schestowitzWhat are your thoughts on using the reproduction right to justify a fee being paid by news aggregators copying headlines (or even snippets) from published articles? Looking at Infopaq I it's quite obvious a headline by itself can already be considered a work but does placing that "work" on your website (even without a link) constitute a reproduction for which permission is needed, unless one of the exceptions can be applied?Mar 24 18:55

schestowitzTo be kind, I find Max Drei's comments of March 17th at best stupid and preposterous.Mar 25 20:13
schestowitzAs an examiner has said clearly, a representative does know as little as an examiner whether the application he dealing with, will become a nugget, or will end up in the pile of patented technology which never came to the market.Mar 25 20:13
schestowitzCase law is clear, it is the responsibility of the applicant and/or his representative to decide upon the wording of the claims, so trying to give it more importance is not helping. Successfully patenting is not only a question of drafting claims, it is to start with correctly drafting an application. Badly drafted applications and broadly drafted claims cannot bring correct results be it for search or examination, and it backfires later inMar 25 20:13
schestowitzopposition and litigation. How many patents go down the drain due to slapdash drafting.... Remember the long term statistic: whilst only 5% of the patents are opposed, in 2/3 of the cases the patent does not come whole out of the procedure. It has either be revoked or maintained in amended form, i.e. with reduced scope. Taking away cases of public prior use which cannot be known by the EPO, prior art turning up could in a vast majority of theMar 25 20:13
schestowitzcases have been found at the search level. Why this?Mar 25 20:13
schestowitzBefore uttering such unhelpful comments like "delusion of grandeur", the compliment can easily be returned: you have an illusion of grandeur, and not the examiners you are attacking in such a stupid way. Please come down from the pedestal you think you have to lift yourself up, and this without reason.Mar 25 20:13
schestowitzI beg to disagree with the fact that cut the tail did not achieve correct results. The problem was that it was not applied over the whole of DG1 as it should have been done. Files sleeping for many years were the target of cut the tail. If the result is achieved with ECfS it is good. But the drawback of ECfS is still prima facie to churn out searches as quickly as possible in as little time as possible, and then to focus on started files. WeMar 25 20:13

schestowitzHi Anonymous,Mar 26 16:48
schestowitzRe the thin line: you're absolutely right. In all this, also add rulings like Labianca (in which the CJEU held that mere advertisement for sale on a website would be an act of distribution) that have blurred even more the distinction between communication to the public and distribution.Mar 26 16:48
schestowitzRe headlines, I agree with you that reproducing them may fall within scope of copyright post-Infopaq, as in the EU we don't have any guidance like they have, eg, in the US (where they have something like this: http://copyright.gov/circs/circ34.pdf). This said, perhaps something like the quotation exception could help, but, again, this would depend on (1) whether Member State in question has implemented it; and (2) how.Mar 26 16:48
schestowitzPersonally I believe that a reform of Article 5 InfoSoc is urgently needed: we need more mandatory exceptions on the model of Article 5(1) ... Yet, the Commission does not seem to have any specific plans to touch it.Mar 26 16:48

schestowitzWhat are your thoughts on using the reproduction right to justify a fee being paid by news aggregators copying headlines (or even snippets) from published articles? Looking at Infopaq I it's quite obvious a headline by itself can already be considered a work but does placing that "work" on your website (even without a link) constitute a reproduction for which permission is needed, unless one of the exceptions can be applied?Mar 24 18:55

schestowitzTo be kind, I find Max Drei's comments of March 17th at best stupid and preposterous.Mar 25 20:13
schestowitzAs an examiner has said clearly, a representative does know as little as an examiner whether the application he dealing with, will become a nugget, or will end up in the pile of patented technology which never came to the market.Mar 25 20:13
schestowitzCase law is clear, it is the responsibility of the applicant and/or his representative to decide upon the wording of the claims, so trying to give it more importance is not helping. Successfully patenting is not only a question of drafting claims, it is to start with correctly drafting an application. Badly drafted applications and broadly drafted claims cannot bring correct results be it for search or examination, and it backfires later inMar 25 20:13
schestowitzopposition and litigation. How many patents go down the drain due to slapdash drafting.... Remember the long term statistic: whilst only 5% of the patents are opposed, in 2/3 of the cases the patent does not come whole out of the procedure. It has either be revoked or maintained in amended form, i.e. with reduced scope. Taking away cases of public prior use which cannot be known by the EPO, prior art turning up could in a vast majority of theMar 25 20:13
schestowitzcases have been found at the search level. Why this?Mar 25 20:13
schestowitzBefore uttering such unhelpful comments like "delusion of grandeur", the compliment can easily be returned: you have an illusion of grandeur, and not the examiners you are attacking in such a stupid way. Please come down from the pedestal you think you have to lift yourself up, and this without reason.Mar 25 20:13
schestowitzI beg to disagree with the fact that cut the tail did not achieve correct results. The problem was that it was not applied over the whole of DG1 as it should have been done. Files sleeping for many years were the target of cut the tail. If the result is achieved with ECfS it is good. But the drawback of ECfS is still prima facie to churn out searches as quickly as possible in as little time as possible, and then to focus on started files. WeMar 25 20:13

