| schestowitz | No offence taken, MaxDrei! | May 16 12:47 |
| schestowitz | Our views are probably more similar than apparent at first glance. I mostly agree with your statements. And I am also happy to grant a patent on tiny improvements - if they are not obvious to the person skilled in the art. After all, tiny improvements usually can be circumvented easily and do not hurt the competition. | May 16 12:47 |
| schestowitz | My misgivings about the EPO-approach are, that with their strict formalisms about closest prior art and the would-could test (which may be OK in the majority of cases, but not in all cases) they dumb down this guy/gal. The person skilled in the art should be the average engineer (I am doing electronics) with more than a few years of experience. Not an Einstein, but most certainly not the guy who is laid of in the next downturn, either. | May 16 12:47 |
| schestowitz | So, for me the BGH-line on insufficient disclosure (in which the skilled person needs just the tiniest of hints on what to do, to make the disclosure sufficient) is over the top, as is the EPA-line on obviousness, where the skilled person will need massive hints to even look at different documents. | May 16 12:47 |
| schestowitz | I am not so sure, that the patent offices really are more strict now. The USPTO is still granting at an astonishing ratio. When talking to patent attorneys, they all complain about the EPO rejecting applications for formal reasons, not for material ones. They also complain about the German examiners skilled person having too much knowledge and being too smart. I assume these complaints to be at least partially founded in fact... | May 16 12:47 |

| schestowitz | " | May 16 17:35 |
| schestowitz | Frag, your words drive me on. Incidentally, we seem to have left novelty behind now, and have moved on, to Art 56 and 83 EPC. But that's OK. | May 16 17:35 |
| schestowitz | Not sure where you get the idea from, that the hint or suggestion in the state of the art has to be "massive" before an EPO TBA will "even look at" it. Not my experience. One thing i like about the EPO Approach to Art 56 EPC is that it minimises the debate about who exactly the PHOSITA is. Either there is a hint or suggestion, or there ain't. The poor old EPO-PSA gets a good kicking every time some attorney loses a case. Yet what it usually | May 16 17:35 |
| schestowitz | comes down to is a lack of imagination on the part of that attorney, what evidence to put forward, and how best to argue the case. | May 16 17:35 |
| schestowitz | For the reasons you give, and on which we agree, Patent Offices around the world should continue to grant patents for new and useful subject matter which was not obvious, however trivial the invention seems to be. But it's in the nature of an ex parte examination to determine whether the inventor gets something or nothing, that a lot of dodgy stuff will continue to get through to issue. Inevitably. Governments and courts should recognise that | May 16 17:35 |
| schestowitz | reality, and deal with it robustly. | May 16 17:35 |
| schestowitz | One must remember at all times that, for the sake of objectivity, the notional addressee (the PHOSITA) is a legal fiction, with properties not found in any real human. This objective litmus paper knows all the art, in all languages, but is devoid of any scintilla of inventive mental activity. No real person is like this. Do you like objectivity, or would you rather cases be decided subjectively? | May 16 17:35 |
| schestowitz | I note the demise of the notion in the German courts that the level of inventive height sufficient for a Gebrauchsmuster is less than for a 20 year patent. There is no room for different heights of inventive step or activity, when obviousness is done properly objectively as at the EPO. A good way to do Art 56 EPC is when the answer is a straight yes or no. I do not know any other jurisdiction in the world, apart from the EPO, where | May 16 17:35 |
| schestowitz | obviousness is a binary question and where it will not affect the result whether the PHOSITA does or does not have a PhD. | May 16 17:35 |

