Appeal tell AC: we were never consultedDec 08 01:44
schestowitz"    The idea that any change to the BoA will take decades overlooks one thing - board members are not being replaced already and current contracts are for 5 years. To me that means the whole of DG3 could be removed in 5 years. Certainly if the retiring ones are not replaced (or those who won't go to Vienna), then a significant effect will be produced in a very short time whether the non-EU patent states like it or not."Dec 08 01:44

schestowitz"back in 1973 when the EPC was being written, a European Patent Court was part of the plan"Dec 08 01:45
schestowitzThat was the Community Patent Convention. Two texts exist, one from 1975 and one from 1989.Dec 08 01:45
schestowitzSome background information in this paper, which helped me to find:Dec 08 01:45
schestowitzConvention for the Europeant patent for the common market (1975 text)Dec 08 01:45
schestowitzAgreement relating to Community patents (1989 text)Dec 08 01:45
schestowitzI don't think the 1975 text (I have yet to read it) provided for an appeal against BOA decisions. That was too late already (EPC 1973 already having been adopted) and it would have made little sense in view of the mismatch between EC member states and EPC contracting states.Dec 08 01:45
schestowitzI believe that during the drafting of the EPC further court systems have been considered. Dec 08 01:45

schestowitz> 10 items per day. It's always possible to go back and retrospectively read things. The goal is to make as much info publicly available for the willing reader. <Dec 08 10:03
schestowitz> Dec 08 10:03
schestowitz> It depends on your objective, of course. Is it about writing for the sake of writing like "ars gratia artis" (though the company that used that one in its logo was profit-oriented), or do you want to be an effective influencer of developments at the EPO(rg)? For the former, your approach makes sense. So if in 200 or 300 years some historian looks at the EPO(rg) stories, he'll be grateful. But the kinds of people who make the decisions Dec 08 10:03
schestowitzthere, both inside the EPO(rg) and at the level of national ministries, European Commission etc., are very, very busy.Dec 08 10:03
schestowitzYes, I was told this before. My approach is different. Right now I'm drowning in information I just must put out there. Omission is not acceptable given that I need evidence to be up there for me to link to later.Dec 08 10:03
schestowitz> That "willing reader" is elusive in my experience. The only readers I had who knew no limit in terms of how much time they would spend reading my posts were the lawyers (inhouse and outside) about whoses cases I wrote, and even they didn't all read it but only some members of those legal terms (based on my Google Analytics stats; I can see the names of companies, law firms etc. there).Dec 08 10:03
schestowitzInfluence is a term lobbyists may use. I view this differently.Dec 08 10:03
schestowitz> I once got an anonymous email from one of those Wall Street a**holes who complained that I didn't get right to the point on some Motorola story at a time when those guys were just interested in the closing of the deal. Well, my objective was to influence various proceedings related to SEPs, not to serve Wall Street. (I did spend some time on $800/hr. phone calls with Wall Street guys, and I even stopped that early last year because I Dec 08 10:03
schestowitzonly like about 1% of those people and wanted to focus on something else.) So just like you, I also don't accomodate everyone's request for brevity and focus. But I think you're too infatuated with the act of writing itself and you now have the unique opportunity to be a campaigner-writer rather than just a writer. You can make a difference if you do it right. That's why I'm telling you this. Otherwise I wouldn't have to care.Dec 08 10:03
schestowitz> Dec 08 10:03
schestowitz> Best regards,Dec 08 10:03
schestowitzAs I already have a job and am not seeking income from my writing, this doesn't bother me much. I don't want to be influenced by money when I write. It just poisons the writing, even subconsciously.Dec 08 10:03

schestowitzIf all the King's horses and all the King's men were powerless to put Humpty Dumpty together again, it is rather naive to suppose that all of Europe's private practice European Patent Institute membership, even when acting in unison, in chorus, in concert, can do anything to arrest the precipitate fall of the EPO. Their whingeing protests can easily be dismissed by the pols as mere naked self-interest.Dec 08 15:36
schestowitzConversely, if their international corporate clients protest en masse, that the demise of the EPO is too high a Price to pay for the UPC, that protest might count for something, and so influence the Commission, and some AC Member States. But that's just not going to happen is it? And precisely because it just ain't happening, the pols continue to press on, Full Speed Ahead, with their plan for an unimpeded free run for the UPC.Dec 08 15:36

