schestowitzDear Attentive, you set me thinking on the consequences of i) extending the EPO opposition period for the full term of the patent, together with ii) simultaneously putting in place measures to ease the EPO Appeals structure out from under the controlling thumb of the almighty EPO President.Oct 15 12:03
schestowitzI can imagine that the big international law firms will see dollar signs dancing in front of their eyes: I can imagine them (and their big corporate clients) swinging around to a position of lobbying powerfully in Brussels for such reforms to be carried through, the sooner the better.Oct 15 12:03

schestowitzUnfortunately, the first, second and third instance of the “revocation court” at the EPO are under the control of the EPO, so that this court is not independent from the EPO (e.g. like the BPatG) as it should be under the rule of law.Oct 15 12:03
schestowitzMoreover, the “revocation court” at the EPO is by far the slowest patent court in Europe, though it allows to file a very limited number of briefs (1 or 2 per party and instance) and does not handle infringement.Oct 15 12:03

schestowitzRobot, in recent years the Boards of Appeal of the EPO have been hobbled by an EPO President who thought that patent validity would be better adjudicated in Paris. The patents courts of England used to be dreadfully slow and expensive. Not any more. These things are not set in stone. Where there’s a will there’s a way. Important is to ask how high is the quality of the established case law of the Boards of Appeal of the EPO and Oct 15 12:04
schestowitzhow much legal certainty that case law has brought to those in Europe who are asked by their clients to write opinions on validity.Oct 15 12:04
schestowitzAs for you Jonah, I still believe in the idea of representative democracy. The more difficult the question, the more important it is that Parliament should decide it. The trouble today is that electors, bamboozled by social media, elect as their representatives to Parliament persons who are venal, narcissistic, or both, even sometimes psychopaths. Me, I would rein in social media but, strangely, the MP’s seem reluctant to do it.Oct 15 12:04