| -TechBytesBot/#techbytes-ipkitten.blogspot.com | The IPKat: Does the UPC spell disaster for the EPO Boards of Appeal? [ http://ur1.ca/p3yaz ] | May 17 12:23 | |
| schestowitz | " | May 17 12:23 |
| schestowitz | Whilst it might certainly have helped out in the early stages of the UPC to take on board members of the Boards of Appeal, it seems the reluctance of certain national judges to consider members of the Boards of Appeal to be judges like themselves which eventually lead to them not being taken into consideration for posts at the UPC. | May 17 12:23 |
| schestowitz | If I am not wrong Sir Jacob said to the face of members of the Boards of Appeal that they were not judges, and took as pretext Art 111..... | May 17 12:23 |
| schestowitz | To my knowledge, none of the members of the Boards of Appeal having applied to the UPC even got an acknowledgement of their candidature. | May 17 12:23 |
| schestowitz | But DG1 examiners have been invited to follow training as technical judge for the UPC.... | May 17 12:23 |
| schestowitz | I see however another problem should members of the Boards of Appeal serve at the UPC. There is no mechanism foreseen should the case law of the UPC diverge from that of the Boards of Appeal and Enlarged Board of Appeal when validity is at stake. | May 17 12:23 |
| schestowitz | It would be a very uncomfortable position for a member of the BA serving on a UPC panel to support a decision which is clearly at odds with a decision of a Boards of Appeal or the Enlarged Boards of Appeal. The possibility of a dissenting opinion is foreseen in the rules of the UPC, but such a position is never comfortable. | May 17 12:23 |
| schestowitz | As the UP is a patent granted by examiners of the EPO, the latter are bound by the case law of the Boards of Appeal. What if the UPC decides in a totally opposite way? | May 17 12:23 |
| schestowitz | What will happen at the UPC is the same as what happens nowadays with national decisions vs. DG3. They will carefully ignore each other. | May 17 12:23 |
| schestowitz | On the other hand, when one sees the position taken by the BGH in case of added subject-matter (Wound healing device, X ZR 161/12) shudders go down one's back. This decision is in clear conflict with G 1/93 (inescapable trap), although the BGH claims it is not the case. | May 17 12:23 |
| schestowitz | For the same token, undisclosed disclaimers in the meaning of G 1/03 are clearly a fiction. What if the UPC decides to get read of the fiction? | May 17 12:23 |
| schestowitz | The (not so) secret hope of some national judges wanting to serve on the UPC is that UPC case law will rapidly render obsolete case law of the Boards of Appeal. I am not sure that this will ever materialise, and certainly not at the beginning. | May 17 12:24 |
| schestowitz | When one looks at the few UPC mocks which have taken place here or there, proceedings before the UPC seem to carry a very heavy national ballast, and the role of the UPC court of appeal will be very important to fight those national tendencies. | May 17 12:24 |
| schestowitz | To make things clear, I have never been, and will never be a member of the Boards of Appeal. | May 17 12:24 |

| schestowitz | From Hellokitty | May 17 12:26 |
| schestowitz | To Old man of epo | May 17 12:26 |
| schestowitz | The "recent mooted change to dg3 rules concerning the requirement of approval for employment after leaving the epo" says quite a bit more than that. All recent EPO publications are like Patent claims: they appear innocuous at first sight, but the wording is chosen to be devastating. | May 17 12:26 |
| schestowitz | First: these rules foresee compensation for some chosen ones, at the discretion of the President. That is a nice way to ensure your friends are still be paid after they leave the EPO. | May 17 12:26 |
| schestowitz | Second: these rules ARE NOT LIMITED TO DG3. Sure, the title will make one think so, but the text foresees no limit. It is for everyone, clerks, examiners, board members, etc... The proposed rules are: you live the office, the President decides whether your new job is in conflict with your previous occupation, anywhere in the world and for two years. There is no example of a non-competing clause reaching that far anywhere else in the world. | May 17 12:26 |
| schestowitz | Third: there is no link between compensation and limitation. For example, reading the text, a recently dismissed member of the staff representation is seeking work as a patent attorney. The President will be able to prohibit that for two years, without compensation. | May 17 12:26 |
| schestowitz | Fourth: the document is not moot, it will be presented again in the June session. | May 17 12:26 |
| schestowitz | This document, if accepted in the June session, will simply insure that nobody can live the Office, unless approved by the President. It will also insure that dismissed people (and there are plans to make dismissal for insufficient production a simple administrative procedure) have no way to work for 2 years. | May 17 12:26 |
| schestowitz | Just read the text as you would read a Patent claim. | May 17 12:26 |

