r_schestowitz"Sep 28 10:45
r_schestowitzNot later than September 4th, Mr Christof Augenstein from Kather Augenstein made it clear that the UPC is not for SMEs.Sep 28 10:45
r_schestowitzThe present blog comes as an up to the point confirmation of what was expressed on Sept 4th.Sep 28 10:45
r_schestowitzThe fears about language problems might not be as acute as said in the blog, but we are still far away from acceptable machine translations, should they ever come.Sep 28 10:45
r_schestowitzOral hearings before a local court could well be in the local language when only infringement is at stake, but any action for revocation will be heard by the central division, so that an SME will be clearly at a disadvantage if it does not master the language in which the patent was granted.Sep 28 10:45
r_schestowitzOn top of this interpretation costs are costs of the proceedings which will have to be borne by the loosing party. That they are ceilings for reimbursement of costs of the proceedings is certainly positive, but probably not sufficient to help out SMEs.Sep 28 10:45
r_schestowitzMost of what has been said here applies to other countries and their SMEs. Even for German or French SMEs, 20 000 € fees to start to defend themselves with a nullity action is a price that most of them cannot afford. And this is without the lawyers’ fees.Sep 28 10:45
r_schestowitzWhen on top it can well happen through the forced intervention that a third party has to abide to a decision of the UPC without having participated in the debate, one can realise how dangerous the UPC will be. Can you imagine which damages this might cause to SMEs?Sep 28 10:45
r_schestowitzA few years ago, at a conference at the DPMA, SMEs from Bavaria made it clear that they cannot afford the UPC, and the few fee rebates they can expect does not make it interesting whatsoever.Sep 28 10:45
r_schestowitzPoland has decided not to ratify for more or less the same reasons. I take bets that other smaller countries of the EU will follow with the exception of two of them Portugal and Slovenia as they have been awarded an arbitration chamber. They cannot but ratify, which is, as yet, not the case for Slovenia.Sep 28 10:45
r_schestowitzTo be blunt, the UP and the UPC system is no more than a money machine for big industry and internationally active big lawyers firms.Sep 28 10:45
r_schestowitzThis is compounded by the fact that 2/3 of European Patents are granted to non-EU companies/nationals. The inroad for litigation is a broad open boulevard, and it will not take long for European Industry, beside few exceptions, to start complaining about the burden imposed to it by foreign litigants.Sep 28 10:45
r_schestowitzThe UPC is a prime example of what lobbying by certain circles can achieve.Sep 28 10:45
r_schestowitzWe might one day be thankful for Brexit and the complaint before the German Federal Constitution Court for having brought an end to a system concocted by a few lobbyists primarily interested by filling their pockets, but hiding behind the fig leave of SMEs and the unification of Europe.Sep 28 10:45
r_schestowitzI would like to remind of article of Richard Vary, published in May 2013 in the CIPA Magazine, 249-252. The title says it all: The UPC puts European businesses at a competitive disadvantage.Sep 28 10:45
r_schestowitzIn the article, the RoP still remained open, but what has come out is not encouraging and merely set up to the advantage of their drafters. Too much has been packed in the RoP in order to obtain ratification as quickly as possible.Sep 28 10:45
r_schestowitzEven if the UPC has been amended since the article has been written, one of the problems will be forum shopping, which is by no means excluded under the UPC. This was by the way one of the reasons why the Luxembourg Convention of 1975 was dead-borne.Sep 28 10:45
r_schestowitzThere are enough mechanisms in place to avoid fractioning of the EU market with patents, and for the few supranational litigations a year, they can afford to act before different courts. Their pockets are deep enough. Here subsidiarity would be the better solution.Sep 28 10:45
r_schestowitzThe EU has lived a long time without the UPC, it will even better survive without it.Sep 28 10:45

r_schestowitz"Sep 28 20:25
r_schestowitzThere are two data transmission levels; one is from the core servers (database/application) to the edges, e.g. a new virtual machine or net0/rep0. Another is between the clients (as in customers/users) and the edge/s. Internal transmission of the data would be no less secure than what we already have at the moment, e.g. for reports, so there are two aspects remaining:Sep 28 20:25
r_schestowitz1. How well isolated are the users from other files on the same server and Sep 28 20:25
r_schestowitz2. To what degree has the data transfer between the edges and the user been secured?Sep 28 20:25
r_schestowitzIn the case of (1), suppose the users are not malicious and you already know their identity anyway.Sep 28 20:25
r_schestowitzIn the case of (2), sftp (secure FTP or FTP over an encryption layer) should be secure enough and the data transmitted isn't so sensitive that interception (e.g. man in the middle, MitM) would somehow put the servers at risk.Sep 28 20:25
r_schestowitzThere are several other aspects I can think of, but they're less critical and less relevant. They're to do with possible scenarios outside users' control. There's always that remote chance, for example, that some user's PC might get compromised and then used to access the servers on their behalf.Sep 28 20:25
r_schestowitzSo to give the short answer, a separate and new VM would tackle scenario (1). I suppose this merits analysis such as how many clients would use such a feature, how often and thus what kind of budget that warrants. As the main utility for such a service is data transfer alone (bandwidth) rather than RAM- and CPU-intensive jobs, making use of existing VMs might be preferable. We might want to just audit what else is on the existing Sep 28 20:26
r_schestowitzservers (net0/rep0) and how good the isolation is.Sep 28 20:26
r_schestowitzAt the end I think it's a cost/benefit analysis (how much a new VM would cost and the value to users). I believe that the FTP account on the server can be and should be a separate UNIX username and group, so if done properly, and if the server gets patches regularly, we might be OK with an existing machine.Sep 28 20:26
