| -TechBytesBot/#techbytes-ipkitten.blogspot.com | The IPKat: Amicus briefs and consultation in CJEU cases: a constructive comment [ http://ur1.ca/ok115 ] | Feb 21 19:42 | |
| schestowitz | "" | Feb 21 19:42 |
| schestowitz | Dear All, | Feb 21 19:42 |
| schestowitz | Although interesting - very interesting - in the context of arguments to be made concerning the unduly short time permitted for comments to be received, and therefore heard, I am afraid I do not agree that such observations are made by Member States qua amici curiae, and nor do they fall within the ambit of the normal amicus curiae rules. | Feb 21 19:42 |
| schestowitz | They are instead comments/observations from designated interested parties, namely members states of the EU, who have a particular interest (whether they pay attention or not), in the outcome of the proceedings. | Feb 21 19:42 |
| schestowitz | A different approach needs to be adopted to the issue of amicus curiae, and whether the CJEU should or does accept briefs of such a nature, bearing in mind the importance of, inter alia, equality of arms, and of being a mere "friend of the court". | Feb 21 19:42 |
| schestowitz | The ECHR does admit of, in certain cases, an amicus role, but this is because its rules specifically provide for the Court either to invite comment/observations, or in the alternative, to entertain an application to make comment as amicus curiae. The is not surprising given that its main role is to pronounce on fundamental human rights, and they may well engage or affect parties other than the parties to the particular proceedings. In those | Feb 21 19:42 |
| schestowitz | case in which this has occurred, the Commission has filed its comments or observations in the form of an amicus brief. | Feb 21 19:42 |
| schestowitz | The CJEU on the other hand, is very strict about who can appear before it, and who might have standing to do so, and has been reluctant to alter its long standing approach to hear any party outside those within the ambit of the rights granted by the Treaty(ies), or by its Charter, or by its Rules. It grants to MS, as designated interested parties, an entitlement to make observations when they wish, and only when they wish, but not as amici | Feb 21 19:42 |
| schestowitz | curiae. | Feb 21 19:42 |
| schestowitz | I am not certain we should mix up the role of a MS when it responds - as a named interested party (along with the Commission) - to a reference from another MS, with the role of parties who might wish to be admitted to proceedings as amici curiae, and the extent to which they might be so admitted. | Feb 21 19:42 |

| schestowitz | "The partnership could also be focused on improving the efficiency of GoPro's SD card storage technologies. Microsoft offers the exFAT file system (for saving larger files on flash-based storage between 32GB and 256TB) for licensing, so a cross-licensing deal might improve the ability of GoPro's next-gen cameras to save larger files." | Feb 21 23:58 |
| schestowitz | Does not say much about patent aspects. The site is close to MSN and thus Microsoft. | Feb 21 23:58 |

| -TechBytesBot/#techbytes-techcrunch.com | Microsoft And GoPro Sign Patent Licensing Deal For File Storage Technology | TechCrunch [ http://ur1.ca/ok2zh ] | Feb 21 23:59 | |
| schestowitz | " | Feb 21 23:59 |
| schestowitz | Microsoft, though its Microsoft Licensing LLC, and GoPro today announced that they have signed a collaborative patent licensing deal for “certain file storage and other system technologies.” | Feb 21 23:59 |
| schestowitz | “This agreement with GoPro shows the incredible breadth of technology sharing enabled through patent transactions,” said Nick Psyhogeos, president of Microsoft Technology Licensing, in today’s extremely brief announcement. “Microsoft’s licensing of personal wearable technologies is seeing strong demand as we partner with companies from all industries to optimize solutions for their customers around the globe.” | Feb 21 23:59 |
| schestowitz | The terms of the deal are confidential and neither Microsoft nor GoPro shared any details beyond this basic statement. It’s unclear which patents are actually covered by this, for example. | Feb 21 23:59 |
| schestowitz | It’s worth noting, though, that Microsoft Licensing explicitly lists the exFAT file system as one of the technologies that are available for licensing, so chances are this is covered under the agreement. This file system allows for saving larger files on storage media from 32GB to 256TB. The newest GoPro models can handle SD cards with up to 128GB of space. For larger cards, GoPro already uses the exFAT format, but for smaller ones under | Feb 21 23:59 |
| schestowitz | 64GB, it still uses the old FAT format, which then splits up files in 4GB segments because that’s the maximum file size for FAT32 disks. | Feb 21 23:59 |

