| schestowitz | As Disheartened above observes, in the case of The Government of Eponia vs SUEPO: | Dec 13 20:07 |
| schestowitz | "...both sides react badly to the other side's poor behaviour. So the problems just get worse and worse." | Dec 13 20:07 |
| schestowitz | Suppose it degenerates as far as the point where Habeas Corpus becomes relevant. For the interest of members of the families of SUEPO officials, please tell me the name of the court they should turn to, that has the power to order the Government of Eponia to come up with the body? | Dec 13 20:07 |
| schestowitz | You see, I just don't know what's going on. I wonder, is it in the EPO a bit like in The Vatican City, perhaps, but much less transparent? Or (at least when it comes to sweeteners at AC level) would FIFA be the better comparison? One can only stare into the murk and ask oneself whether what is in fact going on inside EPOnia. What does happen, readers, when (as a fact) a secular Head of State is not answerable to any effective control by | Dec 13 20:07 |
| schestowitz | any court for his actions taken, especially against those of his people who are troublesome to him? | Dec 13 20:07 |
| schestowitz | See for example the curiously weak and wishy-washy wording of G2301/15 when it comes to reimbursement of the Respondent's costs. The EBA lacks any power to order the Petitioner to pay. And if the Petitioner simply declines to pay, what then? Will that reveal the AC as being "in contempt" of the "court" ruling from the EBA? Come to think of it, is the attitude of the AC towards the EBA correctly characterized as "contempt". It has already | Dec 13 20:07 |
| schestowitz | shown contempt for a court in The Netherlands, I seem to recall. Let us judge the AC more by the deeds committed in its name than by the words uttered in its name. | Dec 13 20:07 |

| schestowitz | Will everyone please stop banging on about the dental treatment thing? | Dec 16 12:24 |
| schestowitz | There are far more important issues at stake. Suspension of staff members on spurious grounds. The ongoing "house ban" issue. The possibility of another attempt to fire the suspended DG3 member. Insane efforts to move the Boards of Appeal to Vienna, against the express wish of seemingly every user of the system. | Dec 16 12:24 |
| schestowitz | Yes, the AC seems to be incompetent or complicit. Yes, it needs to be forced to take action. Yes, if the AC really is rinsing the fee-payers of thousands of Euros in dental expenses, that's a scandal. But compared to all the other things it is a minor side show and it is clear that nobody has the full facts or even knows for sure if the dental plan has ever been used. What we do know for sure is that there are other serious problems (see | Dec 16 12:24 |
| schestowitz | above) which are verifiable and are much more fundamental to the effective functioning of the system.

| schestowitz | " @ Disheartened, a fundamental distinction between the respective behaviour of SUEPO and EPO management is that the latter are able to concoct a story, treat it as fact, and act upon it without scrutiny to the extreme prejudice if the person targeted. When SUEPO get silly, they can be told to get lost. More concerning is when the Staff Representation, which has always had a statutory presence within the EPO, which has been tinkered with | Dec 16 12:25 |
| schestowitz | considerably by BB with a view to neutering it, is also treated with contempt by the EPO management, who confound them with SUEPO as the mood takes them. I suggest that nobody reading this blog who has any claim to knowledge of general law - which should be every reader - would be content with such a state of affairs." | Dec 16 12:25 |

| schestowitz | Your last comment is really going too far, and whatever side of the cause you take, it really does nobody any good at all and perhaps you should take your own advice to think twice, particularly about the context. | Dec 17 01:07 |
| schestowitz | The situation in the EPO really is one of the absence of both employment rights and human rights which most of us take for granted. There are those in many of our countries who believe that the existence of such rights, and the protection that they afford, is spurious, an affront to sovereignty, a restriction on progress, and that their absence would cause no harms to any citizens. If nothing else, the EPO's current situation is an experiment | Dec 17 01:07 |
| schestowitz | which proves, should proof ever be needed, that such people and beliefs are wholly misplaced. There really is no such thing as a benign dictatorship - Lady Astor's comment has already been quoted here. | Dec 17 01:07 |
| schestowitz | It is obvious that there are various sock puppets commenting on this blog, one can speculate on who they are. But some are clearly attempting to defend the indefensible. Were they in any of the EPO's member states, they and their masters would certainly not be behaving as they are, and would actively and forcefully be prevented from doing so. | Dec 17 01:07 |
| schestowitz | But stupid, thoughtless and offensive comments don't contribute anything. | Dec 17 01:07 |

