schestowitz"Libraries should reject publications they don’t own.

schestowitz" We do not know what was written in the letter, but hard to imagine that it was anything that a true judge could have considered a serious threat. Was there a bullet in the envelope? You know judges are the guys in whose honour places are named in Sicilian and other towns. People who lived in army camps and moved about with bodyguards. These people in Munich do not know what a threat is and what are the only two ways to reply: Jun 21 19:56

schestowitzResignation or ignoring it which in this case would have been the only dignified answer. These guys have definitely proven they aint no judges. They therefore do not fullfill the judicial role required under the EHRC or the constituition of most member states. Karlsruhe will have to take this into account later this year. "Jun 21 19:56

schestowitzI can unequivocally say that Team Fortress 2 runs better on my current Linux system, than it did on the Windows system I had here (which had “better” hardware).Jun 21 22:21
schestowitzMy current Linux machine has no separate graphics card, it’s an AMD APU. The windows machine I had was geared for gaming - It had a Radeon HD (80-something) gfx with a Core-i3 cpu.Jun 21 22:21
schestowitz    and TF2 runs better on the linux box.Jun 21 22:21
schestowitz    I played LotRO on that Core-i3 and it ran better in WINE, than it did natively on Windows - 'splain that.Jun 21 22:21
schestowitz    (caveat: I’m referring to the graphics and the gameplay once the game gets going. It took some serious kung-fu to get LotRO running in wine - no thanks to turbine or akamai - but eventually I did and I played like that for almost a year on that machine, it was glorious)Jun 21 22:21
schestowitz    Older games, like KotOR and KotOR2, which simply would not run in Windows 7 before, ran in WINE like they were designed for it, widescreen and all.Jun 21 22:21
schestowitz    (Again, installing can be a bit bothersome, but then this is not software that was intended to be run like this)Jun 21 22:21
schestowitzThere is no doubt in my mind that the only problem is that there are not enough “mainstream” titles for Linux.Jun 21 22:21
schestowitz    But then, that is kind of the way we like it, no? Maybe the time has come for #FreeSoftware games to take on the giants and kick 'em in the nads like we all know they could …Jun 21 22:21

schestowitz RE: These guys have definitely proven they aint no judges. They therefore do not fullfill the judicial role required under the EHRC or the constituition of most member states.Jun 21 22:22
schestowitzIn case you happen to mean the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), the Technical Board of Appeal and Enlarged Board of Appeal are the only exiting review/appeal bodies for everybody binding in Europe-38-Countries decisions, that is, patent monopolies. There is no alternative body covering all functions of the TBoA/EBoA and no plans for one. This is about the role. Jun 21 22:22

schestowitzObviously, don't expect the Office to publish them ...Jun 22 20:20
schestowitz"Jun 22 20:20
schestowitz"Since the hearing was public, it would seem logical that the decision (and reasoning) would be public. Of course, in camera discussions would be excluded but it would be likely that some people would/could be concerned in advance about the scope of disclosed information relating to third parties? Perhaps sufficiently concerned as to 'advise' the EBoA about what they should disclose and not? I'm intrigued. "Jun 22 20:21
schestowitz" What one would definitely expect from the EBoA is that it considers whether the accused judge really is the dangerous, armed Nazi propagandist depicted by BB in several public interventions and newspapers to justify the immediate house ban imposed upon him since December 2014. If not, they should absolutely exonerate him publicly from such charges. "Jun 22 20:21
schestowitz"To what extent is the EBoA (or any board) able to function as a court? I'm not clear what their ability is to hear witnesses and what the consequence of perjury is. Can they refer such cases (and I'm not suggesting that is relevant here) to local authorities? Would they be able to require witnesses to make affidavits before local authorities? I ask this only with regard to the EBoA's ability to make statements of innocence or guilt. I Jun 22 20:23

schestowitzXXII. In addition to the submissions of the Petitioner, on 6 june 2016, the Chairman of the AC sent a letter directly to the Chair of the Enlarged Board expressing general reservations in respect of the decision to hold the oral procedings of June 2016 in public. Further, he asked for confirmation that the fgile would not be made available to anyone other than the members of the Enlarged Board in its present composition.Jun 24 02:40
schestowitzIf I could attempt to rephrase this: Mr. Jesper Kongstad demanded that the EBOA reach a decision based on facts and evidence which is not made available to the other party, and such facts and evidence being provided by the President who isn't and cannot be a party to the proceedings.Jun 24 02:40