schestowitzHi Anonymous,Mar 26 16:48
schestowitzRe the thin line: you're absolutely right. In all this, also add rulings like Labianca (in which the CJEU held that mere advertisement for sale on a website would be an act of distribution) that have blurred even more the distinction between communication to the public and distribution.Mar 26 16:48
schestowitzRe headlines, I agree with you that reproducing them may fall within scope of copyright post-Infopaq, as in the EU we don't have any guidance like they have, eg, in the US (where they have something like this: http://copyright.gov/circs/circ34.pdf). This said, perhaps something like the quotation exception could help, but, again, this would depend on (1) whether Member State in question has implemented it; and (2) how.Mar 26 16:48
schestowitzPersonally I believe that a reform of Article 5 InfoSoc is urgently needed: we need more mandatory exceptions on the model of Article 5(1) ... Yet, the Commission does not seem to have any specific plans to touch it.Mar 26 16:48

schestowitzWhen I passed my last direct vetting, the interviewing officer had spent four months of his life doing nothing but investigate me full time. He noted that I continued to have a rather extensive love life, but as it involved only consenting adults and I did not appear open to blackmail, it was no reason to fail me. We discussed this openly. He concluded by saying – and this may not be 100% his words but it is damn close and the sentiment wasFeb 28 07:35

schestowitz"Some people appear not to grasp the hypocrisy shown here. One rule for Germany and another for the UK. Germany can have principles and protect its interests, but the UK is just a country of selfish xenophobes. Apparently. Well, it must be true, because the UK is not part of the European Clique.

schestowitz" Since Illumina until recently held approximately 20 % of the Oxford Nanopore stock, one would imagine that they are better informed than most as to the tejchnology being used. Either the litigation is intended to stymie the public offering (a strategy which is often used but has little effect) or they believe they have a good argument, or both. "Feb 28 11:00

schestowitzI'm not sure whether this discussion is going in the right direction.Feb 28 21:05
schestowitzThe good thing is that there will now be no fee for opting eligible patents out of the competence of a potential UPC, allowing their holders to decide freely whether they want to be part of that game or not - which is something the UPC proponents were desperately seeking to avoid.Feb 28 21:05
schestowitzFor those in the know, it is quite apparent that the motivation for this step has little to do with "newly gained knowledge" about the opt-out process which, by the way, was designed by the very same people, but, from a legal standpoint, is more or less inevitable should a German ratification not be bound to fail from the outset.Feb 28 21:05

schestowitzThe promising 3,5 hours meeting took place between PD4.3 - accompanied by another 9 (!) representatives of the legal and HR department - and roughly 25 (!!) elected staff committee members (will be referred to as SR) to discuss a series of burning issues.Mar 03 22:32

schestowitz1) Petition claims: NO concessionsMar 03 22:36
schestowitz1.1) NO to revision to the Disciplinary cases: „individual cases“Mar 03 22:36
schestowitzBoth by the petitioners and the B28 members requested the revision of disciplinary cases and the immediate stop of all procedures against staff representatives until an external and independent review has taken place. PD4.3 clarified that the conditions are not met for the moment and rejecting this en block the claims of the petition and the B28.Mar 03 22:36
schestowitzThe administration insisted that these are only individual cases. The assembled staff representative clarified that these are cases of general interest, as they all touch by NO "coincidence“ staff representation officials. Outside the administration.Mar 03 22:36
schestowitzIn conclusion the SR took note that this first claim was rejected and could not detect that any intention to take immediate action on the disciplinary cases.Mar 03 22:36
schestowitz1.2) NO immediate revocation of listed reforms: „reforms are foreseen"Mar 03 22:36
schestowitzThe petition requested the revocation of all recent changes to the Service Regulations and their implementing texts concerning the legal framework. The long answer of the administration covered the fact thatMar 03 22:36

schestowitzsome revisions are allegedly taking place already, in particular the one regarding the investigation guidelines is well advanced and concrete proposals may soon be available, hence answering the request of the petion.Mar 03 22:38
schestowitzmgt insisted their "door is open“ for reviews but a "revocation is excluded" as "the Office would fall into chaos“.Mar 03 22:38
schestowitzThe SR notedMar 03 22:38
schestowitzthat the Office was already in total „chaos"Mar 03 22:38
schestowitzthat the only "open door“ noted by Staff so far was the one through which staff representatives were thrown out of the EPO: "mis à la porte“-policy would be more correct.Mar 03 22:38
schestowitzFurther the SR insisted that if such reviews were effectively taking place it would welcome not only to receive a final document but to be effec vely involved in the alleged reform processes.Mar 03 22:38
schestowitzIn conclusion the SR noted that the requested revocation in the second claim was purely and simply rejected. The SR could not detect that any serious intention to do bona fide consultation on the listed regulations.Mar 03 22:38
schestowitz1.3) NO to external media on: a „waste of me“Mar 03 22:40

