| r_schestowitz | It is difficult to see more denial of reality from people in responsibility. | Jan 11 14:51 |
| r_schestowitz | Up to now Mr Ramsay was alone in its wishful thinking, now he is joined by the head of the EPO and the head of the “Select Committee”. | Jan 11 14:51 |
| r_schestowitz | That they do not want to see all the energy put in the UPC having been wasted is understandable, but the message conveyed cannot be a message of hope, but of meaningless self-prophecy. | Jan 11 14:51 |
| r_schestowitz | What gives those distinguished people the assurance that the German Federal Constitutional Court will dismiss the complaint about the UPC, and the further complaints about the independence of the Boards of Appeal of the EPO? | Jan 11 14:51 |
| r_schestowitz | The recent attempt of the head of the EPO to twist the arm of the Enlarged Board in matters of Art 53, b) and R 28(2), does not abode well for the independence of the Boards of Appeal. | Jan 11 14:51 |
| r_schestowitz | When Downing Street makes clear that the CJEU will not have any influence in UK, it looks bad for the London Section of the Central Division. Just let Art 87(2) UPCA work? Can it be constitutional that an international treaty might be amended by a decision of an administrative body bypassing parliaments unless the government decides to submit the amendments to the parliament? | Jan 11 14:51 |
| r_schestowitz | What is amazing is that those people think that the UPC is of “paramount importance to competitiveness, growth and innovation in Europe” and that “Our users – and in particular SMEs – will strongly benefit from it because it will make Europe more competitive in relation to the United States and Asia”. | Jan 11 14:51 |
| r_schestowitz | Why have countries like Poland and the Czech Republic decided not to join the UPC? If the perspective for their industry would be as rosy as is pretended by those people, they should have jumped at the possibility to join the UPC. | Jan 11 14:51 |
| r_schestowitz | It remains a matter of fact that barely a third of the applications filed at the EPO stem from EU member states. And from this third how many stem from SMEs? I would like to see a coherent demonstration and not a repeated allegation that SMEs will profit from the UPC. In this respect, the pseudo studies published by the EPO under the precedent head of the EPO are not worth the paper they are printed on. | Jan 11 14:51 |
| r_schestowitz | As 2/3 of the applications stem from outside the EU, the big beneficiaries are US, Japanese and other Asian countries, and not Europe. How stupid to give those countries the possibility to have one point of attack when starting litigation in Europe. | Jan 11 14:51 |
| r_schestowitz | In how far this possibility to centrally attack European Patents is of “paramount importance to competitiveness, growth and innovation in Europe” remains to be convincingly explained. Why has the basic fee for infringement be set at 11 000 €, and the basic fee for a nullity action or a counterclaim for nullity set at 20 000 €? There is a clear advantage for the patent proprietor. Why this disproportion? To help SMEs? | Jan 11 14:52 |
| r_schestowitz | On the other hand, when seeing the quality of European Patents dwindling, some of the proprietors might have bad surprises. Just look at the number of patents revoked or heavily reduced in scope after opposition, be it for added matter or lack of patentability. The number of cases in which the patent was revoked in view of prior art not available in the search files of the EPO is negligible. | Jan 11 14:52 |
| r_schestowitz | And last but not least, how to avoid diverging case law between the UPC and the Boards of Appeal of the EPO? Both are competent to decide upon the validity of granted European Patents. | Jan 11 14:52 |
| r_schestowitz | As the proprietor might limit his patent during all its life, why not extend the possibility of an opposition to the same extent. This would make the UPC superfluous, as the industries needing a patent in more than 5-7 countries can be counted on the fingers of a hand. This would keep all member states of the EPO on a par. | Jan 11 14:52 |
| r_schestowitz | And this would be cheaper and not give an advantage to companies with deep pockets helped by internationally acting lawyers firms also poised to fill their pockets. | Jan 11 14:52 |

| schestowitz | All BSD (Berkeley Software Distribution) derived systems since 4.4, i.e. those using the Net/1, 4.4-Lite, and/or 4.4.-Lite2 code, are only “unix-like”, not containing a line of original UNIX™ code.

| schestowitz | Yeah, the differences are mostly invisible to users, though if you write software or port it between the various distributions and releases as I do then the differences can be quite radical (and frustrating).