| schestowitz | Dear THE US anon, | Dec 18 22:22 |
| schestowitz | I'm sorry that our little spot of local business over here is getting you down a little. | Dec 18 22:22 |
| schestowitz | (I) I would say that, yes, executive pressure being brought to bear on a supposedly independent appeal instance would affect substantive patent law, since the practice of the BoAs is eventually handed down to the Examiners for everyday use in the Guidelines for Examination. | Dec 18 22:22 |
| schestowitz | When it's your client's case going down, because (to pick an entirely hypothetical option) DG3 has been "leant on" to be more mean in their tolerance of Auxiliary requests, so to improve throughput, get back to us and join in with our squabble, m'kay? | Dec 18 22:22 |
| schestowitz | (II) Until that eagerly awaited moment, if you want to learn about EP intellectual property, there are lots of articles with lots of other threads awaiting your thoughts. Don't blame us if your position is akin to that of a person who goes to watch a poorly rated B-movie, only to emerge from the film theatre (ok, I'll do it just this once: movie theater) chiding the directors for their lack of taste.

| schestowitz | If it is true that the EPO´s staff regulations have been amended to the effect that members of the Boards of Appeal can be suspended on half-salary for up to 24 months by the AC, this would be a wonderful X-mas gift to those who contest the constitutionality of the EPC before national courts, and to all the opponents to the Unitary Patent in general. | Dec 18 22:23 |
| schestowitz | And how could Board members accept to seeing a colleague so punished after the EBA has considered the charges raised against him by the AC to be unsubstantiated, but still pretend to be "judges in all but name"? | Dec 18 22:23 |

| schestowitz | @Dear US Anon, | Dec 18 22:23 |
| schestowitz | I fully understand your issues with the derailment of all EPO related threads. | Dec 18 22:23 |
| schestowitz | The problem for us EPO employees is, that we cannot discuss these things elsewhere. | Dec 18 22:23 |
| schestowitz | If we do discuss it on union sites, this causes the unions to be attacked even more. | Dec 18 22:23 |
| schestowitz | We cannot discuss this on EPO Internal sites, as thoose would be removed as soon as management finds them, with corresponding problems for those who participated on those sites. | Dec 18 22:23 |
| schestowitz | Yes, it does not relate to substantive issues, but currently it is my main source of information, as otherwise I would have to try every day to find someone over in the unions rented rooms (while being observed to do so). | Dec 18 22:24 |
| schestowitz | And I do not want the union officials to have to explain everything several times a day to several others, they currently need their time to prepare their defenses, and their answers on further proposals from management. | Dec 18 22:24 |
| schestowitz | I am currently grateful to the kats for allowing this, and respectfully ask your understanding for this issue. | Dec 18 22:24 |
| schestowitz | Feel free to ask questions you may have, if you want in less "populated" threads. In EPO related threads I'll be hanging around and might even have an answer to any of your questions. | Dec 18 22:24 |

