| schestowitz | Don't be too pessimistic. Remember that patents are a type of tax. The member states ceded this sovereign tax-raising power to the EPO on condition that the EPO render a share of the tax revenue back to them. The fact that the EPO is the first supranational tax-raising organ in Europe has largely escaped public attention so far. However, if the current bunch of misfits continues to drive the EPO into ignominy, it will only be a matter of time | Jan 31 10:53 |
| schestowitz | before the media (not least in the UK) wakes up to the fact that part of our sovereign authority is now under the control of an expensive, self-interested organisation managed by a nepotistic cabal under a despotic Enarque. The political fallout from such public scrutiny could be significant. And if it does come to this, then the Administrative Council will disown Battistelli and his cronies pretty smartly. | Jan 31 10:53 |

| schestowitz | In order to close The Hague "faster than you can count to three", wouldn't that require a diplomatic conference? Isn't that the same diplomatic conference that is required at least every five years according to article 4a EPC, is already years past due, and which the EPO management seems to want to avoid entirely, despite art. 4a? | Jan 31 10:54 |

| schestowitz | me: Details about what's being backed up can be found in /etc/rsnapshot.main.conf on the xxxx. The files are being pulled by the backup server rather than pushed onto it from each individual machine, so these settings are centralised. | Feb 01 20:26 |
| schestowitz | working on a backup solution at the moment... | Feb 01 20:26 |
| schestowitz | Details about the utility at the core of it all can be found at http://rsnapshot.org/ | Feb 01 20:27 |
| -TechBytesBot/#techbytes-rsnapshot.org | rsnapshot | rsnapshot | Feb 01 20:27 | |
| schestowitz | he backup drive is always mounted under /srv/backups | Feb 01 20:31 |
| schestowitz | /srv/backups/main/ is where the backups du jour will go. | Feb 01 20:31 |
| schestowitz | Retention will be: one for 12 month, 4 for a month (i.e. about weekly), and daily for the past week (i.e. 7 days) | Feb 01 20:33 |
| schestowitz | Additional configuration parameter can be found in /etc/rsnapshot.common.conf | Feb 01 20:35 |
| schestowitz | The goal is to accumulate periodic backups, stacked up at different periods of time (further apart for older backups), in order to facilitate D-R or address other issues, such as accidentally deleted files. | Feb 01 20:36 |
| schestowitz | Files of interest are configuration files, programs, and users' files in the home directory, thus we have: | Feb 01 20:38 |
| schestowitz | backup /home/ localhost/ | Feb 01 20:38 |
| schestowitz | backup /etc/ localhost/ | Feb 01 20:39 |
| schestowitz | backup /usr/local/ localhost/ | Feb 01 20:39 |
| schestowitz | There are files that are not so setup-specific and can be retrieved at installation time, hence they're not so essential to back up. | Feb 01 20:42 |
| schestowitz | The order of file creation depends on the backup sequence, but a look at one nightly backup reveals that backups start at around 4 and finish at around 8: | Feb 01 20:50 |
| schestowitz | At the time of writing about 1.7TB is used and 1.7TB (51%) is available out of 3.6TB in the drive inserted and mounted on /srv/backups | Feb 01 20:53 |

