schestowitzAnother often implied restriction of groups such as the FSF is the restriction of freedom to, for example, spy on people.Mar 05 07:55
schestowitzI don’t understand this. There is nothing on the GPL that prevents me from making an Android app which sends the user’s photos to me. The FSF advocates free software as a way of fighting surveillance (since you can just remove the code that spies on you), but the license does not prevent it.Mar 05 07:55

-TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-ipkitten.blogspot.com | The IPKat: GuestPost: Is there really a problem with NPE litigation in Europe?Mar 05 17:55
schestowitz"Mar 05 17:55
schestowitz    Having quite some experience with patent litigation in the US and Europe working in-house for several large multinationals, I do not see any alarming rise in NPE litigation in Europe. Even if the numbers were correct, a 19% percent rise can just be statistical blip, especially given the low absolute number of cases.Mar 05 17:55
schestowitz    In general, filing a patent lawsuit in Europe is not abusive, and is essentially curbed by unfair competition laws. All jurisdictions also have ways to deal with vexatious lawsuits.Mar 05 17:55
schestowitz    In the US, there have been waves of abusive patent law suits filed (but in my perception currently being less than before), where the only goal is to obtain a nuisance settlement payment. For a larger entity, settling early for a small (let`s say low 5 figures dollar) amount is realistically better than going through all the motions (costs in the low-ish million figure). These cases are facilitated by forum choice (now changing), ease Mar 05 17:55
schestowitzof filing (no substantive case has to be filed ab initio), very high litigation costs (like extensive discovery and experts) with no loser pays rules (although “exceptional case” rulings are increasing), and the unpredictable nature of first instance jury trials.Mar 05 17:55
schestowitz    These kind of cases are very rare in Europe, as a fully supported case has to be filed, the cost of litigation is much lower than in the US (first instance proceedings below 6 figures in euros), mostly loser pays rules, and more predictable first instance rulings.Mar 05 17:55
schestowitz    I wonder whether any realistic legislation could be drafted to curb any perceived abuse.Mar 05 17:55