schestowitzThe missing (unpublished) circulars clearly show that the EPO is on a par with other leading international organisations in terms of the transparency of its internal regulatory framework, but not on par with regulations regarding respect of human rights.Dec 09 03:44
schestowitzCirculars 347 and 355 have been under scrutiny of some Higher Court in the low countries which found that they don’t comply with basic human right, whereas the service regulations of this international organisation, in the preamble, state that human right shall be respected.Dec 09 03:44
schestowitzSaid higher court found that the claims dependency was not respected but high pressure is put on the low countries to reverse this decision because otherwise there will be less highly qualified people in the low countries, they will be moved to the high countries in Bavaria and Austria.Dec 09 03:44

schestowitz The EPO has issued a notice revising the PACE procedure (Procedure for Accelerated Conduct of Examination) with effect from 1 January 2016. The PACE programme is a means for applicants for European patents to speed up prosecution of their applications which can otherwise sometimes move at a somewhat glacial - er - pace. Beyond being a useful summary of existing practice, there’s also something new, says Darren.""Dec 09 03:45

schestowitz> Thank you for getting in touch and I must apologise for not having done so before running the first story. The item was based on various German language news cuttings that I was sent and pages from the SUEPO websites, but I see it was clearly originally your work. I've had a read of your recent blogs, as well as the coverage elsewhere. Please do let me know when/where the BBC report appears.Dec 10 05:20
schestowitz> Dec 10 05:20
schestowitz> I'd be very keen to run a follow up covering the appalling way EPO have responded to you. Please do send any links/documents you think I need to see my way. I've met David Allen Green and respect his work - if he's available to discuss tomorrow, I'll be in the office all day. Or if he'd like to send a comment, I'm on this email address. Dec 10 05:20
schestowitzHi,Dec 10 05:20
schestowitzJust to let you know, 7 hours from now there will be another massive protest in Munich. Last week's two protests attracted nearly 3,000 staff in total (in two sites), hence nearly half of all the staff (despite the risk of reprisal).Dec 10 05:20

schestowitz> I obviously protect my sources, so I will never say whom I was in contact with or not unless someone elects to talk about it or authorizes me to talk about it. What I can say, however, is that no one, from SUEPO or not, ever suggested I should allege corruption of AC delegates.Dec 10 05:24
schestowitzyes, I found that part so bizarre. Never seen ANYONE alleging so... ever. I think that everyone at the AC is just afraid of taking the first move, for fear of reprisal from colleagues or from Team Battistelli. See how he treats delegates who don't agree 100% with his plans and policies. The same fear factor now discourages staff reps from doing all sorts of things they would otherwise do.Dec 10 05:24

schestowitzThe replacement of the chairwoman is probably related to the change in the business distribution scheme of the EBA:Dec 10 14:38
schestowitzUntil 30/06: M-B T-D first legal member (=chair pursuant to RPEAB);Dec 10 14:38

schestowitzG2301/15, page 3, point VI.: The decision concerning the composition of the EBA was taken on 30 June 2015, but the corresponding letter dates 2 July 2015. Hence, it was probably argued that the business distribution scheme from 01/07 has to be applied.Dec 10 14:38
schestowitzThe fact that M-B T-D is the only chairWOMAN before I. B. in the list of legal members and could still take part in the decision after stepping back from the chair would also support the assumption made above.Dec 10 14:38