| schestowitz | No Taxation without, | Feb 01 22:26 |
| schestowitz | Sorry, but he tax meme still fails. | Feb 01 22:26 |
| schestowitz | One can fully and freely innovate without partaking in the choice of engaging the patent system. | Feb 01 22:26 |
| schestowitz | Further, any monies spent IN the patent system are monies for a service. | Feb 01 22:26 |
| schestowitz | You confuse the "pay to whom" as necessarily meaning that such is a tax. | Feb 01 22:26 |
| schestowitz | It is not. | Feb 01 22:26 |
| schestowitz | That meme needs to be put to rest. | Feb 01 22:26 |
| schestowitz | " | Feb 01 22:26 |
| schestowitz | " | Feb 01 22:26 |
| schestowitz | Sorry, but does that mean VAT isn't a tax because I don't have to buy the goods? Or that stamp duty paid as a percentage of a property isn't a tax because I don't have to buy the property? The fact that I have an option to do something or not doesn't make the amount charged not a tax. With regard to patents, participation in the system requires certain payments. Choosing not to enter the system is hardly the same as entering it in terms of | Feb 01 22:26 |
| schestowitz | effect. Unless that means the system has no benefit to entrants. But you will not be freely innovating if you have no protection, unless having no patent equals having a patent. | Feb 01 22:26 |
| schestowitz | As for the fees being passed on when you get a monopoly, that doesn't make it less of a cost. Indeed it serves to make demand lower assuming price/demand relationships. And those who do not acquire exclusion rights or are unable to sell their product? | Feb 01 22:26 |

| -TechBytesBot/#techbytes-arstechnica.co.uk | Welcome to EPOnia, the strange land of European patents that is outside the law | Ars Technica UK [ http://ur1.ca/oh25z ] | Feb 02 20:40 | |
| schestowitz | " | Feb 02 20:40 |
| schestowitz | Excellent article on the ludicrous internal governance of the EPO. Patent attorneys have been seeing this information coming out as rumours, informally from examiners and from blogs like IPKat, but it's damning to see it all in one place. | Feb 02 20:40 |
| schestowitz | The last part goes astray though. The main obstacle to patent trolls is not the absence of an EU-wide patent, but that the EPO does not grant business method patents, at all. There's almost nothing like the class of business-method-but-on-the-internet patents which the USPTO gaily issued and provided such happy employment for the Eastern District of Texas. The ambiguity in language in the 'computer programs as such' exclusion doesn't apply to | Feb 02 20:40 |
| schestowitz | business method patent applications, which are regarded as not technical, whatever 'technical' means, and are generally kicked out first chance the examiner gets. Even when the Unitary Patent system actually goes live, this won't change. In any case, if a troll does get a granted patent, the patent need only be knocked out in one jurisdiction to revoke it for the whole of the EU, something which isn't true now. | Feb 02 20:40 |
| schestowitz | " | Feb 02 20:40 |
| schestowitz | " | Feb 02 20:40 |
| schestowitz | Even if only half of the article is correct, the countries which created the EPO have to close down the management and start again. This is so far beyond what is acceptable in any part of the EU. | Feb 02 20:40 |
| schestowitz | At the very least the EPO must be made subject to normal employment laws, there has to be checks and balances and all allegations against the boss must be subject to independent investigation | Feb 02 20:40 |
| schestowitz | " | Feb 02 20:40 |
| schestowitz | "In Denmark we even had that monstrosity up for election since the unitary patent was a secession of power, and it got approved by some 80%+ despite all expects warning everybody this place was shit and joining it was a trap. " | Feb 02 20:41 |

| schestowitz | This should all be an academic discussion for the UK as we'll probably bail out of the EU sooner or later... " | Feb 02 20:41 |
| schestowitz | " | Feb 02 20:41 |
| schestowitz | Well, the EPO's "refreshingly unconventional" approach to employee rights certainly does sound very much like the wet dream of exactly the kind of UK based people who want to leave the EU. | Feb 02 20:41 |
| schestowitz | If you would have bothered to read the article, you would've noticed that most of the problems addressed are down to the EU not having any sort of meaningful power over an organisation that clearly sees itself above EU laws and is single-mindedly hell-bent on churning out as much patents as possible. | Feb 02 20:41 |

