| schestowitz-TR2 | adding andy's part 4 to drafts now | Dec 28 00:44 |
| Techrights-sec2 | ack | Dec 28 00:54 |
| Techrights-sec2 | part iv could lead in with a more specific thesis statement | Dec 28 00:54 |
| Techrights-sec2 | ok the scripts seem ok now, the one set of warnings is because | Dec 28 00:54 |
| Techrights-sec2 | the XML gradually gets replaced/ contaminated by non-XML (gemtext) | Dec 28 00:54 |
| Techrights-sec2 | and that bothers the parser module | Dec 28 00:54 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | unforeseen consequences of other coding? I still occasionally check the gemtext irc logs for sanity | Dec 28 00:54 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | I could use clarity on" part iv could lead in with a more specific thesis statement" | Dec 28 00:55 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | I am not sure what you have in mind; I can ask him, we speak like 5 times per day | Dec 28 00:55 |
| Techrights-sec2 | not so much coding as the result of mixing and matching XML with Gemtext | Dec 28 00:57 |
| Techrights-sec2 | the XML/HTML parser expects valid, well-formed elements. Gemtext is | Dec 28 00:57 |
| Techrights-sec2 | an error in that regard. I suppose there might be a different work flow | Dec 28 00:57 |
| Techrights-sec2 | to build up Gemtext, but for now the scripts go through a page | Dec 28 00:57 |
| Techrights-sec2 | and replace whole blocks of XHTML with Gemtext eventually leaving on | Dec 28 00:57 |
| Techrights-sec2 | only the Gemtext. | Dec 28 00:57 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | gemini is still young and there's time to improve things, the code is shown publicly in its latest form and sometimes I point to it in case someone wishes to reuse bits | Dec 28 00:57 |
| Techrights-sec2 | Thanks. I'm not sure what I have in mind either but have an easier time | Dec 28 00:58 |
| Techrights-sec2 | of the so-called inverted pyramid style of writing, so benefit from having | Dec 28 00:58 |
| Techrights-sec2 | the key info up top. I don't want to interfere with the writing style (much) | Dec 28 00:58 |
| Techrights-sec2 | just need a pointer at the beginning of what thread to follow as I read the | Dec 28 00:58 |
| Techrights-sec2 | body of the article. | Dec 28 00:58 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | the essay is many unconnected thoughts and experiences, it's not supposed to be very coherent as a whole | Dec 28 00:59 |
| Techrights-sec2 | Gemtext and XML don't mix. Nothing will change that. An XML parser will | Dec 28 01:02 |
| Techrights-sec2 | always choke on Gemtext. The trick would be to build a new document parallel | Dec 28 01:02 |
| Techrights-sec2 | to the old one as the old one is deleted, but I am not sure how to deal | Dec 28 01:02 |
| Techrights-sec2 | with making the place holders. I guess I could build some complicated structure | Dec 28 01:02 |
| Techrights-sec2 | of associative arrays and dump that as text at the end. | Dec 28 01:02 |
| Techrights-sec2 | I see, then maybe just a half-sentence at the beginning mentioning that | Dec 28 01:02 |
| Techrights-sec2 | it is a collection of thoughts and experiences. | Dec 28 01:02 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | I am extending the summary now | Dec 28 01:02 |
| Techrights-sec2 | Thanks. | Dec 28 01:03 |
| schestowitz__[TR] | Dr. Andy Farnell shares his experiences from this past year -- a sporadic collection of thoughts that can hopefully start a dialogue about unhealthy and unethical trends in today's increasingly regressive if not Orwellian technology; he now focuses on pandemic response and knowledge sharing, as opposed to privateering and profiteering (this includes a modest proposal/critique of some problematic aspects of patent and copyright laws) | Dec 28 01:05 |
| Techrights-sec2 | I'll take a break in a bit. Any last minute things? I think the Gemtext is ok | Dec 28 01:07 |
| Techrights-sec2 | now. | Dec 28 01:07 |
| Techrights-sec2 | I'd like to remove the bullets from the headings since I suspect they may | Dec 28 01:07 |
| Techrights-sec2 | be annoying for screenreaders. But that would require a major revision and | Dec 28 01:07 |
| Techrights-sec2 | might make scraping even harder later. I'll have to think on that for a long | Dec 28 01:07 |
| Techrights-sec2 | while. | Dec 28 01:07 |
| Techrights-sec2 | Excellent. | Dec 28 01:07 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | my guess is, screenreaders will skip a "bullet" | Dec 28 01:08 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | but I never used a screenreader | Dec 28 01:08 |
| Techrights-sec2 | Orca might be easy to set up here, but I'd have to rearrange some systems first | Dec 28 01:08 |

