schestowitz"Nov 19 07:56
schestowitzIt depends on the function. Some things are fine tethered to the wall. A long while ago, my dad bought an electric lawnmower that had to be plugged in… Not very practical and a potential hazard if you lost track of the extension cord and ran it over. Mine now has batteries. Much more convenient and safer.Nov 19 07:56
schestowitzThe biggest problem is people can’t think long term, so they buy single use batteries because they’re cheaper right now. They produce much more waste at a greater cumulative cost than rechargeable batteriesNov 19 07:56

-TechBytesBot/#techbytes-ipkitten.blogspot.com | The IPKat: Birss J in Accord v Research Corporation Technologies attempts to cut the red tape on the right to claim priorityNov 19 15:31
schestowitz"Nov 19 15:31
schestowitz The problem whether a right of priority has been validly transferred has also crept up before the EPO.Nov 19 15:31
schestowitzA look at various decisions, some of them quite recent, shows how difficult this might be at times. However one thing is clear, the transfer of priority has to be done before claiming the priority for a later filing. What is the law then applicable?Nov 19 15:31
schestowitzSee T 508/13, T 1201/14, T 577/11, T 205/14 and T 517/14(same parties in both), T 2462/10, T 160/13.Nov 19 15:31
schestowitzT 1201/14 was commented upon in this blog:Nov 19 15:31

-TechBytesBot/#techbytes-ipkitten.blogspot.de | The IPKat: T 1201/14: EPC's substantive requirements for valid transfer of priority right surprisingly substantialNov 19 15:31
schestowitzI cannot remember if it was here or on another blog, but it has brought about a suggestion from a well known lawyer, but I cannot find his comment quickly. He sugggested that the question of ownership of priority should be left to national courts, as for any dispute relating to the property of an application. According to this opinion, the EPO should just verify identity of the invention. If this is the case, then the right of priority shouldNov 19 15:31
schestowitznot be challenged by the EPO. The problem is: what would be the legal basis allowing the EPO checking only identity of the invention?Nov 19 15:31
schestowitzThis topic, although not so frequent, will keep us busy for a long time. The reason is simple: the problem may not only come up at the EPO, but in any member state of the Paris Convention in which priority from an earlier filing is claimed.Nov 19 15:31

schestowitz" Max, I thjnk it may be a cultural thing. In the UK, it is generally a case of "I am who I say I am until you can show otherwise" but the more continental way is to demand proof at all times, hence the demands of the EPO to demonstrate the right of a signatory to bind the company or, here, the chain of transfer of ownership. If both the original applicant and the new applicant are happy with the situation, where is the problem? "Nov 21 01:24

schestowitz Nice to have two answers.Nov 21 01:24
schestowitzWhen they wrote the EPC in 1973,they excluded lack of clarity (indefiniteness) under Art 84 EPC as a ground of revocation. Why that? Good reasons. Let anybody object to that and everybody will object. However spurious the grounds. Not helpful to the administration of justice. Every patent that any Patent Office ever granted is indefinite (lacks clarity) to some extent. Admit that as a ground to dispute validity and no duly issued patent isNov 21 01:24

schestowitz I have had entitlement raised in opposition proceedings in a different context.Nov 21 18:43
schestowitzIt was a case where we had received instructions at a very late stage in the opposition proceedings, so hadn't gone into its genesis. While on the face of it, all was in order, it transpired from opponent's submission that, in the intervening period (as evidenced by extracts from the company register in the priority country) the original applicant had gone bankrupt. Its assets had then been acquired by another company which had then changedNov 21 18:43
schestowitzits name to the same name as the original applicant. Thus, although the names were identical, they were different legal entities.Nov 21 18:43
schestowitzA complicating factor was that, as the original applicant had become legally incapacitated by its bankruptcy, the EP proceedings were technically suspended with effect from the actual date of incapacity. This was automatic and not reliant on notice being given to the EPO. Prima facie, the consequence was that all proceedings on the EP application, including the opposition proceedings and its procedural deadlines, were without effect, meaningNov 21 18:43
schestowitzthat prima facie there was still an opportunity to rectify the chain of entitlement. No decision was actually made on the entitlement point or the suspension of proceedings. The applicant decided to drop the case due to the expense.Nov 21 18:43

schestowitz<blockquote>Nov 22 06:23
schestowitz <p>Ten years ago, it was only corporations such as Google who had to decide whether they could ethically continue operating in markets distorted by state surveillance. Today that dilemma is beginning to confront the most basic, physical consumer brands trying to operate in China – and, as mass surveillance technology is deployed, it will get worse.  </p>Nov 22 06:23
schestowitz <p>On the [I]nternet, there is already Balkanisation; there is the Chinese tech market and the rest of the world. Soon, right down to issues such as choice of styles or colours in fashion, global companies will be selling into two kinds of market. In one, consumers really do exercise choice, and consumer data is for the use of the seller only; in another, China, every micro-level consumer choice is scanned by the mass surveillance programmesNov 22 06:23