| schestowitz | Anonymous - please read Regulation 1257/2012 (particularly the definition of "Participating Member State") and the preamble to the UPC Agreement. Both clearly rule out the participation of a country that is not an EU Member State. | Feb 22 17:28 |
| schestowitz | Whilst re-negotiation (and re-writing) of treaties such as the UPCA may be possible, extending the effect of EU legislation (such as Reg. 1257/2012) to a non-EU country would appear to be out of the question. | Feb 22 17:28 |
| schestowitz | " | Feb 22 17:28 |
| schestowitz | " | Feb 22 17:28 |
| schestowitz | Anonymous@12:46: "There is an assumption here that exiting the EU would also mean exiting the UPC agreement." | Feb 22 17:28 |
| schestowitz | It isn't an assumption, the agreement says so itself: | Feb 22 17:28 |
| schestowitz | Art. 2 UPCA: | Feb 22 17:28 |
| schestowitz | "...(b) ‘Member State’ means a Member State of the European | Feb 22 17:28 |
| schestowitz | Union. | Feb 22 17:28 |
| schestowitz | (c) ‘Contracting Member State’ means a Member State party to | Feb 22 17:28 |
| schestowitz | this Agreement." | Feb 22 17:28 |
| schestowitz | Art. 34 UPCA: | Feb 22 17:28 |
| schestowitz | "Decisions of the Court shall cover, in the case of a European | Feb 22 17:28 |
| schestowitz | patent, the territory of those Contracting Member States for | Feb 22 17:28 |
| schestowitz | which the European patent has effect." | Feb 22 17:28 |
| schestowitz | Moreover, Art. 20 UPCA explicitely states the primacy of (European) Union law by saying that the Court "shall apply Union law in its entirety and shall respect its primacy", and the agreement does not provide for Local Divisions outside of Contracting Member States (however, one significant oddity in this respect is that, since London is cited by name in Art. 7 UPCA as the site of one of the sections of the Court of First Instance, it would | Feb 22 17:29 |
| schestowitz | stay so even if the UK left the EU...even though I don't doubt for a moment that the remaining Contracting Member States wouldn't take long to amend the Agreement to substitute London with, say, The Hague or Milan). | Feb 22 17:29 |
| schestowitz | As for trying to find a "jumpseat" arrangement to keep the UK under the umbrella of the UPC, anyone who has followed the whole UPC saga from the beginning knows that a prior attempt to set up a European Patent Litigation Agreement extending beyond the EU foundered because of a conflict with the EU Treaties. | Feb 22 17:29 |
| schestowitz | So, in brief: no, exiting the EU will certainly also mean exiting the UPC Agreement, and not only because the rest of the EU will certainly run out of patience with UK demands for special treatment. | Feb 22 17:29 |
| schestowitz | Anyway, even if the UPC Agreement does not necessarily require UK ratification if the country leaves, I must say that the political turmoil that would engulf the EU in case of a Brexit would almost certainly bring the ratification process to a standstill. | Feb 22 17:29 |
| schestowitz | " | Feb 22 17:29 |
| schestowitz | " | Feb 22 17:29 |
| schestowitz | Yes but the Unitary patent requires EU membership ("particpating MS") under Regulation 1257/2012. A fundamental misunderstanding is that the Unitary patent is an EPC creation. It is not. It is a Union creation via enhanced cooperation under the Union Treaties. If a MS leaves the Union, it leaves the Unitary patent. It may still be part of the EPC. But that is not and has never been a Union body. | Feb 22 17:29 |
| schestowitz | Now the UPC is the court which will rule on the Unitary patent but also EPC patents. Unlike the Unitary patent, the UPC is governed by international law but also substantive Union law (jurisdiction, Rome 1, CJEU for preliminary references etc). Well, if the UK cannot be part of the Unitary patent once its EU membership ceases how could the UK be on the Court at all? It would have to accept the jurisdiction of the CJEU for preliminary | Feb 22 17:29 |
| schestowitz | references for starters. It would be a mess. It won't happen. It is unlikely to be given to the UK as part of post referendum negotiations as the current structure would have to be re-written in large part. Meanwhile, Spain is not in either. One senses the whole thing unravelling. | Feb 22 17:29 |
| schestowitz | ' | Feb 22 17:29 |
| schestowitz | " Article 20 of the UPC reads -"The Court shall apply Union law in its entirety and shall respect its primacy" . This cannot be re-written to say "save for [the judge appointed by] the UK (whose government) having exercised the sovereign right to leave the Union now desires to partcipate in the UPC but not to recognisee the primacy of Uniona law or the jurisdiction of the CJEU but to go off on a frolic of its own." You place a lot of faith in | Feb 22 17:29 |
| schestowitz | the UKIPO's negotiators to save this post referendum. Resources will be brought to bear elsewhere. " | Feb 22 17:29 |

| schestowitz | Right now the main issue is that I cannot log in. Nobody can. I cannot request recovery, either. I can't see all the logs (cpanel is limited), but I suspect it's an internal issue. The plugin issue seems to be a non-fatal issue (I toggled it on and off), but still no luck logging in. I even changed passwords directly on the database in an effort to get in. I guess that now, after hours looking into it, I do wonder why the DB wasn't in place | Feb 22 19:07 |
| schestowitz | at all after the migration and whether it was copied without errors after the migration. Do we know for sure that the DB is identical before and after the migration? There was no code change at all and the PHP version upgrade oughtn't be the issue for this version of wordpress (which I tested even with all plugins disabled). | Feb 22 19:07 |

| schestowitz | The EPO 'project' is proving to be a great success, as the latest leak (published hours ago) shows... it was published in a hurry due to me going to work shortly afterwards.

