schestowitz"We’ve got oligarchy that’s built in large part on the power that computers and software have over users. The industry as a whole does not serve users at all.

schestowitzMany staff tried to escape from being selected as “volunteers” to meet the president. In several units, staff members took leave beforehand to avoid being on the list of available candidates for the “volunteer” selection process carried out by the line managers.

schestowitz The first comment asks about inventiveness. The EPO decides this objectively, under the Problem and Solution Approach. This Decision is on appeal from the Exam Division, so the only prior art available to the Board is that supplied by the Division. If this were on appeal from the Opposition Division, there would be better prior art from which the Board could craft an argument that the stroking>purring idea was obvious.Feb 13 11:40
schestowitzThat said though, to me it seems quite cute, and not obvious, to equate mobile phone vibration with the "purring" of an on-screen cat.Feb 13 11:40

schestowitzHello Roy,Feb 13 09:03
schestowitzThanks for the hint in your below email.Feb 13 09:03
schestowitzApplying common sense is the right approach.Feb 13 09:03
schestowitzAdding subtitles and making the report available to a foreign public seems to be fair use,Feb 13 09:03
schestowitzin particular since it is non-profit.Feb 13 09:03
schestowitzBelow is some feedback I received from two different sources.Feb 13 09:03
schestowitzI will opload the videos somewhere and then send you the links.Feb 13 09:03

schestowitz> EPO colleagues produced a video from Dutch TV news and added subtitles in English, German and French.Feb 13 09:06
schestowitz> The source (link) is mentioned in the subtitles (at the beginning of the video).Feb 13 09:06
schestowitz> Dou you know whether publishing this video would be considered as 'fair use'?Feb 13 09:06

schestowitz> Can you help?Feb 13 09:06

schestowitz> What would you do to make the video public in this case, so that people can link to it?Feb 13 09:06
schestowitzHelp needed: Question on fair useFeb 13 09:07
schestowitzHi,Feb 13 09:07
schestowitzI'm not an expert when it comes to fair use, but I usually go by common sense and I very much doubt they'll take action, unless it's reposted for profit rather than to highlight human rights abuses.Feb 13 09:07
schestowitzI can host the file/s if someone send that to me. I already did some editing and posted the 8-minute video in techrights (the colours didn't come out right), but no subtitles...Feb 13 09:07

schestowitzAn anonymous source told us the following:Feb 13 09:10
schestowitzMany staff tried to escape from being selected as “volunteers” to meet the president. In several units, staff members took leave beforehand to avoid being on the list of available candidates for the “volunteer” selection process carried out by the line managers. That's why the administration selected many “volunteers” amongst the probationers: they could not easily refuse the offer.Feb 13 09:10

schestowitz The first comment asks about inventiveness. The EPO decides this objectively, under the Problem and Solution Approach. This Decision is on appeal from the Exam Division, so the only prior art available to the Board is that supplied by the Division. If this were on appeal from the Opposition Division, there would be better prior art from which the Board could craft an argument that the stroking>purring idea was obvious.Feb 13 11:40
schestowitzThat said though, to me it seems quite cute, and not obvious, to equate mobile phone vibration with the "purring" of an on-screen cat.Feb 13 11:40
