| -TechBytesBot/#techbytes-ipkitten.blogspot.com | Is it time to rethink the patent drawing requirements? - The IPKat | Jan 27 02:16 | |
| schestowitz | " | Jan 27 02:16 |
| schestowitz | Sorry to say, but I have never had a problem with the drawing requirements in relation to life science inventions. Chemical compounds, manufacturing processes, tables of data, and more, may be included in the description. Second medical use patents do not require drawings, bar charts, or 3D manipulatable CAD designs in 64-bit colour to render them sufficient. The wonderful thing about patents is the requirement to describe an invention using | Jan 27 02:16 |
| schestowitz | words, drawings being a mere aid to interpretation. | Jan 27 02:16 |
| schestowitz | Where a technology is not best-served by words and drawings, patent laws provide for things such as biological deposits. However, when something ain't broke, there is no need for anyone to create a problem to be fixed in order to have something to write about. | Jan 27 02:16 |
| schestowitz | As for the mass-inclusion of drawings in life science patents, I feel many are unnecessary, even if they had been provided in a legible form. Photographs, for example, of stained cells and the like, show nothing, mean nothing, and add nothing. | Jan 27 02:16 |

| schestowitz | " | Jan 28 14:46 |
| schestowitz | I appreciate your optimism, but I think that it is a bit out of place here. | Jan 28 14:46 |
| schestowitz | You hope that Ms Simon will put things straight, especially with Ms Bergot. When it comes to the other VP you hope that they will abide by the rule of law. But you certainly know that the law is there to be interpreted. Will they go for an interpretation which will bring social peace or will they simply continue to apply the existing regime? It is a bit early to decide which way they will take, but I fear that the status quo is more likely, | Jan 28 14:46 |
| schestowitz | as it needs the least efforts. Why would Mr Ernst start going over board at the end of his career? He is there to make a bit of money and that is it. | Jan 28 14:46 |
| schestowitz | One could also consider that the new President could want the new VP do the “dirty” job to curtail the misbehaviour of Ms Bergot, and of all the other minions brought into the EPO by the former president. If this should be the case, he is not the right man at the right place. It is primarily his duty to give the whole scene a shakeup, not to have other people under his authority to do this. It is a question of credibility. | Jan 28 14:46 |
| schestowitz | As long as the whole clique put in place by the would-be Napoleon still occupy the jobs he assigned them, the new President will not gain the confidence of his staff. All the attempts of his trying to have a direct dialogue with staff will remain a fig leaf behind which nothing will really change. | Jan 28 14:46 |
| schestowitz | Remember also one thing. By granting as quickly as possible, the contracting states have got used to get a lot of annual fees much earlier. I am not sure they will want less, and later. This is one of the vicious legacies of the former head of the EPO literally buying votes in the AC. If there is one aspect on which the contracting states are not prepared to compromise, it is money. Money will always come before social peace. | Jan 28 14:46 |
| schestowitz | I might be overly pessimistic, but this pessimism is caused by a long time of looking at how things develop at the EPO. I would very much like to be nicely surprised, as hope dies last, but I fear that it will not be the case. | Jan 28 14:46 |
| schestowitz | " | Jan 28 14:46 |
| schestowitz | " | Jan 28 14:47 |
| schestowitz | Thanks for those three well-informed and informative answers to my post. We see from them that the forces of stasis are strong and that reversion to the Rule of Law is unlikely, at least for as long as the members of the Administrative Council (ie the Member States) can get away with shamelessly shrugging off any accountability, any responsibility for the misery and despair inside the EPO. | Jan 28 14:47 |
| schestowitz | For as long as it’s the money that counts, they will continue to pocket it (and demand ever more), shamelessly milking the cash cow without any concern for its health and welfare. | Jan 28 14:47 |
| schestowitz | But as Attentive points out, it’s the hope that dies last. Time to read the new book from best-seller Michael Lewis (The Fifth Risk) praising the unsung contribution to society that hard-working civil servants make. What goes around comes around. What you dish out to others comes back to bite you, in the end. | Jan 28 14:47 |