schestowitz"    There are at least two Vice-Presidents in the management team and the chairman of the AC who could have warned the President that the letter he wrote to the Enlarged Board is violating judicial independence. But I am afraid that he did not ask them because he knows always better. Perhaps they thought also that it is better to let the President shoot in his own foot again. For Battistelli it is now high ¨Time to Say Goodbye¨."Jun 24 02:42
schestowitz"Jun 24 02:43
schestowitzFurther, he asked for confirmation that the file would not be made available to anyone other than the members of the Enlarged Board in its present composition.Jun 24 02:43
schestowitzThis is not Kongstadt speaking here, this is His Master's Voice - why would the Chairman of the AC - or the AC itself - have any interest in keeping the file secret? Did they not say that "justice must be seen to be done"? - unless they knew that it's disclosure may damage the President - and them all.Jun 24 02:43

schestowitzMr. Kongstad should have realised what he signed up to with Mr. Battistelli. Who ruled the INPI with iron fist as well, that's no secret.Jun 24 11:35
schestowitzThe AC realised they had to change working culture with the EPO. Bit by bit or the hard way? They chose the last option, conciously, and some members of the AC still support that option. Jun 24 11:35

schestowitz"Jun 24 11:37
schestowitz BB's words usually implied that the creation of the Unitary Patent was justification for his actions, and seemed to be one of the reasons why the AC put up with him, beginning with his secret contract.Jun 24 11:37
schestowitzNow that the Brexit meteorite hit the planet, and the UP looks at least severely compromised, will the AC change course? And what will BB do? Hide in a corner and sit out the storm?Jun 24 11:37
schestowitzThe trade, foreign, and justice ministers of the EU28/EPC38 will undoubtedly have more pressing priorities than to try to salvage this comparatively minor agreement... (If the text of treaty has to be ratified, then the ratification cycle will have to start all over again).Jun 24 11:38

schestowitz"Jun 24 11:38
schestowitz So now we know. El Presidente was of the view that the EBoa had no authority to conduct their own fact-finding exercise.Jun 24 11:38
schestowitzTo quote the QC's opinion upon which the President relied:Jun 24 11:38
schestowitz"19. It will be recalled that the role of the EBOA under Article 23 EPC is to make a proposal on the removal from office, having regard to the fact that this sanction has been recommended by the DC and endorsed by the AC. This article does not confer an appellate or investigative power, let alone a free standing and further fact finding mandate. The nature and extent of the evidence already available to the EBOA means that the attendance Jun 24 11:38
schestowitzof these witnesses is not necessary for the Article 23(1) EPC proceedings to be conducted fairly and effectively...Jun 24 11:38
schestowitz21. It is quite inappropriate that a full re-hearing of the facts take place on 14-16 June; there are no vires in this forum to conduct an appeal process nor indeed to recommence an investigation; accordingly, the personal presence of any witnesses from the Office will not be required or authorised by the President".Jun 24 11:38
schestowitzNice response from the EBoA, though:Jun 24 11:38
schestowitz"2. ... As it concerns a member of the judicial body of the EPO, who enjoys the guarantee of judicial independence pursuant to Article 23(3) EPC, this decision must itself also be arrived at in accordance with the principle of judicial independence pursuant to Article 23(3) EPC.Jun 24 11:38
schestowitz3. Neither the European Patent Convention nor the Rules of Procedure of the Enlarged Board of Appeal foresee these proceedings as an appeal from a decision or opinion in the disciplinary proceedings or establish these proceedings as a legal or factual part of the disciplinary proceedings governed by Article 11(4) EPC and the ServRegs. It is rather for the Enlarged Board to establish, to its own satisfaction, by an examination of the factsJun 24 11:38
schestowitz evidence and arguments, whether it is in a position to make the requested proposal for removal from office...Jun 24 11:38
schestowitz4. ... the adversarial nature of the proceedings aims, as is usual under the rule of law in democratic countries, at guaranteeing the Respondent a fair trial and not at undermining the power of the disciplinary authority to take a final decision".Jun 24 11:38
schestowitzOn these grounds, the EBoA's reasoning appears to be perfectly sound. However, for reasons that I fail to comprehend, the QC's opinion does not appear to grasp the intent behind Article 23(3) EPC:Jun 24 11:38
schestowitz"In their decisions the members of the Boards shall not be bound by any instructions and shall comply only with the provisions of this Convention".Jun 24 11:38
schestowitzIn essence, it appears that the President position's was that the EBoA should simply accept (unchallenged) the findings of the IU and the DC, i.e. that misconduct had been committed, and so should rubber-stamp those findings by proposing removal of member concerned. However, it is impossible to construe this position in any way that could be remotely compatible with Article 23(3) EPC - as being unable to conduct your own fact-finding Jun 24 11:38
schestowitzexercise (and instead merely being forced to accept the findings of another party) clearly amounts to being "bound by instructions". To suggest otherwise is simply not credible.Jun 24 11:38
schestowitzSo does this mean that there is now yet another ground to demand BB's removal from office, namely incompetence? I very much hope that the QC concerned did not independently arrive at the views expressed in their opinion... if so, then I hope that it is no one that I know! Jun 24 11:38