| schestowitz | " | Feb 02 20:55 |
| schestowitz | Think you guys lose perspective. What about an study on judges? | Feb 02 20:55 |
| schestowitz | I believe that you will find that courts have an invalidity rate which is proportional to the number of case they handle. | Feb 02 20:55 |
| schestowitz | Courts with very few cases (i.e. courts not specialised in patents) tend to have very low invalidity rates. | Feb 02 20:55 |
| schestowitz | The reason? Well, a (board of) judges may develop an own criterion only by seeing a number cases. | Feb 02 20:55 |
| schestowitz | Problem in Europe? Well, the EPO does not take into account national criteria on invalidity. | Feb 02 20:55 |
| schestowitz | In any case, MaxDrei has a point. No alleged infringer enters the court room unless it has no other option available, while the opposite is not always true (the patent passed an exam indeed and nobody cares about infringement which are not damaging the commercial results of the company, while dubious cases are usually given a try), so invalidity rates between 50% and 33% are not to be frowned upon "as such". | Feb 02 20:55 |
| schestowitz | What is more worrying is that the invalidity rate of software patents is much higher. There is something wrong with them (Lack of prior art, big companies influencing the examination process???) | Feb 02 20:55 |
| schestowitz | " | Feb 02 20:55 |
| schestowitz | " | Feb 02 20:55 |
| schestowitz | Before anyone starts using this as a stick with which to beat patents in general, or the quality of drafting, or the quality of examination, it should be noted that patents which are the subject of nullity proceedings are *not* necessarily a representative sample of patents overall. Patents which are the subject of litigation are necessarily a biased sample. | Feb 02 20:55 |
| schestowitz | If you will permit a generalisation, is not one possible explanation that an invalidity challenge will normally only be issued when there is a reasonably strong case for invalidation and/or sufficient economic/strategic advantage to make it worth the gamble (e.g. as a counterclaim in an infringement suit)? Thus, weak patents are overrepresented, and strong patents underrepresented, in litigation compared to their relative proportions among | Feb 02 20:55 |
| schestowitz | granted patents as a whole. | Feb 02 20:55 |

| schestowitz | I add my compliments to Mr Moody for doing a fine job. It might have been a tad more useful to the public to have pointed out to the public just how demanding is the job at the EPO. Too lenient on Patentability and you give applicants 20 years of exclusive rights on something that isn't an invention at all. Too strict though and deserving inventors get done out of their just reward. How many would be EPO examiners can assess what is obvious | Feb 03 19:46 |
| schestowitz | in some esoteric field of technology, in any of the three official languages of the EPO? Any number of hopefuls offer their services to the EPO but very few indeed have what it takes to be a half decent Examiner. | Feb 03 19:46 |
| schestowitz | But what does the EPO President know of this? His experience is all at the Patent Office of France, which doesn't do any examination of patentability whatsoever. Instead it grants you a patent as soon as you pay him his fees. | Feb 03 19:46 |

| schestowitz | On the great scale of things, the amount of holidays issue was not a major detail (except to those of us with a degree in pedantry...). Anyway, a fine summary by Mr Moody and perhaps a doffing of the hat for a clear report. A few things slipped by but that maybe would just add to the cloud which tends to hang around long running disputes. Such as... the Administrative Council rejected Battistelli's proposals on a number of issues at their | Feb 03 19:47 |
| schestowitz | meeting in December - a bit of a rebuke? He then did sack two staff representatives but in both cases he took the advice of the disciplinary committees and amplified them - as he is entitled to do under his rules. Thus sacking became sacking plus 20% pension reduction. Demotion became sacking. Delay of possible promotion in a third case became significant demotion. | Feb 03 19:47 |
| schestowitz | But of course, as you are aware, we aren't allowed to talk about that - all confidential. And even after being sacked they aren't allowed to discuss it. Nice. | Feb 03 19:47 |

