schestowitzOf course, anonymous postings can be provocative, and might even be intended to be provocative.Mar 26 16:46
schestowitzSome readers like an argument. Indeed, that is why they are here. A few readers enjoy taking offence, whenever they find they can. It goes with the forum.Mar 26 16:46
schestowitzI repeat: Early Certainty from Search is what my clients need and therefore what I want. Put a higher priority on getting the search reports out early. As such, then, ECfS is for me a good initiative from EPO management. Of course, what my clients don't need, and I don't want, is an early but crap search. If searches are to be put out earlier, something else has to be given a lower priority. But ECfS does this, doesn't it?Mar 26 16:46
schestowitzAs endless numbers of people have endlessly repeated in recent months, one cannot have all three of I) top quality ii) timeliness and iii) low cost. A compromise has to be reached. Bad management at the EPO will settle for a bad compromise and market it as a good one. Good management will preserve and enhance the EPO's reputation for a top quality search and not squander it. I know that "certainty" from the EPO search is unattainable, butMar 26 16:46
schestowitznevertheless, as close to that as possible is what I would like, and as "early" as possible please, and without any loss of quality please. In this, my experience is that I can rely on EPO Examiners. But can I rely on EPO management? I'm not sure. Mar 26 16:46

schestowitzWere you seriously suggesting that DG1 should stay out of the examination of validity (post of 17 March, last two paragraphs)? That DG1 should just do the search and then let you / the applicant decide on the scope of the granted claims?Mar 26 16:45
schestowitzIf so, why does it surprise you to hear "at best stupid and preposterous"? Seems to me that was way too friendly still. Mar 26 16:45

schestowitzI write anonymously. Only so, do I have the nerve to criticise EPO management.Mar 26 16:46
schestowitzOf course, anonymous postings can be provocative, and might even be intended to be provocative.Mar 26 16:46
schestowitzSome readers like an argument. Indeed, that is why they are here. A few readers enjoy taking offence, whenever they find they can. It goes with the forum.Mar 26 16:46
schestowitzI repeat: Early Certainty from Search is what my clients need and therefore what I want. Put a higher priority on getting the search reports out early. As such, then, ECfS is for me a good initiative from EPO management. Of course, what my clients don't need, and I don't want, is an early but crap search. If searches are to be put out earlier, something else has to be given a lower priority. But ECfS does this, doesn't it?Mar 26 16:46
schestowitzAs endless numbers of people have endlessly repeated in recent months, one cannot have all three of I) top quality ii) timeliness and iii) low cost. A compromise has to be reached. Bad management at the EPO will settle for a bad compromise and market it as a good one. Good management will preserve and enhance the EPO's reputation for a top quality search and not squander it. I know that "certainty" from the EPO search is unattainable, butMar 26 16:46
schestowitznevertheless, as close to that as possible is what I would like, and as "early" as possible please, and without any loss of quality please. In this, my experience is that I can rely on EPO Examiners. But can I rely on EPO management? I'm not sure. Mar 26 16:46

schestowitz    Your second and third sentences reveal more about you MaxDrei, than you might realize. You do seem to like to throw C R P at the wall just to see what sticks (instead of employing critical thinking).Mar 26 16:47

schestowitz    What a hypocrite.Mar 26 16:47
schestowitz    That aside, yes, the "project management triangle" - the "pick two" - is ever in effect. But that does not and should not stop advances in (gasp) business methods from being applied to the examination process itself.Mar 26 16:47
schestowitz    As to the priority of drivers, well, that is a bit up in the air (even early Lemley was an advocate for less than perfect quality).Mar 26 16:47
schestowitz    I do agree with you that speed at the cost of quality is a poor trade off. I would also shy away from hiking cost as a substitute for obtaining benefit in the other two areas, as "sport of kings" has its own deleterious side effects.Mar 26 16:47
