East Africa had the greatest concentration, but the practice was also seen from Bangladesh to the Philippines and Papua New Guinea. It was reported in both freshwater, as seen in Africa’s great lakes and in Nepal, and in the sea, in west Africa.  </p>Feb 18 08:25

schestowitz<blockquote>Feb 18 10:06
schestowitz <p>   Turkey used to be called Anatolia or Asia Minor and was a Christian civilization. Today Turkey is over 95% Muslim. North Africa, Egypt, Iraq, Syria and Lebanon used to be Christian. Afghanistan was Buddhist; Pakistan and Malaysia used to be Hindu. Today they are more than 95% Muslim. Islam does not reach a balance point with the native civilization; it dominates and annihilates the indigenous culture over time.</p>Feb 18 10:06
schestowitz <p>   This process of total civilizational domination is the Law of Islamic Saturation. The doctrine calls for jihad to never cease until the native population submits to the Sharia. As time goes on, the Sharia brings about submission to Islam. The doctrine is totalitarian, so the result is totalitarian.</p>Feb 18 10:06
schestowitz <p>   Islam is the most successful totalitarian system in history. There are post-Communist societies and post-Nazi societies but, there are no post Islamic societies. </p>Feb 18 10:06

In such an era, if Alauddin appears less bigoted compared with the likes of Mahmud Ghazni, Mohammed Ghori and Aurangzeb, it is because the other rulers were an order of magnitude more brutal and fanatic than him. </p>Feb 18 10:06

schestowitzIt is of course possible that Boris Johnson will hesitate to ratify an agreement that includes the following Recital:Feb 22 06:17
schestowitz“RECALLING the obligations of the Contracting Member States under the Treaty on European Union (TEU) and the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU), including the obligation of sincere cooperation as set out in Article 4(3) TEU and the obligation to ensure through the Unified Patent Court the full application of, and respect for, Union law in their respective territories and the judicial protection of an individual’sFeb 22 06:17
schestowitzrights under that law”.Feb 22 06:17
schestowitzThere is also the matter of whether Boris will be happy to bring into effect a court that will have jurisdiction over disputes involving UK (patent and SPC) rights but that, under Article 20 UPCA, is obliged to “apply Union law in its entirety” and “respect its primacy”.Feb 22 06:17
schestowitzTo my knowledge, no one has yet demonstrated a plausible (and workable) way in which the UK can leave the single market, the customs union and the jurisdiction of the CJEU but yet: (1) agree to be bound by the CJEU’s rulings on patent and SPC matters; and (2) adopt, in a manner sufficiently binding to satisfy the CJEU, the numerous current (and potential future) EU laws that could have any bearing on cases before the UPC.Feb 22 06:17
schestowitzTherefore, before ratifying the UPCA, do you think that Boris is likely to want to satisfy himself that doing so will not give rise to obligations that are incompatible with the government’s current plans for Brexit?Feb 22 06:17

There are a lot of ifs, but barely a word about them in the long blog.Feb 22 06:17
schestowitzEven if “the vast majority of users throughout Europe want to see” continued participation of UK in the UPC, this hurdle is by no way taken. At the moment post- Brexit UK participation in the UPC is anything but certain.Feb 22 06:17
schestowitzIt seems clear that the UPC is not a court within the judiciary system of the EU member states. How a court, even residing in a member state of the UPC, but not in a member state of the EU will be allowed to bring prejudicial questions to the CJEU.Feb 22 06:17

schestowitz"    To be clear, the issue is NOT whether BoJo “has a mandate” to prevent ratification of the UPCA. Instead, it is that there could well be a (high) political price to pay for ratifying an Agreement that is incompatible with the government’s current line on Brexit… and the government may well not be prepared to pay that price, especially if the “hard-line Brexiteers” make it plain that they will not take the issue lying down."Feb 22 06:18