schestowitz"Jun 24 11:39
schestowitz There are two other points that I would like to make.Jun 24 11:39
schestowitzFirstly, whilst I suspected before that it might be happening, it seems increasingly likely that some comments are being posted on IPKat on behalf of the EPO management. A particularly suspicious comments is from "independent", posting at 09:29 on 18 June:Jun 24 11:39
schestowitzhttp://ipkitten.blogspot.co.uk/2016/06/procedure-to-remove-board-of-appeal.html?showComment=1466238561927#c8753686057518486460Jun 24 11:39

schestowitzIn hindsight, the points made in that post now look a lot like someone with full knowledge of the events on 14 June getting the President's reaction in first. I hope that I am mistaken, though, as it would not be the most dignified way for the management of the EPO to conduct its business.Jun 24 11:39
schestowitzSecondly, it appears that we have now reached a stalemate. The EBoA has closed the proceedings. It also appears extremely unlikely that they will hear the case again ("55. In the present case the Enlarged Board has made a final decision that it does not make a proposal for removal from office of the respondent"). However, they have the power neither to lift the "house ban" nor to fully reinstate the member concerned. I cannot imagine BB Jun 24 11:39
schestowitzvoluntarily taking those actions, but who could possibly force him to do so? One would imagine the AC, but he has ignored their explicit instructions before (as well as instructions from the EBoA regarding publication of certain decisions).Jun 24 11:39
schestowitzIs the only course of action now to lift his immunity? I imagine that if this were to happen, which I admit is unlikely, then there could be a surge of cases filed at the courts (including alleged defamation of the member of the BoA who was the subject of the proceedings). Jun 24 11:39

schestowitz Interested_Reader says:Jun 24 11:41
schestowitzThe IMHO real "slap in BB's face" is in Points 1 to 3 of the reasoning. The EBoA makes it crystal clear that for proceedings held in front of it, it is entitled to gather facts and evidence on its own motion in order to take a decision to its own satisfaction, independently from any disciplinary proceedings under Art. 12a(8) RPEBA.Jun 24 11:41
schestowitzThese are the points telling the President that his opinion of "you're just to propose dismissal for the reasons that the IU of mine has told you" is null and void and that he is the one that does not understand the EPC. The EBoA could also have said: "We're not your sock puppets."Jun 24 11:41

schestowitz" We do not know what was written in the letter, but hard to imagine that it was anything that a true judge could have considered a serious threat. Was there a bullet in the envelope? You know judges are the guys in whose honour places are named in Sicilian and other towns. People who lived in army camps and moved about with bodyguards. These people in Munich do not know what a threat is and what are the only two ways to reply: Jun 21 19:56

schestowitzResignation or ignoring it which in this case would have been the only dignified answer. These guys have definitely proven they aint no judges. They therefore do not fullfill the judicial role required under the EHRC or the constituition of most member states. Karlsruhe will have to take this into account later this year. "Jun 21 19:56