| schestowitz | This 'out' supporter isn't fooling himself or trying to fool anyone else. I am not a big fan of the unitary patent either and the business I work for shall not be using it at all for a good few years and only then it would be in limited circumstances. When compulsory, I am sure we will use it! | Feb 23 20:05 |
| schestowitz | If the UPC agreement falls apart due to a UK exit, that is a separate argument. There are already international agreements in place attempting to create a level playing fields to allow 'free' trade between states and they will still be required between the UK and the EU, so sorry to disappoint the EU federalists above who refuse to allow the UK to 'cherry pick'. In the event of an exit, that is exactly what is going to happen - to the mutual | Feb 23 20:05 |
| schestowitz | benefit of the UK and the EU. After all, that is how cooperation should work, but does not in the current EU, where Germany gets its way because of its little hangers-on. | Feb 23 20:05 |
| schestowitz | It may burst a few bubbles in the world of private practice (patent firms and law firms), but industry appreciates that patent validity is usually a tenuous affair, and risking losing a company's crown jewels in a single swipe is a non-starter. Even a non-UK encompassing UPC would be treated likewise. Combine Germany with Austria, Belgium, , Luxembourg, Romania etc, then I would use it, but the big markets I will keep separate. | Feb 23 20:05 |
| schestowitz | When I travel to Europe I see more local-produced cars and overseas-produced cars (i.e. in Germany I see many BMW, Audi and VW, but very few Fords. The increase in Ford sales in the UK would more than compensate for the losses in Germany, should the EU sulk like a spoilt little brat post a UK-exit. | Feb 23 20:05 |
| schestowitz | There is one important reason why Germany would prefer the UK to remain in the EU, and that it because it doesn't want the extra burden of supporting all the hanger-on states (and the French farmers - mustn't upset the French farmers!). | Feb 23 20:05 |

| schestowitz | "A key area for EU-UK laws will be those required to allow free-trade to prosper and a unitary patent covering the UK may be considered of value." | Feb 23 20:05 |
| schestowitz | From a UK perspective, perhaps, but for the rest of Europe the UK is just a relatively small part of the market. Cutting a small part of the market off from the majority of the market is going to hurt the small part much more. | Feb 23 20:05 |
| schestowitz | We would be negotiating from a position of relative weakness, and very unlikely to get any free-trade agreement anywhere near as good for the UK as what we currently have. | Feb 23 20:05 |
| schestowitz | From an entirely different perspective, events unrolling in Ukraine over the past few years are an example of how a country that is not part of the EU can be left vulnerable. Having a (reasonably) united front makes us much more secure than otherwise. | Feb 23 20:05 |
| schestowitz | Iain Duncan Smith's rhetoric about border protection is nonsense given that the UK is not part of the Schengen agreement. | Feb 23 20:05 |

| schestowitz | Well, that would rather seem to disprove your point, considering that Ford produces cars in Germany (800,000 of them yearly, according to Ford Germany's webpage), but none in the UK. | Feb 23 20:06 |
| schestowitz | Ford moved final assembly out of the UK (to Germany, among other places) a few years ago. Which is not to say that Ford doesn't have significant production facilities in the UK: it produces engines and transmissions for its European factories in the UK. I guess that those engine factories would indeed be in a precarious situation if even the slightest trade barrier was to be erected between the UK and the Continent.

| schestowitz | to the UPC, large corporations like Ford are notoriously risk-averse. Facing the risk of such trade barriers, how do you think they'd react: by moving engine production out of the UK or car assembly back into the UK? Which one represents the highest risk? | Feb 23 20:06 |
| schestowitz | Trade is not a zero-sum game. The modern economy has increasingly complex logistic chains. Corporations will avoid anything that may disrupt those logistic chains. Faced with a choice between a middle-sized market, like the UK, and a large one, like the EU, where do you think that they'll concentrate their logistics? | Feb 23 20:06 |

| schestowitz | With regards to the unitary patent, a number of questions regarding dual protection arises. First, do the national provisions regarding double patenting under the EPC extend to unitary patents? Secondly, how should the relationship between "duplicate" unitary and national patents be regulated? Mark has some ideas about that. | Feb 23 20:10 |

| schestowitz | Meldrew, read Maxdrei's post which confirms the power games in Brussels. The France-Germany link has always been the stronger. Germany would clearly prefer the UK to stay, but must realize it has shot itself in the foot over many years. They have done so, not just to the detriment of the UK, but also to other countries.