| schestowitz | While what you say is indeed true - that I do not have to read this thread, the volume of comments (and even of threads dedicated to the subject) STILL drown out other aspects of my desire to learn. | Dec 18 22:27 |
| schestowitz | Pushing other threads that teach the merits of foreign IP law positions, both in threads and in the feature of "What you've been saying: readers' latest comments" does in fact steal away from the limited bandwidth. | Dec 18 22:27 |
| schestowitz | Partaking in blogs is necessarily a zero sum game, and even if I abstain from this topic, some bandwidth is indeed lost. I do not begrudge coverage of this item, as I do recognize that it is indeed important for those most intimately involved. But nonetheless, I do question the scope of coverage, and the inordinate emphasis that this is receiving. | Dec 18 22:27 |
| schestowitz | I ask again (plainly), does this item impact the substantive patent (and IP) law coverage of the EP to the same level of coverage that it has been receiving? | Dec 18 22:27 |
| schestowitz | The answer is one that - objectively - must be supplied in the negative. | Dec 18 22:27 |
| schestowitz | bottom-feeder - THANK YOU for posting a different - and thus meaningful addition (your inappropriate condescension aside). Your is exactly the type of post that is largely missing and beneficial. But must I have to sift through the repetitious (dross) of the typical back and forth that MOST of such threads contain to reach your jewel? In truth, that will just not happen. | Dec 18 22:27 |
| schestowitz | one of those EPO examiners, | Dec 18 22:27 |
| schestowitz | I think that you too miss the point that sheer volume of (repetitious) back and forth reduces any sense of concern for your position. I do "get" that the item is important. Being buried in the same types of posts for months on end simply reduces any sense of "sensitivity" that you might be attempting to gain. Like it or not, it all just becomes noise, and any valuable tidbit buried in the thread comments is simply lost in that noise. | Dec 18 22:27 |
| schestowitz | Sometimes, less really is more.** | Dec 18 22:27 |
| schestowitz | **and sadly, I am fully aware that sometimes less is not more. This realization comes from my own experience on this side of the blog when a certain viewpoint is placed so voluminously as to be a clear attempt at the rhetorical tool of "repeat a falsehood often enough that it garners a semblance of truth." If that is the case, then the blog moderators have a duty to step in and prevent the over-running of the blog for such propaganda uses. | Dec 18 22:27 |

| schestowitz | "...both sides react badly to the other side's poor behaviour. So the problems just get worse and worse." | Dec 13 20:07 |
| schestowitz | Suppose it degenerates as far as the point where Habeas Corpus becomes relevant.

| schestowitz | You see, I just don't know what's going on. I wonder, is it in the EPO a bit like in The Vatican City, perhaps, but much less transparent? Or (at least when it comes to sweeteners at AC level) would FIFA be the better comparison? One can only stare into the murk and ask oneself whether what is in fact going on inside EPOnia.

| schestowitz | See for example the curiously weak and wishy-washy wording of G2301/15 when it comes to reimbursement of the Respondent's costs. The EBA lacks any power to order the Petitioner to pay. And if the Petitioner simply declines to pay, what then? Will that reveal the AC as being "in contempt" of the "court" ruling from the EBA? Come to think of it, is the attitude of the AC towards the EBA correctly characterized as "contempt". It has already | Dec 13 20:07 |
| schestowitz | shown contempt for a court in The Netherlands, I seem to recall. Let us judge the AC more by the deeds committed in its name than by the words uttered in its name. | Dec 13 20:07 |

| schestowitz | There are far more important issues at stake. Suspension of staff members on spurious grounds. The ongoing "house ban" issue. The possibility of another attempt to fire the suspended DG3 member. Insane efforts to move the Boards of Appeal to Vienna, against the express wish of seemingly every user of the system. | Dec 16 12:24 |
| schestowitz | Yes, the AC seems to be incompetent or complicit. Yes, it needs to be forced to take action. Yes, if the AC really is rinsing the fee-payers of thousands of Euros in dental expenses, that's a scandal. But compared to all the other things it is a minor side show and it is clear that nobody has the full facts or even knows for sure if the dental plan has ever been used. What we do know for sure is that there are other serious problems (see | Dec 16 12:24 |
| schestowitz | above) which are verifiable and are much more fundamental to the effective functioning of the system. Going on and on about a dental treatment plan, for which nobody seems to know the full facts, risks letting the President and/or the AC get away with much more serious abuses. | Dec 16 12:24 |

| schestowitz | I'm sorry that our little spot of local business over here is getting you down a little. | Dec 18 22:22 |
| schestowitz | (I) I would say that, yes, executive pressure being brought to bear on a supposedly independent appeal instance would affect substantive patent law, since the practice of the BoAs is eventually handed down to the Examiners for everyday use in the Guidelines for Examination. | Dec 18 22:22 |
| schestowitz | When it's your client's case going down, because (to pick an entirely hypothetical option) DG3 has been "leant on" to be more mean in their tolerance of Auxiliary requests, so to improve throughput, get back to us and join in with our squabble, m'kay? | Dec 18 22:22 |
| schestowitz | (II) Until that eagerly awaited moment, if you want to learn about EP intellectual property, there are lots of articles with lots of other threads awaiting your thoughts. Don't blame us if your position is akin to that of a person who goes to watch a poorly rated B-movie, only to emerge from the film theatre (ok, I'll do it just this once: movie theater) chiding the directors for their lack of taste.