| schestowitz | Ahhh the UK and BT. | May 19 10:56 |
| schestowitz | So BT had rolled fiber out to my village exchange. In the UK fiber is installed from the exchange to a "green box" on the street and is copper from there. So they upgraded everyone in the villiage. Great! Lets order it. | May 19 10:56 |
| schestowitz | "Your line is not enabled for fiber and there are no plans" WTF... The local exchange is upgraded and ready! Why can't I get fiber???? | May 19 10:56 |
| schestowitz | Several months of emails to BT, the council broadband ground and I finally get told I am on a "Direct to exchange" line. There is no "Green box" on my street. The telephone copper wires run over the telegraph poles all the way back to the exchange. Its not far, about 1-1/2 miles or so. | May 19 10:56 |
| schestowitz | But, BT had no plans to replace these lines. This meant I fell into the 1-2% of the UK population that will never get fiber. | May 19 10:56 |
| schestowitz | I have to admit, that left me feeling rather peeved. | May 19 10:56 |
| schestowitz | I then get the BT vans driving around everywhere advertising the service I will never get... Double peeved. | May 19 10:56 |
| schestowitz | THEN we get a report in the news "BT has underspent £200 million of the rural broadband scheme" With £200 Million available, I don't see any excuse not to upgrade my line. Sorting out the 1-2% of the pop that cannot get it is the POINT of the money. I checked my mortgage document "Isolated rural property" Hmmmm..... | May 19 10:56 |
| schestowitz | Several emails to BT, the Council broadband group and eventually my MP. Then one to the Council group saying "I wrote to my MP, he will be contacting you." | May 19 10:56 |
| schestowitz | Surprise surprise: "We will now be upgrading all the direct to exchange lines in your village, work should be completed by December 2015" | May 19 10:56 |
| schestowitz | That actually means I can get FTTP. | May 19 10:56 |
| schestowitz | So Jan 2016 rolls around. Nothing "Theres been a delay" | May 19 10:56 |
| schestowitz | Its now mid may... The cables are on each telephone pole, down to a green box bolted to each one, but not connected to each other yet. | May 19 10:56 |
| schestowitz | So 4 months later I am STILL waiting for fiber. | May 19 10:56 |
| schestowitz | Excuse me, I think Ill go harass my MP some more. | May 19 10:56 |

| -TechBytesBot/#techbytes-ipkitten.blogspot.com | The IPKat: Does Mr Justice Birss' decision in Positec finally signal the end of disclosure in obviousness cases in the UK Patents Court? | May 19 15:26 | |
| schestowitz | " | May 19 15:26 |
| schestowitz | As we all know, expert evidence has to be "kept in its place" and so too, according to Mr Justice Birss, does discovery. I too agree with Robin Jacob's position as expressed in Nichia. But readers, you should keep in mind that Mr Justice Jacob (as he then was) was fresh from adjudicating in the Leonard Studio case, where discovery was decisive to the outcome. | May 19 15:26 |
| schestowitz | In Leonard, the patents were on a camera dolly designed on the West Coast of the USA, not far from Hollywood. On location in England a camera grip (McAnulty) was using a dolly that exhibited several of the nice design features patented by Leonard. | May 19 15:26 |
| schestowitz | The defence was one of prior use. The managing director (Grottesi) of the manufacturer swore blind that the engineering drawings had been under his personal control at all material times. He reminded the court that they were dated significantly earlier than the US priority date. In short, the rogues in California had copied him! | May 19 15:26 |
| schestowitz | On the stand, thanks to discovery, he was confronted with the drawings, with the original dates (which as it happens were later than the exhibition of the Californian dolly at a big Trade Show) painted over with TIPPEX. His response? One thing is sure, it wasn't me that did it. This is a shoddy job whereas I am an absolute professional in everything I do. | May 19 15:26 |
| schestowitz | The thing is, can you be sure that, even today, nobody (anywhere in the world) ever changes the date on a document? | May 19 15:26 |
| schestowitz | I think that as soon as English law fact-finding is done away with, a lot more date-changing will go on. I think it is only discovery that keeps people honest (see for example the news this morning about a FIFA official in court in the USA). Let's not throw the baby out with the bathwater. | May 19 15:26 |
| schestowitz | Nevertheless, I agree with Robin Jacob, Colin Birss and the current Court Rules, that (despite cases like Leonard) discovery should be the exception not the rule. | May 19 15:26 |