But it might be compatible with a vision of England as a Casino and Tax Haven that is bigger, less heavily regulated and better (location, location, location) than rivals such as Singapore. | Feb 24 17:33 |
| schestowitz | Which vision is the more pragmatic though? Aren't both of them doomed, in the long term? | Feb 24 17:33 |
| schestowitz | Which vision is better for the UK's 70 million inhabitants? Shall London make enough jubbly to compensate for the remainder of the country sliding into ever-greater poverty? Will the task of Great Britain outside the Home Counties come down to rendering services to the mighty finance industry in London? Is that how BoJo sees the future? Is that how the pols have seen it ever since Margaret Thatcher's time? | Feb 24 17:34 |
| schestowitz | When we last voted on Union with Europe, we still had a significantly British-owned manufacturing industry. Perhaps that was important, for those who, back then, voted for Union. | Feb 24 17:34 |

| schestowitz | actually it costs lots of money to file a patent, a LOT, a shed load if you will. The missus worked there and explained how much cash a NPO makes... No wonder they had cash for covert operations etc. It costs a lot of money to patent your product in all the Patent Offices. Many inventors can barely afford a patent in one office. | Feb 25 10:41 |

| schestowitz | "The article presents both sides of the argument." | Feb 25 10:43 |
| schestowitz | I beg to differ. It certainly presents perspectives from both sides but that alone does not constitute balance. An organization like the EPO is not going to pitch up one day and decide to take employment action against staff for no good reason. | Feb 25 10:43 |
| schestowitz | If the EPO has been under-performing, and seems from other El Reg comments that it has, one possible reason is because the staff are under-performing or unwilling to accept new practices that allow them to perform better. No doubt the leaders of any such resistance would be those involved in the union. So if the EPO needs to be reformed and staff working practices need to be reformed and there is resistance some action needs to be taken. And | Feb 25 10:43 |
| schestowitz | presumably after considerable consultation. | Feb 25 10:43 |
| schestowitz | But none of this type of history is apparent from the article. Instead it is presented as the President is the guilty party. Did the EPO President just decide to persecute some union supporting members of staff? If so, he deserves the censure but it seem unlikely that's the way it has played out not least because the executive will be staffed with capable HR types. | Feb 25 10:43 |
| schestowitz | In the meantime, it seems very likely the union has co-opted its friends on the left of politics in the EU so take positions on the board so they can take the line they have. | Feb 25 10:43 |
| schestowitz | The article make no constructive alternative suggestions so appears to me, a complete outsider, that the author could also be part of the campaign against the EPO president. | Feb 25 10:43 |

| r_schestowitz | Labour dispute. The management board of the European Patent Office wants an investigation of the manner it’s being governed. | Feb 26 04:13 |
| r_schestowitz | The ongoing crisis at the European Patent Office (EPO) appears to turn against its critized president, the Frenchman Benoît Battistelli. The highest body of the office, the management board representing the 38 member states, wants an external investigation in to the punitive measures that Battistelli (65) imposed on union members. | Feb 26 04:13 |
| r_schestowitz | It is an unexpected twist in the battle between the office, that’s granting European patents and has one of its bases in the Dutch municipality of Rijswijk, and the unions. The ‘authoritarian’ style of governance and the work pressure induced tensions and even several suicides among employees, according to the unions. Battistelli however claims the unions are trying to sabotage his reforms. A number of leading union members have been | Feb 26 04:13 |
| r_schestowitz | suspended and will possibly be fired, one of them is the chairwoman of the Dutch branch, Elizabeth Hardon. | Feb 26 04:13 |
| r_schestowitz | The chairman of the management board, the Dane Jesper Kongstad now writes in a letter that the disciplinairy measures have led to “very serious concerns” about the “proper functioning” of the office. The regulators unfortunately weren’t able to have a “meaningful dialogue” about this with Battistelli. Despite of protest by the president, the board wants to have the punitive measures investigated as well as suspended. Next | Feb 26 04:13 |
| r_schestowitz | month the member states will vote on the proposal. The letter is noteworthy because only last year Battistelli was reappointed until 2018 by the management board. | Feb 26 04:13 |
| r_schestowitz | Yesterday Battistelli has invited the unions for a talk on “any topic” concerning working conditions. Last month the Supreme Court also commended the office and the unions for mediation. | Feb 26 04:13 |