| schestowitz | His experience is all at the Patent Office of France, which doesn't do any examination of patentability whatsoever. Instead it grants you a patent as soon as you pay him his fees. | Feb 04 20:43 |
| schestowitz | @maxdrei, you are actually rather wrong: the French Patent Office does conduct examination of patentability. | Feb 04 20:43 |
| schestowitz | In the French system, after filing, there is a preliminary search report. This is subcontracted to the EPO for first filings, but carried out by the FPO itself for filings claiming a foreign priority. Either way, this preliminary search report is published with the application, and a written opinion on patentability is also drafted, to which the applicant must respond if relevant documents are cited in the search report. | Feb 04 20:43 |
| schestowitz | What is specific to the French patent system is that the FPO can only reject the application for clear lack of novelty, and not for lack of inventive step. Therefore, in most cases, the reply and eventual amendments may be rather perfunctory. | Feb 04 20:43 |
| schestowitz | Other European national patent offices do altogether dispense with examination: for instance, in the Belgian national procedure, no reply whatsoever is required to even the most negative search report. And in Spain, the applicant may choose, after the search report, between an examination procedure and grant without examination (although this is just about to change, making examination compulsory). | Feb 04 20:43 |
| schestowitz | However, in all those countries going to court on the basis of a patent that received a negative search report is generally considered to be rather suicidal. | Feb 04 20:43 |
| schestowitz | There is however also the issue of the utility models granted in many European countries without any search or examination whatsoever. The case of Germany, where unwritten foreign disclosures cannot be considered as prior art for invalidating a utility model, is probably the most egregious... | Feb 04 20:43 |

| r_schestowitz | it changed the privilege system and there's no root | Feb 05 21:53 |
| xcitic | hmm. i've been using mint mostly | Feb 05 21:53 |
| xcitic | so how do I install things through dpkg -i | Feb 05 21:54 |
| xcitic | ? | Feb 05 21:54 |
| xcitic | is there a similar command to sudo apt-get update / install for ubuntu? | Feb 05 21:55 |
| xcitic | it keeps saying that i'm not root if I don't add sudo, so I assumed there must be a root user | Feb 05 21:55 |
| xcitic | and sudo just fuckes the whole thing up | Feb 05 21:56 |
| r_schestowitz | use sudo | Feb 05 22:04 |
| r_schestowitz | standard ubuntu user, if given su rights, will then get all the privileges of root | Feb 05 22:04 |
| r_schestowitz | no need for sudo su - or whatever | Feb 05 22:04 |

| schestowitz | Don't be too pessimistic. Remember that patents are a type of tax. The member states ceded this sovereign tax-raising power to the EPO on condition that the EPO render a share of the tax revenue back to them. The fact that the EPO is the first supranational tax-raising organ in Europe has largely escaped public attention so far. However, if the current bunch of misfits continues to drive the EPO into ignominy, it will only be a matter of time | Jan 31 10:53 |
| schestowitz | before the media (not least in the UK) wakes up to the fact that part of our sovereign authority is now under the control of an expensive, self-interested organisation managed by a nepotistic cabal under a despotic Enarque. The political fallout from such public scrutiny could be significant. And if it does come to this, then the Administrative Council will disown Battistelli and his cronies pretty smartly. | Jan 31 10:53 |

| schestowitz | In order to close The Hague "faster than you can count to three", wouldn't that require a diplomatic conference? Isn't that the same diplomatic conference that is required at least every five years according to article 4a EPC, is already years past due, and which the EPO management seems to want to avoid entirely, despite art. 4a? | Jan 31 10:54 |