| schestowitz | If it is true that the EPO´s staff regulations have been amended to the effect that members of the Boards of Appeal can be suspended on half-salary for up to 24 months by the AC, this would be a wonderful X-mas gift to those who contest the constitutionality of the EPC before national courts, and to all the opponents to the Unitary Patent in general. | Dec 18 22:23 |

| schestowitz | I fully understand your issues with the derailment of all EPO related threads. | Dec 18 22:23 |
| schestowitz | The problem for us EPO employees is, that we cannot discuss these things elsewhere. | Dec 18 22:23 |
| schestowitz | If we do discuss it on union sites, this causes the unions to be attacked even more. | Dec 18 22:23 |
| schestowitz | We cannot discuss this on EPO Internal sites, as thoose would be removed as soon as management finds them, with corresponding problems for those who participated on those sites. | Dec 18 22:23 |
| schestowitz | Yes, it does not relate to substantive issues, but currently it is my main source of information, as otherwise I would have to try every day to find someone over in the unions rented rooms (while being observed to do so). | Dec 18 22:24 |
| schestowitz | And I do not want the union officials to have to explain everything several times a day to several others, they currently need their time to prepare their defenses, and their answers on further proposals from management. | Dec 18 22:24 |
| schestowitz | I am currently grateful to the kats for allowing this, and respectfully ask your understanding for this issue. | Dec 18 22:24 |
| schestowitz | Feel free to ask questions you may have, if you want in less "populated" threads. In EPO related threads I'll be hanging around and might even have an answer to any of your questions. | Dec 18 22:24 |

But must I have to sift through the repetitious (dross) of the typical back and forth that MOST of such threads contain to reach your jewel? In truth, that will just not happen. | Dec 18 22:27 |
| schestowitz | one of those EPO examiners, | Dec 18 22:27 |
| schestowitz | I think that you too miss the point that sheer volume of (repetitious) back and forth reduces any sense of concern for your position. I do "get" that the item is important. Being buried in the same types of posts for months on end simply reduces any sense of "sensitivity" that you might be attempting to gain. Like it or not, it all just becomes noise, and any valuable tidbit buried in the thread comments is simply lost in that noise. | Dec 18 22:27 |
| schestowitz | Sometimes, less really is more.** | Dec 18 22:27 |
| schestowitz | **and sadly, I am fully aware that sometimes less is not more. This realization comes from my own experience on this side of the blog when a certain viewpoint is placed so voluminously as to be a clear attempt at the rhetorical tool of "repeat a falsehood often enough that it garners a semblance of truth." If that is the case, then the blog moderators have a duty to step in and prevent the over-running of the blog for such propaganda uses. | Dec 18 22:27 |
| schestowitz | Even in the US, certain blogs (but critically NOT all blogs) still do not quite realize that duty. | Dec 18 22:27 |

| schestowitz | To THE US anon, | Dec 18 22:28 |
| schestowitz | you may report now, but not to the POTUS but to the POTEPO that you have delivered the message that POTEPO is not amused loud and clear, because, even Barbi got that. | Dec 18 22:28 |
| schestowitz | You may also report that Barbi thinks that POTUS and POTEPO are equla in some respects, namely both have nothing to say about what topics on this blog are or are not being discussed. | Dec 18 22:28 |

| schestowitz | > | Dec 19 12:30 |
| schestowitz | > In the techrights case (you tweeted "DDOS") it can be the case, that so many examiners are currently trying to access your page, and that the Bluecoat appliance not only blocks the users from accessing techrights but also ping techrights - which causes a lot of traffic to your pages, but does not bring contents to the internal users.