schestowitzIn case you happen to mean the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), the Technical Board of Appeal and Enlarged Board of Appeal are the only exiting review/appeal bodies for everybody binding in Europe-38-Countries decisions, that is, patent monopolies. There is no alternative body covering all functions of the TBoA/EBoA and no plans for one. This is about the role. Jun 21 22:22

schestowitz Shall we expect the EBA to issue a decision based on what happened and/or minutes of the hearings? Maybe in time for the next meeting of the AC?Jun 22 20:20
schestowitzObviously, don't expect the Office to publish them ...Jun 22 20:20
schestowitz"Jun 22 20:20
schestowitz"Since the hearing was public, it would seem logical that the decision (and reasoning) would be public. Of course, in camera discussions would be excluded but it would be likely that some people would/could be concerned in advance about the scope of disclosed information relating to third parties? Perhaps sufficiently concerned as to 'advise' the EBoA about what they should disclose and not? I'm intrigued. "Jun 22 20:21
schestowitz" What one would definitely expect from the EBoA is that it considers whether the accused judge really is the dangerous, armed Nazi propagandist depicted by BB in several public interventions and newspapers to justify the immediate house ban imposed upon him since December 2014. If not, they should absolutely exonerate him publicly from such charges. "Jun 22 20:21
schestowitz"To what extent is the EBoA (or any board) able to function as a court? I'm not clear what their ability is to hear witnesses and what the consequence of perjury is. Can they refer such cases (and I'm not suggesting that is relevant here) to local authorities? Would they be able to require witnesses to make affidavits before local authorities? I ask this only with regard to the EBoA's ability to make statements of innocence or guilt. I Jun 22 20:23

schestowitz> why would the Chairman of the AC - or the AC itself - have any interest in keeping the file secret?Jun 24 11:35

schestowitzOr it may be His Master's Voice indeed - and Mr. Battistelli has grown way too big for the Chairman.Jun 24 11:35
schestowitzMr. Kongstad should have realised what he signed up to with Mr. Battistelli. Who ruled the INPI with iron fist as well, that's no secret.Jun 24 11:35
schestowitzThe AC realised they had to change working culture with the EPO. Bit by bit or the hard way? They chose the last option, conciously, and some members of the AC still support that option. Jun 24 11:35
schestowitz"Jun 24 11:35
schestowitz"Jun 24 11:37
schestowitz BB's words usually implied that the creation of the Unitary Patent was justification for his actions, and seemed to be one of the reasons why the AC put up with him, beginning with his secret contract.Jun 24 11:37
schestowitzNow that the Brexit meteorite hit the planet, and the UP looks at least severely compromised, will the AC change course? And what will BB do? Hide in a corner and sit out the storm?Jun 24 11:37
schestowitzThe trade, foreign, and justice ministers of the EU28/EPC38 will undoubtedly have more pressing priorities than to try to salvage this comparatively minor agreement... (If the text of treaty has to be ratified, then the ratification cycle will have to start all over again).Jun 24 11:37
schestowitz"Jun 24 11:38
schestowitz"Jun 24 11:38
schestowitz So now we know. El Presidente was of the view that the EBoa had no authority to conduct their own fact-finding exercise.Jun 24 11:38
schestowitzTo quote the QC's opinion upon which the President relied:Jun 24 11:38
schestowitz"19. It will be recalled that the role of the EBOA under Article 23 EPC is to make a proposal on the removal from office, having regard to the fact that this sanction has been recommended by the DC and endorsed by the AC. This article does not confer an appellate or investigative power, let alone a free standing and further fact finding mandate. The nature and extent of the evidence already available to the EBOA means that the attendance Jun 24 11:38
schestowitzof these witnesses is not necessary for the Article 23(1) EPC proceedings to be conducted fairly and effectively...Jun 24 11:38
schestowitz21. It is quite inappropriate that a full re-hearing of the facts take place on 14-16 June; there are no vires in this forum to conduct an appeal process nor indeed to recommence an investigation; accordingly, the personal presence of any witnesses from the Office will not be required or authorised by the President".Jun 24 11:38
schestowitzNice response from the EBoA, though:Jun 24 11:38
schestowitz"2. ... As it concerns a member of the judicial body of the EPO, who enjoys the guarantee of judicial independence pursuant to Article 23(3) EPC, this decision must itself also be arrived at in accordance with the principle of judicial independence pursuant to Article 23(3) EPC.Jun 24 11:38
schestowitz3. Neither the European Patent Convention nor the Rules of Procedure of the Enlarged Board of Appeal foresee these proceedings as an appeal from a decision or opinion in the disciplinary proceedings or establish these proceedings as a legal or factual part of the disciplinary proceedings governed by Article 11(4) EPC and the ServRegs. It is rather for the Enlarged Board to establish, to its own satisfaction, by an examination of the factsJun 24 11:38
schestowitz evidence and arguments, whether it is in a position to make the requested proposal for removal from office...Jun 24 11:38
schestowitz4. ... the adversarial nature of the proceedings aims, as is usual under the rule of law in democratic countries, at guaranteeing the Respondent a fair trial and not at undermining the power of the disciplinary authority to take a final decision".Jun 24 11:38
schestowitzOn these grounds, the EBoA's reasoning appears to be perfectly sound. However, for reasons that I fail to comprehend, the QC's opinion does not appear to grasp the intent behind Article 23(3) EPC:Jun 24 11:38
schestowitz"In their decisions the members of the Boards shall not be bound by any instructions and shall comply only with the provisions of this Convention".Jun 24 11:38
schestowitzIn essence, it appears that the President position's was that the EBoA should simply accept (unchallenged) the findings of the IU and the DC, i.e. that misconduct had been committed, and so should rubber-stamp those findings by proposing removal of member concerned. However, it is impossible to construe this position in any way that could be remotely compatible with Article 23(3) EPC - as being unable to conduct your own fact-finding Jun 24 11:38
schestowitzexercise (and instead merely being forced to accept the findings of another party) clearly amounts to being "bound by instructions". To suggest otherwise is simply not credible.Jun 24 11:38
schestowitzSo does this mean that there is now yet another ground to demand BB's removal from office, namely incompetence? I very much hope that the QC concerned did not independently arrive at the views expressed in their opinion... if so, then I hope that it is no one that I know! Jun 24 11:38