| schestowitz | “really broken” needs to be determined. In the case I had in mind -just a few months ago - my Debian-based system froze. Very unusual. And I could not recover. And it would not reboot. | Jan 29 00:53 |
| schestowitz | So, I took the hard-drive out and mounted it in another machine so that I could attempt to get an up-to-the minute data backup. That is when I discovered that the hard-drive was corrupted. OK, so I put another hard-drive into the down machine. Still no luck. Somehow (instinct?) I determined that the motherboard on the down machine was still OK, except for the SATA subsystem. So, I went forward and re-installed the OS on a USB3 flash drive, | Jan 29 00:53 |
| schestowitz | recovered my data from a backup, and I was back in business with the “broken” machine. Your mileage may vary. | Jan 29 00:53 |

| schestowitz | Dear Concerned Observer, | Jan 29 11:07 |
| schestowitz | The AC can only take decisions over people having been appointed by him. Those are the members of the Boards of Appeal, as well as the President and Vice-Presidents. It is very unlikely that the AC will ever turn against the President or the Vice-Presidents. If it ever had the intention to do so, it could have done so a long time ago. | Jan 29 11:07 |
| schestowitz | As far as members of the Boards of Appeal are concerned, we all know that it was only there to confirm a decision of the then president taken against one of its members in spite of the separation of powers. I would have thought that separation of powers is something which is taught at the Ecole Nationale d’Administration. Some of its alumni, or at least one of them, seem to have conveniently forgotten this very important rule. | Jan 29 11:07 |
| schestowitz | As it is not only the tail wagging the dog, but the cash cow has to be kept running, it means that it will never happen. The AC is a fake institution, and its members are simply there to cash their allowance, and all perks at their disposal. I do not know any finance minister who would instruct his delegation to the AC to get less money from the EPO. | Jan 29 11:07 |
| schestowitz | All other staff of ÊPO are appointed by the President or any member of staff he delegates this power, for instance the head of HR. So anything affecting staff management is out of the reach of the AC. The AC may amend the staff regulations, and this is upon proposal by the president. Do you expect any change under this configuration. | Jan 29 11:07 |
| schestowitz | The ILO-AT is not a recourse, as it will never look at the political side of the staff regulations. It will only check whether the correct procedural mechanisms have been followed in changing staff regulations or applying the latter, or whether there has been a manifest abuse of discretionary power. That is the prime reason why EPO’s staff is barely successful at ILO-AT. And it takes ages until a decision is taken there. | Jan 29 11:07 |
| schestowitz | There have been so many mechanisms put in place by EPO’s management to make it more and more difficult to even reach the ILO-AT (management review of complaints for instance) or even remove some management actions from the reach of ILO-AT, that any referral to the ILO-AT looks more like a desperate attempt to obtain some procedural justice than obtain real justice. The ILO-AT has never attempted to interpret the staff regulations and to | Jan 29 11:07 |
| schestowitz | scrutinise whether they are reasonable or not. | Jan 29 11:07 |
| schestowitz | It is thus clear that the ILO-AT is not a recourse contrary to what has been said by the Dutch Supreme Court: In times were presidents of international organisations have acted in good faith towards their staff is long time gone, and we have seen where it can lead when the head of an organisation is primarily concerned by his well behaviour and that of his minions. | Jan 29 11:07 |
| schestowitz | It is high time to create a forum where staff of international organisations will find true justice. Only staff of the EU can find true justice at the CJEU, as this forum does not hesitate in stating how staff regulations have to be interpreted. | Jan 29 11:07 |
| schestowitz | Many, many years ago, the EU commission had accepted after negotiation with staff unions of the EU that the salary increase would be within a given %range. When it came to apply the result, the EU commission decided that the increase would be 0,1% above the lower end of the range. For the Commission it was within the range. Strictly speaking yes, in reality no. The unions went before the CJEU and the latter decided that the salary increase | Jan 29 11:07 |
| schestowitz | should be the average value between the lower and the higher end of the range. This was the meaning to be given to the agreement between staff and Commission. | Jan 29 11:07 |
| schestowitz | You cannot expect a forum like the ILO-AT to give such an interpretation of the law, and therefore its efficiency, as far as staff is concerned, is tending towards nil. And on top of it, EPO’s management refuses to enter into negotiations with the most representative staff union, but relies on a creation of its own, and in negotiations in an apparently joint body, whose decision can be set aside by the president, and in which half the | Jan 29 11:07 |
| schestowitz | members are from (top) management. Unless the president of the EPO accepts that a joint body gives an opinion which is binding for both sides, anything else is useless. And probably the grand children of my children will never see this! | Jan 29 11:07 |