| r_schestowitz | What next? Will the EPO establish its own military, armed by Lockheed Martin, and conduct "training exercises" over various European borders? | Feb 26 13:41 |
| r_schestowitz | On the other hand, the good news is that, under the terms of UN Security Council resolutions, we can in fact make a legal declaration of war against the EPO, and then bomb it into oblivion, where it belongs. | Feb 26 13:41 |

| r_schestowitz | Apple talks about iCloud synchronisation (which obviously puts data in Apple’s hands) and about asking NSA for help (which might mean two things: physical “de-capping” or using a potential 0day exploit owned by NSA). | Feb 26 14:11 |

| -TechBytesBot/#techbytes-ipkitten.blogspot.com | The IPKat: Amicus briefs and consultation in CJEU cases: a constructive comment [ http://ur1.ca/ok115 ] | Feb 21 19:42 | |
| schestowitz | "" | Feb 21 19:42 |
| schestowitz | Dear All, | Feb 21 19:42 |
| schestowitz | Although interesting - very interesting - in the context of arguments to be made concerning the unduly short time permitted for comments to be received, and therefore heard, I am afraid I do not agree that such observations are made by Member States qua amici curiae, and nor do they fall within the ambit of the normal amicus curiae rules. | Feb 21 19:42 |
| schestowitz | They are instead comments/observations from designated interested parties, namely members states of the EU, who have a particular interest (whether they pay attention or not), in the outcome of the proceedings. | Feb 21 19:42 |
| schestowitz | A different approach needs to be adopted to the issue of amicus curiae, and whether the CJEU should or does accept briefs of such a nature, bearing in mind the importance of, inter alia, equality of arms, and of being a mere "friend of the court". | Feb 21 19:42 |
| schestowitz | The ECHR does admit of, in certain cases, an amicus role, but this is because its rules specifically provide for the Court either to invite comment/observations, or in the alternative, to entertain an application to make comment as amicus curiae. The is not surprising given that its main role is to pronounce on fundamental human rights, and they may well engage or affect parties other than the parties to the particular proceedings. In those | Feb 21 19:42 |
| schestowitz | case in which this has occurred, the Commission has filed its comments or observations in the form of an amicus brief. | Feb 21 19:42 |
| schestowitz | The CJEU on the other hand, is very strict about who can appear before it, and who might have standing to do so, and has been reluctant to alter its long standing approach to hear any party outside those within the ambit of the rights granted by the Treaty(ies), or by its Charter, or by its Rules. It grants to MS, as designated interested parties, an entitlement to make observations when they wish, and only when they wish, but not as amici | Feb 21 19:42 |
| schestowitz | curiae. | Feb 21 19:42 |
| schestowitz | I am not certain we should mix up the role of a MS when it responds - as a named interested party (along with the Commission) - to a reference from another MS, with the role of parties who might wish to be admitted to proceedings as amici curiae, and the extent to which they might be so admitted. | Feb 21 19:42 |

| schestowitz | "The partnership could also be focused on improving the efficiency of GoPro's SD card storage technologies. Microsoft offers the exFAT file system (for saving larger files on flash-based storage between 32GB and 256TB) for licensing, so a cross-licensing deal might improve the ability of GoPro's next-gen cameras to save larger files." | Feb 21 23:58 |

| -TechBytesBot/#techbytes-techcrunch.com | Microsoft And GoPro Sign Patent Licensing Deal For File Storage Technology | TechCrunch [ http://ur1.ca/ok2zh ] | Feb 21 23:59 | |
| schestowitz | " | Feb 21 23:59 |
| schestowitz | Microsoft, though its Microsoft Licensing LLC, and GoPro today announced that they have signed a collaborative patent licensing deal for “certain file storage and other system technologies.” | Feb 21 23:59 |
| schestowitz | “This agreement with GoPro shows the incredible breadth of technology sharing enabled through patent transactions,” said Nick Psyhogeos, president of Microsoft Technology Licensing, in today’s extremely brief announcement. “Microsoft’s licensing of personal wearable technologies is seeing strong demand as we partner with companies from all industries to optimize solutions for their customers around the globe.” | Feb 21 23:59 |
| schestowitz | The terms of the deal are confidential and neither Microsoft nor GoPro shared any details beyond this basic statement. It’s unclear which patents are actually covered by this, for example. | Feb 21 23:59 |
| schestowitz | It’s worth noting, though, that Microsoft Licensing explicitly lists the exFAT file system as one of the technologies that are available for licensing, so chances are this is covered under the agreement. This file system allows for saving larger files on storage media from 32GB to 256TB. The newest GoPro models can handle SD cards with up to 128GB of space. For larger cards, GoPro already uses the exFAT format, but for smaller ones under | Feb 21 23:59 |
| schestowitz | 64GB, it still uses the old FAT format, which then splits up files in 4GB segments because that’s the maximum file size for FAT32 disks. | Feb 21 23:59 |