schestowitzHere too, the SR had to take note that also this last claim was simply turned down and that there was no sign from the Office for some concessions.Mar 03 22:40
schestowitz"Mar 04 00:51
schestowitz1.4) NO to paper ballot: "no me"Mar 04 00:51
schestowitzFor the strike ballot the CSC nominated two staff members to overview the process. On the background of key-loggers and other recent past events, the confidentiality of the vote cannot be guaranteed at this stage. Accordingly the CSC asked the administration to have a paper ballot as it was done in 2013 for the LIFER initiative. The Administration declared that if the turn out was low, this was simply a "sign of lack of support" for theMar 04 00:51
schestowitzclaims.Mar 04 00:51
schestowitzIt was declared that the administration saw no necessity and had no me to run a paper ballot. And again, the SR took note that the simple administra ve request made by the CSC to make sure the exercise was meaningful was turned down by the administration.Mar 04 00:51
schestowitzAs a general conclusion, the SR assembled expressed their disappointment that the attempt to find common ground had failed and that the organisation of the strike ballot should proceed.Mar 04 00:51

schestowitzWhen I passed my last direct vetting, the interviewing officer had spent four months of his life doing nothing but investigate me full time. He noted that I continued to have a rather extensive love life, but as it involved only consenting adults and I did not appear open to blackmail, it was no reason to fail me. We discussed this openly. He concluded by saying – and this may not be 100% his words but it is damn close and the sentiment wasFeb 28 07:35

schestowitz"Some people appear not to grasp the hypocrisy shown here. One rule for Germany and another for the UK. Germany can have principles and protect its interests, but the UK is just a country of selfish xenophobes. Apparently. Well, it must be true, because the UK is not part of the European Clique.

schestowitz" Since Illumina until recently held approximately 20 % of the Oxford Nanopore stock, one would imagine that they are better informed than most as to the tejchnology being used. Either the litigation is intended to stymie the public offering (a strategy which is often used but has little effect) or they believe they have a good argument, or both. "Feb 28 11:00

schestowitzI'm not sure whether this discussion is going in the right direction.Feb 28 21:05
schestowitzThe good thing is that there will now be no fee for opting eligible patents out of the competence of a potential UPC, allowing their holders to decide freely whether they want to be part of that game or not - which is something the UPC proponents were desperately seeking to avoid.Feb 28 21:05
schestowitzFor those in the know, it is quite apparent that the motivation for this step has little to do with "newly gained knowledge" about the opt-out process which, by the way, was designed by the very same people, but, from a legal standpoint, is more or less inevitable should a German ratification not be bound to fail from the outset.Feb 28 21:05

schestowitzIn conclusion the SR took note that this first claim was rejected and could not detect that any intention to take immediate action on the disciplinary cases.Mar 03 22:36
schestowitz1.2) NO immediate revocation of listed reforms: „reforms are foreseen"Mar 03 22:36
schestowitzThe petition requested the revocation of all recent changes to the Service Regulations and their implementing texts concerning the legal framework. The long answer of the administration covered the fact thatMar 03 22:36

schestowitzThe SR notedMar 03 22:38
schestowitzthat the Office was already in total „chaos"Mar 03 22:38
schestowitzthat the only "open door“ noted by Staff so far was the one through which staff representatives were thrown out of the EPO: "mis à la porte“-policy would be more correct.Mar 03 22:38
schestowitzFurther the SR insisted that if such reviews were effectively taking place it would welcome not only to receive a final document but to be effec vely involved in the alleged reform processes.Mar 03 22:38
schestowitzIn conclusion the SR noted that the requested revocation in the second claim was purely and simply rejected. The SR could not detect that any serious intention to do bona fide consultation on the listed regulations.Mar 03 22:38

schestowitz1.4) NO to paper ballot: "no me"Mar 04 00:51
schestowitzFor the strike ballot the CSC nominated two staff members to overview the process. On the background of key-loggers and other recent past events, the confidentiality of the vote cannot be guaranteed at this stage. Accordingly the CSC asked the administration to have a paper ballot as it was done in 2013 for the LIFER initiative. The Administration declared that if the turn out was low, this was simply a "sign of lack of support" for theMar 04 00:51
schestowitzclaims.Mar 04 00:51
schestowitzIt was declared that the administration saw no necessity and had no me to run a paper ballot. And again, the SR took note that the simple administra ve request made by the CSC to make sure the exercise was meaningful was turned down by the administration.Mar 04 00:51
schestowitzAs a general conclusion, the SR assembled expressed their disappointment that the attempt to find common ground had failed and that the organisation of the strike ballot should proceed.Mar 04 00:51

schestowitz> FYI: More publications on this topic are in the pipeline.Mar 04 19:56