schestowitzTwo thoughts, Thorsten:Mar 06 20:35
schestowitz1. Your reasonable “credit where credit’s due” tone only serves to pack more punch where you do pinpoint poor “Quality”. Read it please, AC members, and take it to heart.Mar 06 20:35
schestowitz2. I am reminded by the first comment (above) of that legendary announcement by the apochryphal top manager: “Hear this, employees, the beatings are going to continue, OK, for as long as it takes, until morale shows some improvement. Got that?” You know, readers, the higher the quality of staff, the more motivated they are, the more duty-bound they are, less likely they are to continue to put up with such shabby and disrespectful Mar 06 20:35
schestowitztreatment. The managers at the EPO might not care about that. But the AC should.Mar 06 20:35
schestowitz'Mar 06 20:35
schestowitz"Mar 06 20:35
schestowitzOnce again congratulations for a long and balanced paper.Mar 06 20:35
schestowitzAt the moment, there are, not yet, hard facts showing a decrease in quality. It is more a perception than something tangible, but it is not possible to deny that the direction taken is very clear, the quality goes down. It is too easy, as Mr Ernst does, to say that problematic cases are more incidental than systematic, so there is no reason to worry.Mar 06 20:35
schestowitzLowering quality can be defined more over a cluster of consistent clues than tangible figures.Mar 06 20:35
schestowitzFor the present management of the Office, the only aspect of quality is timeliness, as this can show up immediately. But if timeliness is a key aspect, why then the felt necessity by the same management of introducing deferred examination? i do not qualify such a behaviour as a management with quality.Mar 06 20:35
schestowitzThe quality problem is difficult to trace without any external action endangering the validity of the patent eventually granted.Mar 06 20:35
schestowitzIt should never be forgotten that hundreds of patents never come into action, as the technology becomes obsolete or new ideas renders them obsolete. A guess is that what is patented and comes on the market is not even the top of the iceberg representing all patents granted and for which annual fees are paid. So one could think why bother with quality?Mar 06 20:35
schestowitzA patent is however an insurance in case of success as has been stated by a former president of the EPO. But if the patent is shoddy, what good is it? So a view from outside, i.e. away from the granting process is always to be valued more, even if the figure looks comparatively low.Mar 06 20:35
schestowitzAs such, opposition has never been a measure of quality, as their number has barely varied over the years, and are only envisaged if there economic assets at stake. Nevertheless, when a patent is opposed, it is only one third of the patents which come out without damages. It would therefore be interesting if the reasons for which the patent was revoked or only maintained in amended form where available at the grant stage. The EPO cannot Mar 06 20:35
schestowitzbe blamed for not having known a public prior use, but well if the prior art was part of the search files of the EPO and was overlooked, or if it has left added subject-matter slip through, or granted patents which are totally unclear.Mar 06 20:35
schestowitzThis is the type of data which could also be interesting and such data analysis should be done regularly and not once in a blue moon.Mar 06 20:35
schestowitzAnother way to look at the quality is to look how many applications have actually been refused, and the refusal confirmed by the Boards. The vast majority of examiners have rarely written a refusal decision. How can this be? Do not tell me that the quality of the applications as filed is such that no further prior art exists, or there is nothing to query in substance. When looking at case law, there are quite a few cases in which a Board Mar 06 20:35
schestowitzbrings in new prior art, when it has received a case which was refused. One can discuss whether the Boards are there to find new prior art, but this happens.Mar 06 20:35
schestowitzIt is also interesting to see the number of decisions which are remitted to the first instance due tare due to bad training, in that the procedure in the Guidelines are not followed, simply to get read of the case.Mar 06 20:36
schestowitzAll those points taken in isolation might not be significant as such, but contribute to the cluster of consistent clues mentioned above.Mar 06 20:36
schestowitzThat examiners make substantial amendments before sending out the communication under R 71(3) is nothing new. It is another form of arm twisting for the applicant, but if he agrees, the case is over and done with.Mar 06 20:36
schestowitzAmendments before issuance of the R 71(3) communication should be limited to clerical amendments, and in any case not comprise amendments which do affect the scope of the claims or they interpretation, see C-V, 1.1. Judging from Thorsten colleagues experience this is a problematic area, in which the quality is sub-optimal.Mar 06 20:36
schestowitzThe rapid increase in productivity and production is not auguring well for the future.Mar 06 20:36
schestowitzAnother aspect to be considered is that the training has been reduced and is not any longer of the responsibility of DG1, but is part of HR. Everybody can guess what it means.Mar 06 20:36
schestowitzIn their vast majority examiners behave very professionally, but even though, the requirements in production and productivity are such, that they are forced to cut corners. As the training is now suboptimal, they might cut the wrong corners. This is the more so, since an ever increasing number of experienced examiners are leaving the office when they have reached the age for having a pension, if not before.Mar 06 20:36
schestowitzThe atmosphere is such that they do not want to stay any longer than necessity. In the absence of those experienced examiners, the younger ones loose the possibility to refer to them in case of problems and difficulties. Another piece to the cluster of consistent clues towards a lower quality.Mar 06 20:36
schestowitzIn the past it was forbidden to either make a telephonic discussion or to summon to oral proceedings as first action for the examiner in charge. Now they are encouraged to do so. Summoning to Oral Proceedings is another form of twisting the arm of the applicant or the representative. Examiners are aware of the costs incurred by the applicant and its representative, so the applicant might be more inclined to give in rather than to have to Mar 06 20:36
schestowitzfork out the corresponding costs. And for them, if the Oral Proceedings does not take place, the case is dealt with very quickly.Mar 06 20:36
schestowitzTalking about directors and team leaders. Team leaders are in a difficult position, and beside the fact they still have to carry out 80% of the target of an experienced examiner, they now very well that their position is only temporary. Why should I get into discussions if later in time I will be returning to the corps of examiners? Should I put myself at odds with my colleagues?Mar 06 20:36
schestowitzIt is also clear that some team leaders have reached this position, not because of the fact they have a well-accepted status amongst their colleagues, but simply because no other examiner wanted to become team leader. This is also not a guarantee of quality.Mar 06 20:36
schestowitzOn top of this it takes away any career perspective for becoming director. I would like to remind that the Interim Committee had fixed at 12 the number of examiners in a directorate. That this figure is too low, is clear, but any director having more than 30-35 examiners cannot play the role of being counsellor and arbitrator which should be his. One really wonders what directors with 150 examiners actually do. Ok, they “manage”. But Mar 06 20:36
schestowitzwhy remove a good career perspective when the EPO is making over 2,2 Millions € of surplus?Mar 06 20:36
schestowitzI do not want to become too long, so that I will now comment on Communiqué 3/18.Mar 06 20:36
schestowitzCommuniqué 3/18 from the tenant of the 10th floor is a desperate attempt to transform a clear defeat into a victory and to show an apparent, not to say pseudo, care towards the staff. It is hypocrisy at its best.Mar 06 20:36
schestowitzThe proposal came from his beloved resource manager (she does not deserve the title of human resource manager) EB which seems to be on a trail of destruction.Mar 06 20:36
schestowitzWhether her boss inspired her and she only did execute his wishes, or if her mind conceived it, is beside the point, it shows such a disdain for people that it is barely believable, especially toward expatriated staff. It is amazing that he has the nerve to claim he has contributed to the document being amended. The contrary is true.Mar 06 20:36
schestowitzWhat the butcher of the 10th floor does not say in his Communiqué is that the article of the Staff regulations relating to laying off in case of lower activity of the EPO will disappear. This article provided for a severance payment proportionate to the length of service, and the possibility for people laid off, to be reinstated once EPO’s activity increases again. But I take care of staff! Look how good I am. Just remove the worse, so Mar 06 20:36
schestowitzthat other things can be hidden in the wake of this apparent grandeur d’âme. It is awful that such hypocrites are in charge of staff. It makes me want to puke.Mar 06 20:36
schestowitzA potential application was foreseeable in the immediate future.Mar 06 20:36
schestowitzIf one knows that the number of directors has been more or less halved and some have been affected to tasks which are not of director level, or even have no tasks at all, one can imagine that such a ruling could be easily applied to the directors having become idle. Go home, we have no job.Mar 06 20:36
schestowitzAll this makes one sad, very sad. I have been long, may be too long, but there is such a lot to say.Mar 06 20:36
schestowitz"Mar 06 20:36
schestowitz"As an (EP and DE qualified) inhouse attorney I work a lot with different PTOs and I am of the opinion that the EPO works very well compared with other PTOs. Further, that grant rates get higher and higher may also be the result of more and more excellent scientists and engineers joining the ranks of patent attorneys (due to medicore job and income perspectives in R&D and industry). My thesis is that the EPO quality remains substantially Mar 06 20:36
schestowitzsimilar while the applicants and attorneys invest more and more resources in prosecutuin. If you look at the letter head of a random IP law firm, you might find that 90% of the staff have a PhD. 15 years ago, this was different.'Mar 06 20:36
schestowitz"Well, I guess it depends a lot on your field of activity. In my experience, the USPTO is much better than its reputation in quite a few fields of mechanics. As far as I am concerned, I receive the most thorough office actions from the Chinese patent office. The EPO grants everything I send them, so it is difficult to say whether they do a good job or not, but I have my doubts. The times when you could rely on the search report from the Mar 06 20:36
schestowitzEPO are long gone."Mar 06 20:36
schestowitz"Mar 06 20:36
schestowitzThorsten, you mention the “difference between a car manufacturer and a Patent Office” and the difficulty that the incoming Chair of the EPO’s Governing Body has, to recognise this.Mar 06 20:36
schestowitzTry this on him.Mar 06 20:36
schestowitzFor a car manufactureer, the highest levels of “Quality” are achieved when every single item coming off the end of the line is identical.Mar 06 20:36
schestowitzFor a Patent Office, it is the exact opposite. If any two items coming off the line are even roughly the same, the Patent Office has failed to deliver “Quality” . Every item coming off the line is a licence to enjoin competitors, a right to assert 20 years of exclusivity. Every patent is (or should be) a single, unique, different, genuinely new, inventive and enabled contribution to the art.Mar 06 20:36