schestowitz"Feb 22 06:19
schestowitzYou may be right. But, then again, you may not.Feb 22 06:19
schestowitzThere is a big, practical difference between: (1) passing legislation that puts you in a position to ratify an international Agreement; and (2) actually ratifying that Agreement. This is because binding, legal effects only apply once the Agreement has been ratified. Just because step 1 has been completed without any political fall-out, it cannot be assumed that the hard-line Brexiteers will be completely sanguine about step 2. Of course, thisFeb 22 06:19
schestowitzassumes that nobody has misled the Brexiteers into believing that completing step 2 will not oblige the UK to keep following (in perpetuity) rules made in Brussels … which is something that Boris only yesterday stated would be “intolerable”.Feb 22 06:19
schestowitzIn this context, there may well be some significance to particular choice of words that the government has (repeatedly) used in connection with the UPCA. That wording is fully consistent with step 1. However, to my knowledge, at no point has the government used wording that represents an explicit indication (or promise) that they will follow through with step 2.Feb 22 06:19

schestowitz“This is because binding, legal effects only apply once the Agreement has been ratified”Feb 22 06:19
schestowitzNot quite true. Some sections of the UPCA will have legal effect when the the protocol on provisional application enters into force. See https://www.unified-patent-court.org/sites/default/files/Protocol_to_the_Agreement_on_Unified_Patent_Court_on_provisional_application.pdfFeb 22 06:19
schestowitzThe UK has already completed the required deposi for the Protocol https://www.unified-patent-court.org/news/update-provisional-application-phase and so if Germany kicks of the provisional application phase parts of the UPCA will take effect in the UK even if UK ratification of the UPCA itself has not happened yet. That provisional application would seem to necessarily include the appointment of UK national judges for the UK local division.Feb 22 06:19

-TechBytesBot/#techbytes-www.unified-patent-court.org | Update on Provisional Application Phase | UPCFeb 22 06:19
schestowitz"Feb 22 06:20
schestowitzThe issue is not if the Brexit hardliners have failed to make the UPC a big issue in the UK. The question is simply whether post Brexit UK can stay in the UPC, even ratification and entry into force is before the end of March 2019.Feb 22 06:20
schestowitzWhen will we obtain more convincing arguments on this? It is not by repeating like a Tibetan windmill that there are no problems, and if any, the Administrative committee of the UPC will make sure that they are overcome.Feb 22 06:20
schestowitzI expect a bit more serious arguments and not the drivel usually served.Feb 22 06:20
schestowitzIn any case as Concerned Observer has noticed there will be a political price to pay. Even the well-known Pascoe report insisted on this aspect. The UPC having not been subject to the Phase 1 Brexit negotiations, it will probably not be part of Phase 2. And then?Feb 22 06:20
schestowitzI am however inclined to think with Joff Wild, that UPC’s fate will be decided in Germany. I would however bring a nuance in it. UPC’s fate could also be decided by the CJEU once into force, and with the UK still in it.Feb 22 06:20

schestowitz"Feb 22 06:20
schestowitzThis discussion about the UK situation is of the utmost interest and many of the French concerned parties hope that a smart solution will be found to keep UK in the agreement even after Brexit. How this will be possible is of importance and should be cleared very quickly. This only could provide the users of the UPC with clarity and security that a jurisdiction should provide not only for a few months but over the time. As reported in thisFeb 22 06:20
schestowitzblog on January the 6th I understand that this is part of what IP organisations in the UK have requested their government.Feb 22 06:20
schestowitzAs far as France is concerned, I can confirm that the ratifications of UPCA and the two related protocols PPCA and PPI are completed.Feb 22 06:20
schestowitzThe French government is preparing some amendments to the French patent law. As it is well known, this French national law will apply after the entry in force of UPCA to French national patents and to opted-out European patents designating France. It will be clearer and more efficient to have very near rules applying to European patents whether they are opted out or not (some of these rules being applied by the French national courts and theFeb 22 06:21
schestowitzother by UPC). This is the main reason for these amendments to French law. Some other UCPA countries are taking the same steps.Feb 22 06:21
schestowitzIn France, an in force international agreement prevails to a French law so that these amendments to the French law have no direct link to the UPCA ratification process and its later application.Feb 22 06:21
schestowitzAs far as France is concerned, all of the required ratifications for the UPC implementation have already been taken.Feb 22 06:21

schestowitzGreat to hear. FR is ready, UK is ready and in DE apparently all poltical parties (including the opposition) support the UPC (I read the protocol of the Federal Assembly/Bundestag of the relevant session).