| schestowitz | me: Details about what's being backed up can be found in /etc/rsnapshot.main.conf on the xxxx. The files are being pulled by the backup server rather than pushed onto it from each individual machine, so these settings are centralised. | Feb 01 20:26 |
| schestowitz | working on a backup solution at the moment... | Feb 01 20:26 |
| schestowitz | Details about the utility at the core of it all can be found at http://rsnapshot.org/ | Feb 01 20:27 |
| -TechBytesBot/#techbytes-rsnapshot.org | rsnapshot | rsnapshot | Feb 01 20:27 | |
| schestowitz | he backup drive is always mounted under /srv/backups | Feb 01 20:31 |
| schestowitz | /srv/backups/main/ is where the backups du jour will go. | Feb 01 20:31 |
| schestowitz | Retention will be: one for 12 month, 4 for a month (i.e. about weekly), and daily for the past week (i.e. 7 days) | Feb 01 20:33 |
| schestowitz | Additional configuration parameter can be found in /etc/rsnapshot.common.conf | Feb 01 20:35 |
| schestowitz | The goal is to accumulate periodic backups, stacked up at different periods of time (further apart for older backups), in order to facilitate D-R or address other issues, such as accidentally deleted files. | Feb 01 20:36 |
| schestowitz | Files of interest are configuration files, programs, and users' files in the home directory, thus we have: | Feb 01 20:38 |
| schestowitz | backup /home/ localhost/ | Feb 01 20:38 |
| schestowitz | backup /etc/ localhost/ | Feb 01 20:38 |
| schestowitz | backup /usr/local/ localhost/ | Feb 01 20:39 |
| schestowitz | There are files that are not so setup-specific and can be retrieved at installation time, hence they're not so essential to back up. | Feb 01 20:42 |
| schestowitz | The order of file creation depends on the backup sequence, but a look at one nightly backup reveals that backups start at around 4 and finish at around 8: | Feb 01 20:50 |
| schestowitz | At the time of writing about 1.7TB is used and 1.7TB (51%) is available out of 3.6TB in the drive inserted and mounted on /srv/backups | Feb 01 20:53 |

| schestowitz | No Taxation without, | Feb 01 22:26 |
| schestowitz | Sorry, but he tax meme still fails. | Feb 01 22:26 |
| schestowitz | One can fully and freely innovate without partaking in the choice of engaging the patent system. | Feb 01 22:26 |
| schestowitz | Further, any monies spent IN the patent system are monies for a service. | Feb 01 22:26 |
| schestowitz | You confuse the "pay to whom" as necessarily meaning that such is a tax. | Feb 01 22:26 |
| schestowitz | It is not. | Feb 01 22:26 |
| schestowitz | That meme needs to be put to rest. | Feb 01 22:26 |
| schestowitz | " | Feb 01 22:26 |
| schestowitz | " | Feb 01 22:26 |
| schestowitz | Sorry, but does that mean VAT isn't a tax because I don't have to buy the goods? Or that stamp duty paid as a percentage of a property isn't a tax because I don't have to buy the property? The fact that I have an option to do something or not doesn't make the amount charged not a tax. With regard to patents, participation in the system requires certain payments. Choosing not to enter the system is hardly the same as entering it in terms of | Feb 01 22:26 |
| schestowitz | effect. Unless that means the system has no benefit to entrants. But you will not be freely innovating if you have no protection, unless having no patent equals having a patent. | Feb 01 22:26 |
| schestowitz | As for the fees being passed on when you get a monopoly, that doesn't make it less of a cost. Indeed it serves to make demand lower assuming price/demand relationships. And those who do not acquire exclusion rights or are unable to sell their product? | Feb 01 22:26 |