| schestowitz | Anonymous - please read Regulation 1257/2012 (particularly the definition of "Participating Member State") and the preamble to the UPC Agreement. Both clearly rule out the participation of a country that is not an EU Member State. | Feb 22 17:28 |
| schestowitz | Whilst re-negotiation (and re-writing) of treaties such as the UPCA may be possible, extending the effect of EU legislation (such as Reg. 1257/2012) to a non-EU country would appear to be out of the question. | Feb 22 17:28 |

| schestowitz | " | Feb 22 17:28 |
| schestowitz | Anonymous@12:46: "There is an assumption here that exiting the EU would also mean exiting the UPC agreement." | Feb 22 17:28 |
| schestowitz | It isn't an assumption, the agreement says so itself: | Feb 22 17:28 |
| schestowitz | Art. 2 UPCA: | Feb 22 17:28 |
| schestowitz | "...(b) ‘Member State’ means a Member State of the European | Feb 22 17:28 |
| schestowitz | Union. | Feb 22 17:28 |
| schestowitz | (c) ‘Contracting Member State’ means a Member State party to | Feb 22 17:28 |
| schestowitz | this Agreement." | Feb 22 17:28 |
| schestowitz | Art. 34 UPCA: | Feb 22 17:28 |
| schestowitz | "Decisions of the Court shall cover, in the case of a European | Feb 22 17:28 |
| schestowitz | patent, the territory of those Contracting Member States for | Feb 22 17:28 |
| schestowitz | which the European patent has effect." | Feb 22 17:28 |
| schestowitz | Moreover, Art. 20 UPCA explicitely states the primacy of (European) Union law by saying that the Court "shall apply Union law in its entirety and shall respect its primacy", and the agreement does not provide for Local Divisions outside of Contracting Member States (however, one significant oddity in this respect is that, since London is cited by name in Art. 7 UPCA as the site of one of the sections of the Court of First Instance, it would | Feb 22 17:28 |
| schestowitz | stay so even if the UK left the EU...even though I don't doubt for a moment that the remaining Contracting Member States wouldn't take long to amend the Agreement to substitute London with, say, The Hague or Milan). | Feb 22 17:29 |
| schestowitz | As for trying to find a "jumpseat" arrangement to keep the UK under the umbrella of the UPC, anyone who has followed the whole UPC saga from the beginning knows that a prior attempt to set up a European Patent Litigation Agreement extending beyond the EU foundered because of a conflict with the EU Treaties. | Feb 22 17:29 |
| schestowitz | So, in brief: no, exiting the EU will certainly also mean exiting the UPC Agreement, and not only because the rest of the EU will certainly run out of patience with UK demands for special treatment. | Feb 22 17:29 |
| schestowitz | Anyway, even if the UPC Agreement does not necessarily require UK ratification if the country leaves, I must say that the political turmoil that would engulf the EU in case of a Brexit would almost certainly bring the ratification process to a standstill. | Feb 22 17:29 |
| schestowitz | " | Feb 22 17:29 |
| schestowitz | " | Feb 22 17:29 |
| schestowitz | Yes but the Unitary patent requires EU membership ("particpating MS") under Regulation 1257/2012. A fundamental misunderstanding is that the Unitary patent is an EPC creation. It is not. It is a Union creation via enhanced cooperation under the Union Treaties. If a MS leaves the Union, it leaves the Unitary patent. It may still be part of the EPC. But that is not and has never been a Union body. | Feb 22 17:29 |
| schestowitz | Now the UPC is the court which will rule on the Unitary patent but also EPC patents. Unlike the Unitary patent, the UPC is governed by international law but also substantive Union law (jurisdiction, Rome 1, CJEU for preliminary references etc). Well, if the UK cannot be part of the Unitary patent once its EU membership ceases how could the UK be on the Court at all? It would have to accept the jurisdiction of the CJEU for preliminary | Feb 22 17:29 |
| schestowitz | references for starters. It would be a mess. It won't happen. It is unlikely to be given to the UK as part of post referendum negotiations as the current structure would have to be re-written in large part. Meanwhile, Spain is not in either. One senses the whole thing unravelling. | Feb 22 17:29 |
| schestowitz | ' | Feb 22 17:29 |
| schestowitz | " Article 20 of the UPC reads -"The Court shall apply Union law in its entirety and shall respect its primacy" . This cannot be re-written to say "save for [the judge appointed by] the UK (whose government) having exercised the sovereign right to leave the Union now desires to partcipate in the UPC but not to recognisee the primacy of Uniona law or the jurisdiction of the CJEU but to go off on a frolic of its own." You place a lot of faith in | Feb 22 17:29 |
| schestowitz | the UKIPO's negotiators to save this post referendum. Resources will be brought to bear elsewhere. " | Feb 22 17:29 |