| schestowitz | "Darren, that is of course a point of view but another is that Art. 32(1) of the unitary patent agreement gives the UPC exclusive jurisdiction in respect of actions for actual or threatened infringement and so the UK court has no competence is this respect. " | May 21 14:30 |
| schestowitz | " | May 21 14:31 |
| schestowitz | I think the point of view that you put forward is very strained. | May 21 14:31 |
| schestowitz | The actions referred to in Art 32(1) UPCA are: | May 21 14:31 |
| schestowitz | Actual infringement - patentee sues someone for acts that they have committed that are alleged to have infringed the patent | May 21 14:31 |
| schestowitz | Threatened infringement - patentee sues someone for acts that they have not yet committed but might do (threaten to commit), that are alleged to have infringed the patent (what in England is referred to as a quia timet action) | May 21 14:31 |
| schestowitz | Neither is the same as an unjustified threats action, which is someone sues patentee for a threat made by the patentee that the patentee will sue in a situation where there is allegedly (according to the person bringing the action) no patent infringement | May 21 14:31 |
| schestowitz | More practically, since the UPCA has no provisions for unjustified threats, but the UK Patents Act does (and if the Bill is passed into law these provisions will extend to unitary patents), I think that the UPC will hear cases of actual or threatened patent infringement, and UK courts will hear actions for unjustified threats, quite happily in parallel without any problem. I sincerely doubt that a UK court will entertain the idea that they | May 21 14:31 |
| schestowitz | are not competent to hear the threats action, and I equally doubt that the UPC will entertain a threats action for which there is no legal basis in the UPC. Of course if the patentee wants to counter-claim for infringement of a unitary patent, they would not be able to do so in the UK, and would have to go to the UPC, and there is the possibility in such a case that the threats action might be stayed pending the outcome of the UPC action. But | May 21 14:31 |
| schestowitz | if there is no counter claim, it would remain a UK-only matter. | May 21 14:31 |

| -TechBytesBot/#techbytes-ipkitten.blogspot.com | The IPKat: Does the UPC spell disaster for the EPO Boards of Appeal? | May 16 12:47 | |
| schestowitz | " | May 16 12:47 |
| schestowitz | No offence taken, MaxDrei! | May 16 12:47 |
| schestowitz | Our views are probably more similar than apparent at first glance. I mostly agree with your statements. And I am also happy to grant a patent on tiny improvements - if they are not obvious to the person skilled in the art. After all, tiny improvements usually can be circumvented easily and do not hurt the competition. | May 16 12:47 |
| schestowitz | My misgivings about the EPO-approach are, that with their strict formalisms about closest prior art and the would-could test (which may be OK in the majority of cases, but not in all cases) they dumb down this guy/gal. The person skilled in the art should be the average engineer (I am doing electronics) with more than a few years of experience. Not an Einstein, but most certainly not the guy who is laid of in the next downturn, either. | May 16 12:47 |
| schestowitz | So, for me the BGH-line on insufficient disclosure (in which the skilled person needs just the tiniest of hints on what to do, to make the disclosure sufficient) is over the top, as is the EPA-line on obviousness, where the skilled person will need massive hints to even look at different documents. | May 16 12:47 |
| schestowitz | I am not so sure, that the patent offices really are more strict now. The USPTO is still granting at an astonishing ratio. When talking to patent attorneys, they all complain about the EPO rejecting applications for formal reasons, not for material ones. They also complain about the German examiners skilled person having too much knowledge and being too smart. I assume these complaints to be at least partially founded in fact... | May 16 12:47 |