schestowitz"Jun 24 11:39
schestowitz There are two other points that I would like to make.Jun 24 11:39
schestowitzFirstly, whilst I suspected before that it might be happening, it seems increasingly likely that some comments are being posted on IPKat on behalf of the EPO management. A particularly suspicious comments is from "independent", posting at 09:29 on 18 June:Jun 24 11:39
schestowitzhttp://ipkitten.blogspot.co.uk/2016/06/procedure-to-remove-board-of-appeal.html?showComment=1466238561927#c8753686057518486460Jun 24 11:39

schestowitzIn hindsight, the points made in that post now look a lot like someone with full knowledge of the events on 14 June getting the President's reaction in first. I hope that I am mistaken, though, as it would not be the most dignified way for the management of the EPO to conduct its business.Jun 24 11:39
schestowitzSecondly, it appears that we have now reached a stalemate. The EBoA has closed the proceedings. It also appears extremely unlikely that they will hear the case again ("55. In the present case the Enlarged Board has made a final decision that it does not make a proposal for removal from office of the respondent"). However, they have the power neither to lift the "house ban" nor to fully reinstate the member concerned. I cannot imagine BB Jun 24 11:39
schestowitzvoluntarily taking those actions, but who could possibly force him to do so? One would imagine the AC, but he has ignored their explicit instructions before (as well as instructions from the EBoA regarding publication of certain decisions).Jun 24 11:39
schestowitzIs the only course of action now to lift his immunity? I imagine that if this were to happen, which I admit is unlikely, then there could be a surge of cases filed at the courts (including alleged defamation of the member of the BoA who was the subject of the proceedings). Jun 24 11:39

schestowitz Interested_Reader says:Jun 24 11:41
schestowitzThe IMHO real "slap in BB's face" is in Points 1 to 3 of the reasoning. The EBoA makes it crystal clear that for proceedings held in front of it, it is entitled to gather facts and evidence on its own motion in order to take a decision to its own satisfaction, independently from any disciplinary proceedings under Art. 12a(8) RPEBA.Jun 24 11:41
schestowitzThese are the points telling the President that his opinion of "you're just to propose dismissal for the reasons that the IU of mine has told you" is null and void and that he is the one that does not understand the EPC. The EBoA could also have said: "We're not your sock puppets."Jun 24 11:41