schestowitzIn my daily practice, I can only confirm the views of this blog post. For me it appears that timeliness has become the only quality measure at the EPO. And the EPO is becoming really good in providing timely examination reports. It also becomes increasingly “good” in issuing premature summons to attend O.P.. In my day-to-day work I also experience that the quality, in terms of “how accurate is the analysis and how well founded are Mar 06 20:36
schestowitzthe objections” is declining (sometimes to a ridiculous extent). I do not dare speaking of 71(3) problems and IMHO this is a minor issue (it “only” requires more caution on the attorney’s end and much of the problems really seem to have a rather technical background, which I believe can be solved).Mar 06 20:36
schestowitzThe loss in quality occurs on a deeper level and is much more detrimental.Mar 06 20:36
schestowitzI can assure that this is no fuzzy belly feeling of mine, because I have observed that the same Examiners that used to provide me with a sound analysis and reasonable objections more and more tend to raise superficial objections, or object to claim sets as a whole where they previously assessed claims in groups or individually. I see more faulty objections, more alleged clarity problems, no willingness to apply a problem-and-solution Mar 06 20:36
schestowitzapproach, more ex post facto argumentation and more clearly premature invitations to O.P. that put pressure on the applicant before a reasonable exchange of arguments has been finished. My own metrics is the length of the reporting letters that I have to write to the applicants and the number of times that I am forced to complement for an insufficient analysis to provide a proper advice to the applicant. It is, to me, very apparent that Mar 06 20:37
schestowitzExaminers do no longer get the time needed to judge each case on its true merits.Mar 06 20:37
schestowitzAs regards the term “production” as used and implemented in the EPO’s metrics, I feel that this term is entirely unsuitable in the context of patent applications. Some applications are complex, some are not, some yield many prior art hits, some may not, but all these different applications have the product count of one (1). And the time scale to handle all these different products is all the same at the EPO.Mar 06 20:37
schestowitzImposing ever increasing production targets on the Examiners will only further erode the quality of examination, will result in patents that are either unjustifiably broad or unjustifiably narrow and in the end represents a disservice for the public and applicants alike. We will experience the degradation of “deep quality” in a couple of years from now.Mar 06 20:37