| schestowitz | So BT had rolled fiber out to my village exchange. In the UK fiber is installed from the exchange to a "green box" on the street and is copper from there. So they upgraded everyone in the villiage. Great! Lets order it. | May 19 10:56 |
| schestowitz | "Your line is not enabled for fiber and there are no plans" WTF... The local exchange is upgraded and ready! Why can't I get fiber???? | May 19 10:56 |
| schestowitz | Several months of emails to BT, the council broadband ground and I finally get told I am on a "Direct to exchange" line. There is no "Green box" on my street. The telephone copper wires run over the telegraph poles all the way back to the exchange. Its not far, about 1-1/2 miles or so. | May 19 10:56 |
| schestowitz | But, BT had no plans to replace these lines. This meant I fell into the 1-2% of the UK population that will never get fiber. | May 19 10:56 |
| schestowitz | I have to admit, that left me feeling rather peeved. | May 19 10:56 |
| schestowitz | I then get the BT vans driving around everywhere advertising the service I will never get... Double peeved. | May 19 10:56 |
| schestowitz | THEN we get a report in the news "BT has underspent £200 million of the rural broadband scheme" With £200 Million available, I don't see any excuse not to upgrade my line. Sorting out the 1-2% of the pop that cannot get it is the POINT of the money. I checked my mortgage document "Isolated rural property" Hmmmm..... | May 19 10:56 |
| schestowitz | Several emails to BT, the Council broadband group and eventually my MP. Then one to the Council group saying "I wrote to my MP, he will be contacting you." | May 19 10:56 |
| schestowitz | Surprise surprise: "We will now be upgrading all the direct to exchange lines in your village, work should be completed by December 2015" | May 19 10:56 |
| schestowitz | That actually means I can get FTTP. | May 19 10:56 |
| schestowitz | So Jan 2016 rolls around. Nothing "Theres been a delay" | May 19 10:56 |
| schestowitz | Its now mid may... The cables are on each telephone pole, down to a green box bolted to each one, but not connected to each other yet. | May 19 10:56 |
| schestowitz | So 4 months later I am STILL waiting for fiber. | May 19 10:56 |
| schestowitz | Excuse me, I think Ill go harass my MP some more. | May 19 10:56 |

But readers, you should keep in mind that Mr Justice Jacob (as he then was) was fresh from adjudicating in the Leonard Studio case, where discovery was decisive to the outcome. | May 19 15:26 |
| schestowitz | In Leonard, the patents were on a camera dolly designed on the West Coast of the USA, not far from Hollywood. On location in England a camera grip (McAnulty) was using a dolly that exhibited several of the nice design features patented by Leonard. | May 19 15:26 |
| schestowitz | The defence was one of prior use. The managing director (Grottesi) of the manufacturer swore blind that the engineering drawings had been under his personal control at all material times. He reminded the court that they were dated significantly earlier than the US priority date. In short, the rogues in California had copied him! | May 19 15:26 |
| schestowitz | On the stand, thanks to discovery, he was confronted with the drawings, with the original dates (which as it happens were later than the exhibition of the Californian dolly at a big Trade Show) painted over with TIPPEX. His response? One thing is sure, it wasn't me that did it. This is a shoddy job whereas I am an absolute professional in everything I do. | May 19 15:26 |
| schestowitz | The thing is, can you be sure that, even today, nobody (anywhere in the world) ever changes the date on a document? | May 19 15:26 |
| schestowitz | I think that as soon as English law fact-finding is done away with, a lot more date-changing will go on. I think it is only discovery that keeps people honest (see for example the news this morning about a FIFA official in court in the USA). Let's not throw the baby out with the bathwater. | May 19 15:26 |
| schestowitz | Nevertheless, I agree with Robin Jacob, Colin Birss and the current Court Rules, that (despite cases like Leonard) discovery should be the exception not the rule. | May 19 15:26 |

| schestowitz | Neither is the same as an unjustified threats action, which is someone sues patentee for a threat made by the patentee that the patentee will sue in a situation where there is allegedly (according to the person bringing the action) no patent infringement | May 21 14:31 |
| schestowitz | More practically, since the UPCA has no provisions for unjustified threats, but the UK Patents Act does (and if the Bill is passed into law these provisions will extend to unitary patents), I think that the UPC will hear cases of actual or threatened patent infringement, and UK courts will hear actions for unjustified threats, quite happily in parallel without any problem. I sincerely doubt that a UK court will entertain the idea that they | May 21 14:31 |
| schestowitz | are not competent to hear the threats action, and I equally doubt that the UPC will entertain a threats action for which there is no legal basis in the UPC. Of course if the patentee wants to counter-claim for infringement of a unitary patent, they would not be able to do so in the UK, and would have to go to the UPC, and there is the possibility in such a case that the threats action might be stayed pending the outcome of the UPC action. But | May 21 14:31 |
| schestowitz | if there is no counter claim, it would remain a UK-only matter. | May 21 14:31 |