schestowitz"“To pretend that I have created a climate of terror, that people are living in a dictatorship, where they are terrorized is just ridiculous,” Battistelli told POLITICO (EPA)"Dec 10 23:40
schestowitz"Dec 10 23:40
schestowitzUnion leaders wrote to the patent office’s executive body, the Administrative Council, in September about the latest suicide.Dec 10 23:40
schestowitz“A married man, 42-years-old and father of two, committed suicide at the end of August on the last day of his holidays,” read the letter. “Staff representatives have repeatedly warned … that a combination of too-high work demands coupled with hasty reforms and brutal management methods have generated what we consider a toxic work environment.”Dec 10 23:40
schestowitzThe union says it is crucial to carry out an independent investigation, arguing that the number of suicides is high given the office’s roughly 7,000-strong staff.Dec 10 23:40
schestowitzHowever, the EPO opposes this and in March blocked an investigation by the Dutch labor inspectorate after a suicide at its branch in The Hague. Battistelli said local police investigated each suicide, including in this case, and that national authorities had no power to inspect the office.Dec 10 23:40
schestowitz"Dec 10 23:40
schestowitz"Dec 10 23:41
schestowitz“The people who are concerned are correct,” said Arensman, who was not familiar with the details of the EPO case. “Even in [geographical] regions of around 250,000 people you wouldn’t come to such a rate.”Dec 10 23:41
schestowitzAfter hearing the details of the situation at the patent office, she compared it to the France Telecom case — now called Orange France — where 35 employees committed suicide between 2008 and 2009, a period during which the company was privatized and restructured. The company employed roughly 100,000 people in France in 2009.Dec 10 23:41
schestowitz"Dec 10 23:41
schestowitz"Three other suicide experts contacted by POLITICO urged caution in interpreting statistics, saying firm conclusions can’t be drawn without knowledge of the individual cases. However, two described the figures as high and supported an investigation."Dec 10 23:42
schestowitz"The press office questioned the experts’ capacity to comment without knowing the full details of the suicides, which can’t be disclosed for privacy reasons. It also said the European Patent Office updated its human resources strategy in 2014 to improve working conditions and had a dedicated service of health professionals and psychologists to counter “pyscho-social risks.”"Dec 10 23:42
schestowitz"Dec 10 23:43
schestowitzIn June, the German newspaper Süddeutsche Zeitung reported that a computer in the EPO’s Munich office was equipped with spyware — a particularly sensitive issue in Germany given the history of surveillance in the Nazi era and in communist times in East Germany.Dec 10 23:43
schestowitzBattistelli said spyware had been put in the computer because someone was using it to circulate harassing emails. That person turned out to be the alleged neo-Nazi who now faces dismissal, the EPO president said.Dec 10 23:43

schestowitz The new proposed unitary patent will apply equally across most EU states and establish a unitary patent court, whereas at present EPO patents can be challenged in national courts.Dec 10 23:44
schestowitzBattitstelli’s reforms responded to the need to adjust to these new rules and stay competitive with rival patent organizations in the U.S. and Japan, according to EPO spokesperson Rainer Osterwalder.Dec 10 23:44
schestowitz"Dec 10 23:44
schestowitz"“Things like this are clear signals of strain,” said the source. “There will be more suicides. The question is not if, but when.”"Dec 10 23:44
schestowitz"This is a good piece of solid restrained reporting. Well done."Dec 10 23:45

schestowitzWell, that is typically of EU institutions: EPO clerks of different nationalities thrashing it out. It is usual that bullying is commonplace in these EU institutions, in particular, when Germans and French clash, because the Germans seem to be the know-it-alls…Dec 10 23:47
schestowitzGiven that these patent clerks earn above the average, I would not pay too much attention about this toss. And fighting these Unions, who have obviously no legality, would be right. given the exorbitant pay an employee receives. Anyone with an affiliation to a Union should face the sack. These Unions can really sour the atmosphere in these institutions. Alternatively, the patent office in Munich should be closed, and the EU Parliament in Dec 10 23:47

r_schestowitz"Dec 12 23:42
r_schestowitzThe EPO has many good people, many experts who regret the race to the bottom, but as an institution, it is rotten. Its purpose has changed from promoting innovation to making money off innovation. Good patents help innovation. Bad patents just tax it. So when the EPO systematically weakens patent criteria, and grants bad patents on a huge scale, you know something's very wrong.Dec 12 23:42
r_schestowitz Reform means getting democratic control over patent policy. The European patent system must come under control of the European Parliament. It's not enough to ask for good patents, we need a good patent system. And that means good national patent systems plus a good EU-level patent system.Dec 12 23:42
r_schestowitzOf course the EPO don't want to go! Patents are a huge business. But the EPO's opinion does not count. They don't have any right to exist. They are supposed to do a job, and since they can't do it, they should be kicked out.Dec 12 23:42
r_schestowitzDo we control our future patent system, or does it control us? That's the question. Dec 12 23:42

schestowitz"Maybe examiners are overpaid, maybe they are not, I don't know. But what you don't understand is that whatever savings were made on them were not passed on the applicants. So where did they go? "Dec 06 16:55
-TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-ipkitten.blogspot.co.uk | The IPKat: Boards of Appeal tell AC: we were never consultedDec 06 16:55
schestowitzHow would you know the examiners are slow and not very well educated in patent law? If you were a patent attorney, the only job bearing similarity to ours, then you would probably earn better than a patent examiner. Otherwise you have no knowledge whatsoever about our work and no right to denigrate us.Dec 06 16:56
schestowitzYou cannot compare the job of an examiner spanning three fields - engineering/chemistry/medicine/etc., law, linguistics - with the job of an engineer in the industry. For instance an EPO examiner would definitely not write "priviledged" or "negligance", like you, Sir:) Is it Batistelli or Elodie Bergot writing? I´m asking this only because "negligance" would seem to be a wrong spelling done by a Frenchman/-woman.Dec 06 16:56
schestowitzThe move to Berlin, Vienna or ... Banja Luka is only a foreseen punishment for not obeying the master, not a reasonable management decision, and it´s typical for the present management style based on threats and punishments. It is one of the many solutions to invented problems at the EPO.Dec 06 16:56
schestowitzWhichever way you look at the present situation a manager allowing the social conflicts to escalate to this level, lying to the AC and asking them to take an illegal decision would be dismissed by his supervising authority in the outside world. Dec 06 16:56