schestowitzDear Herr Bausch,Mar 06 20:38
schestowitzMy thank yous too for your balanced, but more importantly, accurate analysis.Mar 06 20:38
schestowitzIf I may add one example. The EPO has sought to add quality to the granting process by giving easier and better access to the procedures before other granting bodies so that the divisions can find prior art which has been introduced by other offices’ examiners. This means that work is at least extended while documents and communications are perused and studied. If relevant, the EPO proceedings may even take a new turn – a Mar 06 20:38
schestowitzcommunication in place of a grant etc. While this gives improved quality, it also requires more time. As you said, it is hard to equate greater quality with less time being spent. The time gain must come form somewhere else and you are right that this inevitably leads to cutting corners.Mar 06 20:38
schestowitzAnother aspect is the inevitable ISO effect – quality is defined by what can be measured (easily). Metrics are formulated as synonyms for quality so that if an examiner does not add “The preamble of claim 1 is known from D1” or the like, then the examination has obviously not been performed correctly. Of course this generates the inverse conclusion that the presence of the text means high quality.Mar 06 20:38
schestowitzAs you identified, independent quality assessment is necessary and no system which is under this or any president is independent. I wish the new President well and hope for inspiration. Or at least an interest in substantive rather than purely timeliness quality.Mar 06 20:38

schestowitz The economics of patents and the direct effect on the manufacturers are frequently measured in court cases with reimbursement to one side or the other commonplace. The direct effect on the NHS is also clear, although difficult to measure (in principle irrelevant, but the cost to Pfizer and the generics on losing has also been difficult to quantify).Mar 07 18:00
schestowitzThe question I have is whether there is any basis for a claim from the NHS? I know they acted in some ways on instructions / recommendations from the courts, but where they a part to the proceedings that suffered damage?

schestowitz" It is the EPO case law which dominates in respect of selections and which would be followed by the UK courts. The founding cases are, as you know, all listed in the EPO Case Law book, one of which is that Pfizer again. My favourite selection cases from the courts are the olanzapine decisions (US, UK, DE).