| schestowitz | Hi, | Feb 22 19:07 |
| schestowitz | Right now the main issue is that I cannot log in. Nobody can. I cannot request recovery, either. I can't see all the logs (cpanel is limited), but I suspect it's an internal issue. The plugin issue seems to be a non-fatal issue (I toggled it on and off), but still no luck logging in. I even changed passwords directly on the database in an effort to get in. I guess that now, after hours looking into it, I do wonder why the DB wasn't in place | Feb 22 19:07 |
| schestowitz | at all after the migration and whether it was copied without errors after the migration. Do we know for sure that the DB is identical before and after the migration? There was no code change at all and the PHP version upgrade oughtn't be the issue for this version of wordpress (which I tested even with all plugins disabled). | Feb 22 19:07 |

| schestowitz | The information about the IU which we are planning to send you is basically from publicly accessible sources on the Internet or "common knowledge" circulating inside the EPO and we would not regard it as confidential. Some of it relates to aspects of stories that have already been covered by TechRights and other blogs. | Feb 22 20:50 |
| schestowitz | As we don't know what other "personal details" about the IU you got from other sources, we can't really comment on that information and whether or not you should publish it or whether it bears any relation to what we are planning to send you. | Feb 22 20:50 |

| schestowitz | Hi, | Feb 22 20:51 |
| schestowitz | I require urgent response to this question/query. | Feb 22 20:51 |
| schestowitz | I was previously provided personal details on members of the I.U., which I was given permission to share before the source asking NOT to share (related to pressure on xxxxx, I suspect). I don't know who knows who and who speaks to whom (among my sources), but will it be permissible to publish that when additional details are sent? I am very eager to shed light on members of the I.U. and their dubious methods that are designed to entrap and | Feb 22 20:51 |
| schestowitz | chill. | Feb 22 20:51 |
| schestowitz | Not publicising these details is, IMHO, allows the perpetrators to stay in the shadow and subject more people to suicide-inducing (or lack of appetite etc.) treatment. This needs to stop and transparency can help. Thanks in advance for a prompt response. I shall examine the new material this week. | Feb 22 20:51 |

| schestowitz | - The photos of Florian Andres and Sebastian Bauer were taken at demonstrations in a public space in front of the main EPO building in Munich and have been pixellated to obscure other persons present. | Feb 22 20:52 |

| schestowitz | The EPO 'project' is proving to be a great success, as the latest leak (published hours ago) shows... it was published in a hurry due to me going to work shortly afterwards.

| schestowitz | This 'out' supporter isn't fooling himself or trying to fool anyone else. I am not a big fan of the unitary patent either and the business I work for shall not be using it at all for a good few years and only then it would be in limited circumstances. When compulsory, I am sure we will use it! | Feb 23 20:05 |
| schestowitz | If the UPC agreement falls apart due to a UK exit, that is a separate argument. There are already international agreements in place attempting to create a level playing fields to allow 'free' trade between states and they will still be required between the UK and the EU, so sorry to disappoint the EU federalists above who refuse to allow the UK to 'cherry pick'. In the event of an exit, that is exactly what is going to happen - to the mutual | Feb 23 20:05 |
| schestowitz | benefit of the UK and the EU. After all, that is how cooperation should work, but does not in the current EU, where Germany gets its way because of its little hangers-on. | Feb 23 20:05 |
| schestowitz | It may burst a few bubbles in the world of private practice (patent firms and law firms), but industry appreciates that patent validity is usually a tenuous affair, and risking losing a company's crown jewels in a single swipe is a non-starter. Even a non-UK encompassing UPC would be treated likewise. Combine Germany with Austria, Belgium, , Luxembourg, Romania etc, then I would use it, but the big markets I will keep separate. | Feb 23 20:05 |
| schestowitz | When I travel to Europe I see more local-produced cars and overseas-produced cars (i.e. in Germany I see many BMW, Audi and VW, but very few Fords. The increase in Ford sales in the UK would more than compensate for the losses in Germany, should the EU sulk like a spoilt little brat post a UK-exit. | Feb 23 20:05 |
| schestowitz | There is one important reason why Germany would prefer the UK to remain in the EU, and that it because it doesn't want the extra burden of supporting all the hanger-on states (and the French farmers - mustn't upset the French farmers!). | Feb 23 20:05 |
| schestowitz | " | Feb 23 20:05 |