schestowitzExactly - mind you, it’s almost impossible to get them to use t’bird either. They’re all wedded to the gmail interface as what they know. The other problem is that most use mobile/tablet devices a lot for mail and trying to keep keys synced up across a laptop and device(s) is a nightmare.

schestowitzThe problem is to work out how to have keys kept locally (for end-to-end) with a seamless way to sync across devices (the way bookmarks etc are in FF) and an interface which looks like google.

-TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-ipkitten.blogspot.co.uk | The IPKat: Boards of Appeal tell AC: we were never consultedDec 08 01:44
schestowitz"    The idea that any change to the BoA will take decades overlooks one thing - board members are not being replaced already and current contracts are for 5 years. To me that means the whole of DG3 could be removed in 5 years. Certainly if the retiring ones are not replaced (or those who won't go to Vienna), then a significant effect will be produced in a very short time whether the non-EU patent states like it or not."Dec 08 01:44

schestowitz"back in 1973 when the EPC was being written, a European Patent Court was part of the plan"Dec 08 01:45
schestowitzThat was the Community Patent Convention. Two texts exist, one from 1975 and one from 1989.Dec 08 01:45
schestowitzSome background information in this paper, which helped me to find:Dec 08 01:45
schestowitzConvention for the Europeant patent for the common market (1975 text)Dec 08 01:45
schestowitzAgreement relating to Community patents (1989 text)Dec 08 01:45
schestowitzI don't think the 1975 text (I have yet to read it) provided for an appeal against BOA decisions. That was too late already (EPC 1973 already having been adopted) and it would have made little sense in view of the mismatch between EC member states and EPC contracting states.Dec 08 01:45
schestowitzI believe that during the drafting of the EPC further court systems have been considered. Dec 08 01:45

schestowitz> Dec 08 10:03
schestowitz> It depends on your objective, of course. Is it about writing for the sake of writing like "ars gratia artis" (though the company that used that one in its logo was profit-oriented), or do you want to be an effective influencer of developments at the EPO(rg)? For the former, your approach makes sense. So if in 200 or 300 years some historian looks at the EPO(rg) stories, he'll be grateful. But the kinds of people who make the decisions Dec 08 10:03
schestowitzthere, both inside the EPO(rg) and at the level of national ministries, European Commission etc., are very, very busy.Dec 08 10:03
schestowitzYes, I was told this before. My approach is different. Right now I'm drowning in information I just must put out there. Omission is not acceptable given that I need evidence to be up there for me to link to later.Dec 08 10:03
schestowitz> That "willing reader" is elusive in my experience. The only readers I had who knew no limit in terms of how much time they would spend reading my posts were the lawyers (inhouse and outside) about whoses cases I wrote, and even they didn't all read it but only some members of those legal terms (based on my Google Analytics stats; I can see the names of companies, law firms etc. there).Dec 08 10:03
schestowitzInfluence is a term lobbyists may use. I view this differently.Dec 08 10:03
schestowitz> I once got an anonymous email from one of those Wall Street a**holes who complained that I didn't get right to the point on some Motorola story at a time when those guys were just interested in the closing of the deal. Well, my objective was to influence various proceedings related to SEPs, not to serve Wall Street. (I did spend some time on $800/hr. phone calls with Wall Street guys, and I even stopped that early last year because I Dec 08 10:03
schestowitzonly like about 1% of those people and wanted to focus on something else.) So just like you, I also don't accomodate everyone's request for brevity and focus. But I think you're too infatuated with the act of writing itself and you now have the unique opportunity to be a campaigner-writer rather than just a writer. You can make a difference if you do it right. That's why I'm telling you this. Otherwise I wouldn't have to care.Dec 08 10:03

schestowitzIf all the King's horses and all the King's men were powerless to put Humpty Dumpty together again, it is rather naive to suppose that all of Europe's private practice European Patent Institute membership, even when acting in unison, in chorus, in concert, can do anything to arrest the precipitate fall of the EPO. Their whingeing protests can easily be dismissed by the pols as mere naked self-interest.Dec 08 15:36
schestowitzConversely, if their international corporate clients protest en masse, that the demise of the EPO is too high a Price to pay for the UPC, that protest might count for something, and so influence the Commission, and some AC Member States.