| schestowitz | Excellent article on the ludicrous internal governance of the EPO. Patent attorneys have been seeing this information coming out as rumours, informally from examiners and from blogs like IPKat, but it's damning to see it all in one place. | Feb 02 20:40 |
| schestowitz | The last part goes astray though. The main obstacle to patent trolls is not the absence of an EU-wide patent, but that the EPO does not grant business method patents, at all. There's almost nothing like the class of business-method-but-on-the-internet patents which the USPTO gaily issued and provided such happy employment for the Eastern District of Texas. The ambiguity in language in the 'computer programs as such' exclusion doesn't apply to | Feb 02 20:40 |
| schestowitz | business method patent applications, which are regarded as not technical, whatever 'technical' means, and are generally kicked out first chance the examiner gets. Even when the Unitary Patent system actually goes live, this won't change. In any case, if a troll does get a granted patent, the patent need only be knocked out in one jurisdiction to revoke it for the whole of the EU, something which isn't true now. | Feb 02 20:40 |
| schestowitz | " | Feb 02 20:40 |
| schestowitz | " | Feb 02 20:40 |
| schestowitz | Even if only half of the article is correct, the countries which created the EPO have to close down the management and start again. This is so far beyond what is acceptable in any part of the EU. | Feb 02 20:40 |
| schestowitz | At the very least the EPO must be made subject to normal employment laws, there has to be checks and balances and all allegations against the boss must be subject to independent investigation | Feb 02 20:40 |
| schestowitz | " | Feb 02 20:40 |
| schestowitz | "In Denmark we even had that monstrosity up for election since the unitary patent was a secession of power, and it got approved by some 80%+ despite all expects warning everybody this place was shit and joining it was a trap. " | Feb 02 20:41 |
| schestowitz | " | Feb 02 20:41 |
| schestowitz | This should all be an academic discussion for the UK as we'll probably bail out of the EU sooner or later... " | Feb 02 20:41 |
| schestowitz | " | Feb 02 20:41 |
| schestowitz | Well, the EPO's "refreshingly unconventional" approach to employee rights certainly does sound very much like the wet dream of exactly the kind of UK based people who want to leave the EU. | Feb 02 20:41 |
| schestowitz | If you would have bothered to read the article, you would've noticed that most of the problems addressed are down to the EU not having any sort of meaningful power over an organisation that clearly sees itself above EU laws and is single-mindedly hell-bent on churning out as much patents as possible. | Feb 02 20:41 |

| schestowitz | Think you guys lose perspective. What about an study on judges? | Feb 02 20:55 |
| schestowitz | I believe that you will find that courts have an invalidity rate which is proportional to the number of case they handle. | Feb 02 20:55 |
| schestowitz | Courts with very few cases (i.e. courts not specialised in patents) tend to have very low invalidity rates. | Feb 02 20:55 |
| schestowitz | The reason? Well, a (board of) judges may develop an own criterion only by seeing a number cases. | Feb 02 20:55 |
| schestowitz | Problem in Europe? Well, the EPO does not take into account national criteria on invalidity. | Feb 02 20:55 |
| schestowitz | In any case, MaxDrei has a point. No alleged infringer enters the court room unless it has no other option available, while the opposite is not always true (the patent passed an exam indeed and nobody cares about infringement which are not damaging the commercial results of the company, while dubious cases are usually given a try), so invalidity rates between 50% and 33% are not to be frowned upon "as such". | Feb 02 20:55 |
| schestowitz | What is more worrying is that the invalidity rate of software patents is much higher. There is something wrong with them (Lack of prior art, big companies influencing the examination process???) | Feb 02 20:55 |
| schestowitz | " | Feb 02 20:55 |
| schestowitz | " | Feb 02 20:55 |
| schestowitz | Before anyone starts using this as a stick with which to beat patents in general, or the quality of drafting, or the quality of examination, it should be noted that patents which are the subject of nullity proceedings are *not* necessarily a representative sample of patents overall. Patents which are the subject of litigation are necessarily a biased sample. | Feb 02 20:55 |
| schestowitz | If you will permit a generalisation, is not one possible explanation that an invalidity challenge will normally only be issued when there is a reasonably strong case for invalidation and/or sufficient economic/strategic advantage to make it worth the gamble (e.g. as a counterclaim in an infringement suit)? Thus, weak patents are overrepresented, and strong patents underrepresented, in litigation compared to their relative proportions among | Feb 02 20:55 |
| schestowitz | granted patents as a whole. | Feb 02 20:55 |