schestowitz To Blobby: I'm grateful you quoted PA 1978, Section 72 (1). Has S 72(2) caught your eye yet? That was the provision that I had in mind when writing above. What do you make of that, I wonder.Nov 22 18:58
schestowitzAt the back of my mind also was the presumption under EPC Art 60(3) that the Applicant is the one entitled to the patent. To put the burden of proof on Applicant, that it is indeed the owner of the right to claim priority under the Paris Convention from the earlier application, strikes me as unduly formalistic.Nov 22 18:58
schestowitzI want that patent law commands respect from business people, politicians and opinion leaders. Without such respect, the patent system will lose whatever reputation it ever had. Every time some detail of patent law gets unduly formalistic, and a vital patent goes down "on a technicality", damage is done. As you say, the public suffers, every time a bad patent is used as blackmail, and survives a petition for its extinction. But striking downNov 22 18:58

schestowitzAlso, paying money doesn’t enhance censorship resistance at all as far as I can see. Profit-making companies are more vulnerable than the hundreds of people at a time hosting the Play zite on ZeroNet, and surely the MPAA hates Play.Nov 25 19:34

schestowitzSchestowitz writes :Nov 25 19:37
schestowitz"As it turned out, the Mastodon network had effectively shadowbanned me for months. This isn’t the fault of one person or one instance because — as it turns out — the network/federation maintains some sort of blacklists for arbitrarily silencing particular instances/people. So even if I self-hosted my toots, I would be visible/active but blacklisted. "  https://is.gd/ZZmFVfNov 25 19:37
schestowitzIs it possible to blacklist people like that on this network?Nov 25 19:37
schestowitz"Nov 25 19:37
schestowitz"Total fiction. The federation / fediverse does not syndicate blacklists. At most, some admins share a blacklist from a shared repository, but it's something each admin must opt into manually."Nov 25 19:37
schestowitz" I think there are multiple server blocklists being syndicated around. As Sean said, these lists are opt-in, but some admins that subscribe to the lists tend to ban other instances if the admins of those instances do not also use the lists."Nov 25 19:37
schestowitz"But I think we can fairly conclude that this isn't Mastodon's fault as long as the syndicated blacklist is not part of the platform (Mastodon), as long as it is not officially released as part of its code, and as long as the platform does not provide mechanisms to add blacklists."Nov 25 19:38

schestowitzHello, Roy.Nov 25 19:44
schestowitzI hope this message will reach your attention.Nov 25 19:44
schestowitzToday I saw this thread on Mastodon: https://mastodon.social/@lohang/99059112311247775Nov 25 19:44
schestowitzI followed the links and read both of your posts about your situation.Nov 25 19:44
schestowitzI have several accounts on diaspora, and this is the one that follows you. You make posts very often, and, like some other users, I'm a kind of person who likes to read whole timeline through and through once a day - so I can't keep up with people who post a lot. However, some of the stuff you post interests me, that's why I follow you from a separate account. Also, I get some of your posts through subscription to certain tags.Nov 25 19:44
schestowitzNow, I'm just some random user you don't even know. But I felt the need to run and write to you. Please, forgive that the message is verbose.Nov 25 19:45
schestowitzI believe that Mastodon practice of silencing whole instances is bad. At the same time, as a user who does not host my own instance, I understand that administrators who spend time and money on this service, have some rights to make certain decisions.Nov 25 19:45
schestowitzYou are right that it's rude to not let you log in and export all your data for migration. All those users who supposedly "reported" your account, are mostly likely just like me - they fear large volumes of posts from users. This doesn't necessarily mean they're very very bad people. I think the islamophobia thing was just another pretext - not the main reason. The admin simply decided he doesn't want to encourage users to post so much. Is heNov 25 19:45
schestowitzwrong and evil? May be.Nov 25 19:45
schestowitzYou are a long-time Federation user and huge FOSS supporter. That's why most people respect you (including myself). Both your posts about this Masto issue are very emotional. I guess you're an emotional and determined person, generally. But what if instead of cursing Mastodon, comparing it to Twitter, etc, you let it calm down - we all have egos, and when someone treats us unfairly, we get angry. Yet acting from mind and logic, not fromNov 25 19:45
schestowitzemotions, is more productive.Nov 25 19:45
schestowitzWhat if you deleted your posts (as the most generous act of will), chose another instance (after all, there are more than 2000 of them) - may be the one administered by a friend of yours? And made it public that you're back ("Asta la vista, baby, I'll be back"?) and that you don't hold the grudge? You could even appear in that thread from your new account and say hi. Did you notice that Eugen said he was glad when you joined his project?Nov 25 19:45
schestowitzAfter all, Mastodon is free software (as in freedom). Don't you kind of betray your own ideals by comparing it to Twitter on personal grounds (saying that Twitter at least didn't ban you that badly). If people like you go away because someone doesn't like you (haters gonna hate?), users will keep hanging out on Twitter, Facebook, etc. Isn't this opposite to what we all wish? You are from the UK, where people have a good sense of humour. WhyNov 25 19:45
schestowitznot turn it all into a joke? Doing it this way, and not in an emotional way, will look like a clever thing to do.Nov 25 19:45
schestowitzThe Fediverse - and Mastodon in particular - has a potential. If it attracts even more people, others might start to migrate from proprietary centralized services. Fediverse is not super private or anonymous, but it's still much better than putting all your eggs in one basket. I also don't like many things in the Fediverse. Yet I spend my time and money promoting it. Also, I promote all the Fediverse networks, although some maintainers hateNov 25 19:45