schestowitz"Dec 10 23:40
schestowitzUnion leaders wrote to the patent office’s executive body, the Administrative Council, in September about the latest suicide.Dec 10 23:40
schestowitz“A married man, 42-years-old and father of two, committed suicide at the end of August on the last day of his holidays,” read the letter. “Staff representatives have repeatedly warned … that a combination of too-high work demands coupled with hasty reforms and brutal management methods have generated what we consider a toxic work environment.”Dec 10 23:40
schestowitzThe union says it is crucial to carry out an independent investigation, arguing that the number of suicides is high given the office’s roughly 7,000-strong staff.Dec 10 23:40
schestowitzHowever, the EPO opposes this and in March blocked an investigation by the Dutch labor inspectorate after a suicide at its branch in The Hague. Battistelli said local police investigated each suicide, including in this case, and that national authorities had no power to inspect the office.Dec 10 23:40
schestowitz"Dec 10 23:40
schestowitz"Dec 10 23:41
schestowitz“The people who are concerned are correct,” said Arensman, who was not familiar with the details of the EPO case. “Even in [geographical] regions of around 250,000 people you wouldn’t come to such a rate.”Dec 10 23:41
schestowitzAfter hearing the details of the situation at the patent office, she compared it to the France Telecom case — now called Orange France — where 35 employees committed suicide between 2008 and 2009, a period during which the company was privatized and restructured. The company employed roughly 100,000 people in France in 2009.Dec 10 23:41
schestowitz"Dec 10 23:41
schestowitz"Three other suicide experts contacted by POLITICO urged caution in interpreting statistics, saying firm conclusions can’t be drawn without knowledge of the individual cases. However, two described the figures as high and supported an investigation."Dec 10 23:42
schestowitz"The press office questioned the experts’ capacity to comment without knowing the full details of the suicides, which can’t be disclosed for privacy reasons. It also said the European Patent Office updated its human resources strategy in 2014 to improve working conditions and had a dedicated service of health professionals and psychologists to counter “pyscho-social risks.”"Dec 10 23:42

schestowitzIn June, the German newspaper Süddeutsche Zeitung reported that a computer in the EPO’s Munich office was equipped with spyware — a particularly sensitive issue in Germany given the history of surveillance in the Nazi era and in communist times in East Germany.Dec 10 23:43
schestowitzBattistelli said spyware had been put in the computer because someone was using it to circulate harassing emails. That person turned out to be the alleged neo-Nazi who now faces dismissal, the EPO president said.Dec 10 23:43

schestowitz"Dec 10 23:44
schestowitz"“Things like this are clear signals of strain,” said the source. “There will be more suicides. The question is not if, but when.”"Dec 10 23:44

schestowitzWell, that is typically of EU institutions: EPO clerks of different nationalities thrashing it out. It is usual that bullying is commonplace in these EU institutions, in particular, when Germans and French clash, because the Germans seem to be the know-it-alls…Dec 10 23:47
schestowitzGiven that these patent clerks earn above the average, I would not pay too much attention about this toss. And fighting these Unions, who have obviously no legality, would be right. given the exorbitant pay an employee receives. Anyone with an affiliation to a Union should face the sack. These Unions can really sour the atmosphere in these institutions. Alternatively, the patent office in Munich should be closed, and the EU Parliament in Dec 10 23:47

r_schestowitz"Dec 12 23:42
r_schestowitzThe EPO has many good people, many experts who regret the race to the bottom, but as an institution, it is rotten. Its purpose has changed from promoting innovation to making money off innovation. Good patents help innovation. Bad patents just tax it. So when the EPO systematically weakens patent criteria, and grants bad patents on a huge scale, you know something's very wrong.Dec 12 23:42
r_schestowitz Reform means getting democratic control over patent policy. The European patent system must come under control of the European Parliament. It's not enough to ask for good patents, we need a good patent system. And that means good national patent systems plus a good EU-level patent system.Dec 12 23:42
r_schestowitzOf course the EPO don't want to go! Patents are a huge business. But the EPO's opinion does not count. They don't have any right to exist. They are supposed to do a job, and since they can't do it, they should be kicked out.Dec 12 23:42
r_schestowitzDo we control our future patent system, or does it control us? That's the question. Dec 12 23:42