schestowitz Answers:Feb 23 18:53
schestowitz1. On plausibilty: This has not become a disease, but the usage of the word and the test has become appropriate on many occasions for good reasons. There must be some evidence, not necessarily data, that the invention will work. Pfizer admitted that armchair inventions are not appropriate, but sought to distinguish their case. I feel they failed on this. Although not having the written submission or the transcripts of the expert witnesses, itFeb 23 18:53
schestowitzappears that at the priority date, it was common knowledge that neuropathic pain consisted of two sub-types. The test data was deemed predictive of peripheral neuropathic pain and the court will uphold this finding (I speculate), contrary to Actavis' assertions, which amounted to pretty feeble arguments and an attempt to pull the wool over the Court's eyes. Actavis must have thought these inexperienced judges were there for the taking, but I'Feb 23 18:53
schestowitzve been very impressed with how quickly they've understood the issues, and I would hire Lord Sumption as representative anytime. IMHO.Feb 23 18:53
schestowitz2. Actavis argues the tests should be the same, but failed to share the case law from the EPO that said otherwise. A little remiss? Did Pfizer include it in their written submissions? I haven't yet watched the final day replies. The test should be the same, I think. At least I did when I saw the EPO decision. Actavis didn't convince me my first thought was correct. It seems reasonable, although there may well be cases where an inventor hasFeb 23 18:53
schestowitzhad an idea based on a prior disclosure, said idea being non-obvious without the benefit of hindsight, but once made known is clearly plausible based on the disclosure. My mind has changed, but not thanks to any argument from Pfizer. Again, something in their written submissions? IMHO.Feb 23 18:53

schestowitz    3.4.5. There may well be a case to allow amendment once a claim has been determined partly valid. I suspect this may be allowed. Whether there is basis for a valid, useful claim is another matter.Feb 23 18:53
schestowitz    6. Ain't gonna happen. Amendment is the way to go in this case.Feb 23 18:53
schestowitz    7. Also ain't gonna happen. Shouldn't be wasting company funds arguing for the court to rewrite a law written in a self-contained statute. Not least because one of the judges has made public his belief that there shouldn't be any judge-made law.Feb 23 18:53
schestowitz    8. No.Feb 23 18:53
schestowitz    9. The label is of course important. The listing of a patented indication by the manufacturer is an admission of guilt. Its absence, however, exonerates no-one.Feb 23 18:53

schestowitz    One other point on construction and claim scope: There was an argument along the line that, even if 'central neuropathic pain' utility was not plausible, the claim to neuropathic pain should stand as valid because it was sufficiently supported across its scope. The fact that the claim additionally covered some implausible embodiments should not invalidate the claim.Feb 23 18:54
schestowitz    I am in agreement with this point and it is a very important issue for the Supreme Court to address. It is standard practice supported by EPO and national case law to allow a scope of protection that is reasonable based on the disclosure. Such extrapolation is rarely supported directly by evidence of the kind Actavis are arguing for, and it is also exactly the area where post-filed evidence is used to support the applicant's case.Feb 23 18:54
schestowitz    In this case, I would argue that Pfizer have contributed a treatment for pain using pregabalin (the first such teaching) and they should be entitled to a claim scope that is reasonably supported by the evidence in the application. The evidence was found to plausibly support, inter alia, 'peripheral neuropathic pain' and the question of whether they can extend the claim to 'central neuropathic pain' is the 'reasonable extrapolation'Feb 23 18:54
