schestowitzbloody waste of time here today.Feb 15 18:53
schestowitzFor the following reason:Feb 15 18:53
schestowitzDear Sir/Madam,Feb 15 18:53
schestowitzDays ago I became aware that a visitor of mine, parking at the back of my house, had received a parking ticket/fine. I was shocked by this because it's a spot that's effectively ours. We bought this house just over a year ago. Upon further investigation, as I immediately asked my next-door neighbour who works for the Manchester City Council, it turned out that I needed a permit for the guest. I was never told this before. Nobody notified Feb 15 18:53
schestowitzmyself or my wife.Feb 15 18:53
schestowitzI tried ringing up your number (specified on the ticket given), but was stuck in a loop speaking to a robot. I was unable to reach a human operator to whom I could explain this. I spent a long time trying to tackle this over the phone.Feb 15 18:53
schestowitzThis afternoon I went by foot to Town Hall and waited patiently for a long time as the lady at Customer Services checked what to do. I was eventually put on the phone speaking with someone who advised me that:Feb 15 18:53
schestowitz1. I can apply online to receive my parking permit (for a guest).Feb 15 18:53
schestowitz2. I should contact representations@manchester.gov.uk to challenge my friend's fine as it needs to be done by writing.Feb 15 18:53
schestowitzThey also told me you would put this ticket on hold while this process is ongoing.Feb 15 18:53
schestowitzMy postcode is xxxFeb 15 18:53
schestowitzMy friend's ticket ID/details are as follows:Feb 15 18:53
schestowitzPCN Number: xxxFeb 15 18:53
schestowitzServed on 08/02/2016Feb 15 18:53
schestowitzBy CEO xxxFeb 15 18:53
schestowitzI think it would be useful to clarify to people that they need a parking permit in their own house, especially if they buy the house. My friend had to go through the grievance of receiving a ticket as a guest. I have now had to spend many hours chasing people in order to rectify the matter. I don't want him to have to do any work on this as I take responsibility, albeit I don't see how I could foresee the need for a permit (to park at my Feb 15 18:54
schestowitzhouse).Feb 15 18:54
schestowitzWith kind regards and thank you for your kind consideration,Feb 15 18:54

schestowitzSoftware patents are often pretty vague and can sometimes deal with pretty generic concepts that are widely implemented (for example, the shopping cart patent).Feb 15 19:24
schestowitzMicrosoft probably has a selection of such genetic patents that could be applied to GNU/Linux distributions if Microsoft bothered. They aren't going to do so as long as everyone keeps buying computers from OEMs with Microsoft software (even if you take it off later). However, OEMs that stray too far will get brought to heel by patent threats, and since a settlement is cheaper than taking the case to court, Microsoft can patent troll theirFeb 15 19:24
schestowitzway into controlling OEMs.Feb 15 19:24
schestowitzThey apparently have several such patents that also apply to Android.Feb 15 19:24
schestowitzChances are a well funded company could fight it out all the way in the courts and get such a patent invalidated... but that would cost more than just settling.Feb 15 19:24
schestowitzIncidentally, this is why everyone was freaking out about the United States accepting software patents, and why it's a big deal when the United States tries to expand the reach of US-style intellectual property law overseas through trade deals.Feb 15 19:24
schestowitz"Feb 15 19:24
schestowitz"Feb 15 19:24
schestowitzCapitalism is just like communism except it needed a bit more time to become overly corrupt and dictatoric. It will be censored by corporations and people will be kept away from making their own businesses through court and people will use their products through social pressure(to serve as an extra lock on our door). I await the time when microsoft will be so huge that he can blackmail every one of us one by one. Or can he now?Feb 15 19:24
schestowitzWe have not much time left. There are decreasing number of governments(the last authority to keep them in bay) who can do something aganist it.Feb 15 19:24