We see from them that the forces of stasis are strong and that reversion to the Rule of Law is unlikely, at least for as long as the members of the Administrative Council (ie the Member States) can get away with shamelessly shrugging off any accountability, any responsibility for the misery and despair inside the EPO. | Jan 31 09:58 |

| schestowitz | Yeah, I’ve installed it. I’ve even explored it some. If I’m to start using it as the other browser (Tor Browser is always open, though I mostly just borrow its running instance of Tor), I need to tweak it to give me all the must-have features I already have in Pale Moon. | Feb 02 04:44 |
| schestowitz | Does Ice Cat have the equivalent of Foxy Proxy built-in, as well? | Feb 02 04:45 |
| schestowitz | I use Foxy Proxy so that Pale Moon uses Tor’s SOCKS5 proxy for all .onion sites and selected clearnet sites, I2P’s HTTP and HTTPS proxies for .i2p sites, no proxy for LAN addresses (e.g., my router), and Mullvad’s SOCKS5 proxy for everything else. | Feb 02 04:45 |
| schestowitz | If not, I’ll bet you can install Foxy Proxy on Ice Cat. Yes? No? Maybe? | Feb 02 04:45 |
| schestowitz | BTW, some .onion sites are always used from the Tor Browser. Tor Browser always has sockets open for Tor’s control port. I assume that gives it the ability to do tricks that just using the SOCKS5 proxy doesn’t enable. | Feb 02 04:45 |

| schestowitz | Many thanks for replying, David. Good to know Pale Moon is safe, location wise, though I’ve never tried that one. Tor has those fields blank of course but I did notice a Google default on browser.search.defaultenginename= google (also one using DuckDuckGo). | Feb 02 05:03 |

| schestowitz | But as you said, regarding the scans they may legally be in some countries, even if they are not in their own country, so in effect the works will not be as free without CC0. Secondly, CC0 is not really a license – if it was, I would probably agree with you because a license requires copyright – CC0 is a waiver that sates “we give up any rights we may have” which doesn’t imply they do have any rights, just that they do not want any. | Feb 02 05:41 |
| schestowitz | Although I am aware there is a fallback license embedded in CC0, but that should only apply to the cases where there are rights present that can’t be waived. So my opinion is that CC0 is always applicable. But IANAL, am open to admitting I may be wrong. | Feb 02 05:41 |
| schestowitz | It now comes to my mind, do you think the CC Public Domain Mark would be a good solution to this? Because I might be inclined to agree with that. | Feb 02 05:41 |

| schestowitz | If the CC0 is attached to the scans / photography of which the museum is the creator / rights holder, it is OK. On the other hand, that does not say anything about the work depicted. Therefore it does not necessarily protect you from the creators of the scanned work or their heirs. | Feb 02 05:43 |
| schestowitz | Actually, on our shellack record site we make the distinction and grant CC0-rights to our pictures (and scripts, HTML, etc.). But we do not mention the copyright status of the music, because we did not create it. (Actually we go further and quote Swiss copyright as a guideline. But there is no way, we can bestow CC0 on recordings, where we most often do not even know the date of recording or the names of the creators.) | Feb 02 05:43 |
| schestowitz | And even worse are the museums that attach cc-by-nc or similar nonsense to their scans. Because they even RESTRICT access to public domain works. | Feb 02 05:43 |
| schestowitz | I believe the CC Public Domain mark comes closest. Its main problem is the fact, that legislators are changing the laws and the protection durations all the time and there is practically no way to make sure, that some work is in the public domain unless all creators died 200 years ago. (E.g. did you know about the WW2 exceptions for the protection duration in French law?) It would be nice, if one could apply national copyright law of the | Feb 02 05:43 |