| schestowitz | "A key area for EU-UK laws will be those required to allow free-trade to prosper and a unitary patent covering the UK may be considered of value." | Feb 23 20:05 |
| schestowitz | From a UK perspective, perhaps, but for the rest of Europe the UK is just a relatively small part of the market. Cutting a small part of the market off from the majority of the market is going to hurt the small part much more. | Feb 23 20:05 |
| schestowitz | We would be negotiating from a position of relative weakness, and very unlikely to get any free-trade agreement anywhere near as good for the UK as what we currently have. | Feb 23 20:05 |
| schestowitz | From an entirely different perspective, events unrolling in Ukraine over the past few years are an example of how a country that is not part of the EU can be left vulnerable. Having a (reasonably) united front makes us much more secure than otherwise. | Feb 23 20:05 |
| schestowitz | Iain Duncan Smith's rhetoric about border protection is nonsense given that the UK is not part of the Schengen agreement. | Feb 23 20:05 |
| schestowitz | We already have a good, balanced position with respect to the EU (not in the Euro-zone and not in the Schengen agreement) - leaving it completely would hurt us a lot more than it could help. | Feb 23 20:06 |

| schestowitz | Well, that would rather seem to disprove your point, considering that Ford produces cars in Germany (800,000 of them yearly, according to Ford Germany's webpage), but none in the UK. | Feb 23 20:06 |
| schestowitz | Ford moved final assembly out of the UK (to Germany, among other places) a few years ago. Which is not to say that Ford doesn't have significant production facilities in the UK: it produces engines and transmissions for its European factories in the UK. I guess that those engine factories would indeed be in a precarious situation if even the slightest trade barrier was to be erected between the UK and the Continent. As you noted with respect | Feb 23 20:06 |
| schestowitz | to the UPC, large corporations like Ford are notoriously risk-averse. Facing the risk of such trade barriers, how do you think they'd react: by moving engine production out of the UK or car assembly back into the UK? Which one represents the highest risk? | Feb 23 20:06 |
| schestowitz | Trade is not a zero-sum game. The modern economy has increasingly complex logistic chains. Corporations will avoid anything that may disrupt those logistic chains. Faced with a choice between a middle-sized market, like the UK, and a large one, like the EU, where do you think that they'll concentrate their logistics? | Feb 23 20:06 |

| schestowitz | With regards to the unitary patent, a number of questions regarding dual protection arises.

Secondly, how should the relationship between "duplicate" unitary and national patents be regulated? Mark has some ideas about that. | Feb 23 20:10 |

| schestowitz | Meldrew, read Maxdrei's post which confirms the power games in Brussels. The France-Germany link has always been the stronger. Germany would clearly prefer the UK to stay, but must realize it has shot itself in the foot over many years. They have done so, not just to the detriment of the UK, but also to other countries. Germany has to take precedent over the likes of Greece, as a very good example. | Feb 24 17:33 |
| schestowitz | It is not xenophobic to be aware of the facts. | Feb 24 17:33 |
| schestowitz | To MAxD: It is not a case of walking off the playing field, but is truly a case of realising the visions of others (federalism, single currency, EU-defence force) is not something many of us aspire too. Even when the UK votes to stay in the UK it will be because of a lack of clear explanation as to the pros/cons and an understanding of life outside the EU (this is true fear - No spine, no bottle, no nerve, no social skills, no good at | Feb 24 17:33 |
| schestowitz | penalties). Similar to the Scotland vote recently. | Feb 24 17:33 |
| schestowitz | There are many many benefits to the EU, but the power needs of individuals is taking it to a disastrous place. Cooperation outside of the EU regime would work much better. The EPC works very well. The EU SPC regulation is a disaster. | Feb 24 17:33 |

| schestowitz | Not sure that pushing for a de-coupling from Europe is compatible with any notions of a "Northern Powerhouse". But it might be compatible with a vision of England as a Casino and Tax Haven that is bigger, less heavily regulated and better (location, location, location) than rivals such as Singapore. | Feb 24 17:33 |
| schestowitz | Which vision is the more pragmatic though? Aren't both of them doomed, in the long term? | Feb 24 17:33 |
| schestowitz | Which vision is better for the UK's 70 million inhabitants? Shall London make enough jubbly to compensate for the remainder of the country sliding into ever-greater poverty? Will the task of Great Britain outside the Home Counties come down to rendering services to the mighty finance industry in London? Is that how BoJo sees the future? Is that how the pols have seen it ever since Margaret Thatcher's time? | Feb 24 17:34 |
| schestowitz | When we last voted on Union with Europe, we still had a significantly British-owned manufacturing industry. Perhaps that was important, for those who, back then, voted for Union. | Feb 24 17:34 |