| schestowitz | Anonymous@15:14 : What "national criteria on invalidity" is the EPO supposed to be disregarding? According to Art. 138 of the European Patent Convention, a European patent "may be revoked with effect for a Contracting State only on the grounds that: | Feb 03 12:54 |
| schestowitz | (a)the subject-matter of the European patent is not patentable under Articles 52 to 57; | Feb 03 12:54 |
| schestowitz | (b)the European patent does not disclose the invention in a manner sufficiently clear and complete for it to be carried out by a person skilled in the art; | Feb 03 12:54 |
| schestowitz | (c)the subject-matter of the European patent extends beyond the content of the application as filed or, if the patent was granted on a divisional application or on a new application filed under Article 61, beyond the content of the earlier application as filed; | Feb 03 12:54 |
| schestowitz | (d)the protection conferred by the European patent has been extended; or | Feb 03 12:54 |
| schestowitz | (e)the proprietor of the European patent is not entitled under Article 60, paragraph 1." | Feb 03 12:54 |
| schestowitz | These are the same criteria that the EPO is supposed to apply. If some national courts are applying their own criteria, they are quite simply in breach of law. | Feb 03 12:54 |
| schestowitz | As for the invalidity rates in certain fields, the question to be raised is also whether the technically aware examiners were wrong in granting them, or the not-always-technically-literate judges wrong in revoking them.

| schestowitz | I add my compliments to Mr Moody for doing a fine job. It might have been a tad more useful to the public to have pointed out to the public just how demanding is the job at the EPO. Too lenient on Patentability and you give applicants 20 years of exclusive rights on something that isn't an invention at all. Too strict though and deserving inventors get done out of their just reward. How many would be EPO examiners can assess what is obvious | Feb 03 19:46 |
| schestowitz | in some esoteric field of technology, in any of the three official languages of the EPO? Any number of hopefuls offer their services to the EPO but very few indeed have what it takes to be a half decent Examiner. | Feb 03 19:46 |
| schestowitz | But what does the EPO President know of this? His experience is all at the Patent Office of France, which doesn't do any examination of patentability whatsoever. Instead it grants you a patent as soon as you pay him his fees. | Feb 03 19:46 |

| schestowitz | On the great scale of things, the amount of holidays issue was not a major detail (except to those of us with a degree in pedantry...). Anyway, a fine summary by Mr Moody and perhaps a doffing of the hat for a clear report. A few things slipped by but that maybe would just add to the cloud which tends to hang around long running disputes. Such as... the Administrative Council rejected Battistelli's proposals on a number of issues at their | Feb 03 19:47 |
| schestowitz | meeting in December - a bit of a rebuke? He then did sack two staff representatives but in both cases he took the advice of the disciplinary committees and amplified them - as he is entitled to do under his rules. Thus sacking became sacking plus 20% pension reduction. Demotion became sacking. Delay of possible promotion in a third case became significant demotion. | Feb 03 19:47 |
| schestowitz | But of course, as you are aware, we aren't allowed to talk about that - all confidential. And even after being sacked they aren't allowed to discuss it. Nice. | Feb 03 19:47 |

| schestowitz | @maxdrei, you are actually rather wrong: the French Patent Office does conduct examination of patentability. | Feb 04 20:43 |
| schestowitz | In the French system, after filing, there is a preliminary search report. This is subcontracted to the EPO for first filings, but carried out by the FPO itself for filings claiming a foreign priority. Either way, this preliminary search report is published with the application, and a written opinion on patentability is also drafted, to which the applicant must respond if relevant documents are cited in the search report. | Feb 04 20:43 |
| schestowitz | What is specific to the French patent system is that the FPO can only reject the application for clear lack of novelty, and not for lack of inventive step. Therefore, in most cases, the reply and eventual amendments may be rather perfunctory. | Feb 04 20:43 |
| schestowitz | Other European national patent offices do altogether dispense with examination: for instance, in the Belgian national procedure, no reply whatsoever is required to even the most negative search report. And in Spain, the applicant may choose, after the search report, between an examination procedure and grant without examination (although this is just about to change, making examination compulsory). | Feb 04 20:43 |
| schestowitz | However, in all those countries going to court on the basis of a patent that received a negative search report is generally considered to be rather suicidal. | Feb 04 20:43 |
| schestowitz | There is however also the issue of the utility models granted in many European countries without any search or examination whatsoever. The case of Germany, where unwritten foreign disclosures cannot be considered as prior art for invalidating a utility model, is probably the most egregious... | Feb 04 20:43 |