schestowitzIf you are not going to give squad players a run out in a game like this, then we may as well get rid of the majority of the squad and just keep our regular starting 11 and 6 others so the can sit on the bench. Ridiculous comment""Mar 08 03:07

-TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-ipkitten.blogspot.com | The IPKat: Monday MiscellanyMar 08 04:09
schestowitz To the Anon above who asks the basis for a claim from the NHS - that is a very good point. The decision granting the order to issue the prescribing guidelines (handily reported on IPKat http://ipkitten.blogspot.co.uk/2015/03/warner-lambert-v-actavis-mark-4-harmony.html and the judgment is on BAILII http://www.bailii.org/ew/cases/EWHC/Patents/2015/485.html) has this at para [24]:Mar 08 04:09
schestowitzAs mentioned above, there was one issue between the parties, which concerned the ambit of the cross-undertaking in damages to be given by Warner-Lambert contained in Schedule 3 to the order. Warner-Lambert was content to give a cross-undertaking in favour of NHS England and the Department of Health. Actavis, Teva and Dr Reddy's requested that the benefit of the cross-undertaking should be extended to (i) the Actavis group of companies, (Mar 08 04:09
-TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-ipkitten.blogspot.co.uk | The IPKat: Warner-Lambert v Actavis Mark 4: harmony between parties in ‘lyrical’ patent disputeMar 08 04:09
schestowitzii) the Teva group of companies and (iii) Dr Reddy's respectively. Warner-Lambert resisted this. Neither Mylan nor Sandoz nor Consilient requested that the benefit of the cross-undertaking be extended to them, but Mylan reserved the right to apply for this in the future.Mar 08 04:09
-TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-www.bailii.org | Warner-Lambert Company, LLC v Actavis Group PTC EHF & Ors [2015] EWHC 485 (Pat) (02 March 2015)Mar 08 04:09
schestowitzSo it is this cross-undertaking that would serve as a basis for any claim.Mar 08 04:09

If using e2fsprogs 1.43 or newer, the options “-O 64bit,metadata_csum” must be used with ext4 for proper compatibility.

schestowitz#gnu #linux does not typically require reboots after updates to the system, even the kernel.Mar 09 18:57
schestowitzAre you sure that this is a typical setup? Most distros don’t have that by default AFAIK and kernel switches on the fly are only ever interesting for systems that need to run constantly (servers…). There’s really no need to do that on a desktop, especially since we’ve only had that functionality for a few years and also due to even the slowest system taking maybe a minute to reboot.Mar 09 18:57
schestowitzOn most of my machines, I fail to see the benefit of a long uptime.Mar 09 18:57
schestowitz"Mar 09 18:57
schestowitzThat depends on desperately you need the kernel itself patched entirely and whether it's an upgradeMar 09 18:58

-TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-@schestowitz@joindiaspora.com: Bribing #linux is not easy because many developers exist and no single company owns it or can be taken over. LF was created to help manage or pool the bribes, such that companies can buy "stakes" and control/influence over itMar 09 19:18
schestowitz"How do they distribute the monies? Payment for “work rendered”?"Mar 09 19:18
schestowitz"Mar 09 19:19
schestowitzTom, yeah, probably. Donors will pay bounties to have something fixed sooner and thereby steer development. But a lot of kernel and distro devs are on the payroll of big companies that rely on Linux, so a person will for example work for Red Hat and they probably got the job because they were developing a piece of software that Red Hat was interested in initially in the first place. But then again, there probably also are normal employees Mar 09 19:19
schestowitzthat got there because they just applied for a job.Mar 09 19:19
schestowitzIn all software in the GNU/Linux and corporate open source Linux ecosystems, I think it’s a very much mixed system of paid jobs, paid bounties for a specific feature, crowdfunding and foundations/donations.Mar 09 19:19

schestowitz"As Ubuntu is gaining momentum, that might just be a move from Windows to keep its users while giving them the opportunity to venture on Linux. Looking at the bright side of things it may make it possible for w10 users to give it a try before shifting to Linux and leaving w10. However I’m not sure a massive amount of w10 users will be willing to make that move as Windows communication about Linux has been so agressive and derogative."Mar 09 19:25