schestowitz"Feb 17 14:06
schestowitz Statistics released by the EPO last year appear to show an increase in user satisfaction from 2013 to 2014 - see slide 21 of the presentation at the following link:Feb 17 14:06
schestowitzhttp://www.aipla.org/globalip/news/Documents/2015/EPO-U.S.%20Bar%20Partnership%20for%20Quality%20Meeting/EPO-1-TheEPO'sQualityManagementUpdate-5.12.15.pdfFeb 17 14:06
schestowitzHowever, I am struck by the information in slide 16 of that same presentation. This is because the President appears to control at least three of the steps in the quality management cycle.Feb 17 14:06
schestowitzThis leaves me with some lingering doubts about whether, if there were any evidence of a decline in quality, that evidence would ever see the light of day.Feb 17 14:07
schestowitzBut this is perhaps how it happens - taking control of all feedback / reporting mechanisms allows those at the top to pursue their own agenda, regardless of the consequences. It is therefore perhaps no accident that the financial audit at the EPO has also been completely eviscerated during the reign of the current president. With total control over release of all information on the "performance" of the Office, who could have any basis to Feb 17 14:07
schestowitzchallenge the official story?Feb 17 14:07
schestowitzSad to say, I believe that I am already seeing evidence of a worrying decline in quality at the EPO. I have been witness to too many cases where EDs (and even ODs) have clearly been inclined to go for an "easy win" - with the easiest / least burdensome course of action usually being to grant or maintain a patent.Feb 17 14:07
schestowitzIt is difficult to say whether my observations are reflective of a general trend. However, I merely observe that using "incentives" that make ODs more inclined to dismiss oppositions would certainly be a good way of generating a self-fulfilling prophesy ("Look how good the quality of our examination is - the ODs are upholding more granted patents than ever!"). If only those pesky Boards of Appeal would come to heel as well!Feb 17 14:07
schestowitzI would be interested in reader's feedback: has anyone else noticed a trend for "weak" cases to grant / survive more often, or is it just me? Feb 17 14:07

-TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-ipkitten.blogspot.com | The IPKat: Productivity Increase at the EPO: How and Why? [ http://ur1.ca/oj58c ]Feb 17 14:06
schestowitz"Feb 17 14:06
schestowitz Statistics released by the EPO last year appear to show an increase in user satisfaction from 2013 to 2014 - see slide 21 of the presentation at the following link:Feb 17 14:06
schestowitzhttp://www.aipla.org/globalip/news/Documents/2015/EPO-U.S.%20Bar%20Partnership%20for%20Quality%20Meeting/EPO-1-TheEPO'sQualityManagementUpdate-5.12.15.pdfFeb 17 14:06
schestowitzHowever, I am struck by the information in slide 16 of that same presentation. This is because the President appears to control at least three of the steps in the quality management cycle.Feb 17 14:06
schestowitzThis leaves me with some lingering doubts about whether, if there were any evidence of a decline in quality, that evidence would ever see the light of day.Feb 17 14:06
schestowitzBut this is perhaps how it happens - taking control of all feedback / reporting mechanisms allows those at the top to pursue their own agenda, regardless of the consequences. It is therefore perhaps no accident that the financial audit at the EPO has also been completely eviscerated during the reign of the current president. With total control over release of all information on the "performance" of the Office, who could have any basis to Feb 17 14:07
schestowitzchallenge the official story?Feb 17 14:07
schestowitzSad to say, I believe that I am already seeing evidence of a worrying decline in quality at the EPO. I have been witness to too many cases where EDs (and even ODs) have clearly been inclined to go for an "easy win" - with the easiest / least burdensome course of action usually being to grant or maintain a patent.Feb 17 14:07
schestowitzIt is difficult to say whether my observations are reflective of a general trend. However, I merely observe that using "incentives" that make ODs more inclined to dismiss oppositions would certainly be a good way of generating a self-fulfilling prophesy ("Look how good the quality of our examination is - the ODs are upholding more granted patents than ever!"). If only those pesky Boards of Appeal would come to heel as well!Feb 17 14:07
schestowitzI would be interested in reader's feedback: has anyone else noticed a trend for "weak" cases to grant / survive more often, or is it just me? Feb 17 14:07