| -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-ipkitten.blogspot.com | Board of Appeal finds no legal basis for the requirement to amend the description in line with the claims (T 1989/18) - The IPKat | Dec 28 18:59 | |
| schestowitz__[TR] | " | Dec 28 18:59 |
| schestowitz__[TR] | Arguing that we shouldn't seek legal certainty in one area because there are other bigger issues in another area is a fallacy. | Dec 28 18:59 |
| schestowitz__[TR] | Description amendments put us in a trance because they waste our clients' money and do not improve legal certainty enough to justify the additional costs. When I am prosecuting, description amendments are purely a waste of my time and the client's money. When I am reviewing third parties' patents, it makes essentially no difference to my infringement opinions whether the description has been amended. So what is the point, particularly when | Dec 28 18:59 |
| schestowitz__[TR] | the legal justification is so weak? Article 84 requires the description to support the claimed invention, but a bridge can support many cars simultaneously. | Dec 28 18:59 |
| schestowitz__[TR] | " | Dec 28 18:59 |
| schestowitz__[TR] | " | Dec 28 19:00 |
| schestowitz__[TR] | I'm a representative, Attentive, but I'm not one of those put into a trance. I am somwhat equivocal about the whole issue of conforming the description. If we see the description as a historical record of what was filed by the Applicant on the filing date of the application, then any effort to conform it to the allowed claims is misguided. Conversely, if the description of the B publication is to be that which informs the task of | Dec 28 19:00 |
| schestowitz__[TR] | construing the issued claims, then it should be conformed. | Dec 28 19:00 |
| schestowitz__[TR] | For me, the more interesting choice is whether to excise passages of the description or, instead, hang on to them but preface them with words indicating that they are not descriptions of subject matter within the ambit of the claim. I find that my decision varies from case to case, often turning on Art 83 EPC considerations. Sometimes I want to hang on to those passages but in other cases I am thinking that the scope of infringement by | Dec 28 19:00 |

| schestowitz__[TR] | There is one decision T 1989/18 which goes against T 1808/06 which is the reference in matters of adaptation of the description. | Dec 28 19:01 |
| schestowitz__[TR] | Should the president file a referral for every decision which is contrary to another one the legal department of the EPO would only be busy with such matters. This is not reasonable. | Dec 28 19:01 |
| schestowitz__[TR] | To me there is one referral which could be useful: depending on the BA to which the file goes, the absence of a measuring method is considered sometimes as a matter under under Art 83 which leads to the revocation of the patent. For other BA it is a mere problem of Art 84 which under G 3/14 cannot be discussed in opposition. | Dec 28 19:01 |
| schestowitz__[TR] | This lottery effect should be brought to an end, and if a BA is not prepared to refer the question to the EBA, then the president should do so. | Dec 28 19:01 |

| schestowitz__[TR] | Dear Max Drei, | Dec 28 19:08 |
| schestowitz__[TR] | I can agree with you that it would help if the description would not have to be adapted to the new claims like in the US. | Dec 28 19:08 |
| schestowitz__[TR] | There are however two conditions to fulfil: | Dec 28 19:08 |
| schestowitz__[TR] | 1) the last sentence of Art 84 should be deleted, and this needs an amendment of the EPC other than by "secondary legislation"; | Dec 28 19:08 |
| schestowitz__[TR] | 2) like in the US, the behaviour of the applicant/proprietor during examination should be taken into account. | Dec 28 19:08 |
| schestowitz__[TR] | The problem is that there is a fluctuating legislation about the doctrine of equivalents. This results to a large part of the refusal of the contracting state to adopt a definition of equivalents in the protocol on Art 69 during the diplomatic conference of 2000. An Art 2 has been added, but the Art 3 about equivalents has been rejected. | Dec 28 19:08 |
| schestowitz__[TR] | The EPO cannot cater for the various ways equivalents are dealt with by the national jurisdiction and can thus not accept that what is claimed is not really what is claimed but could also be something else. | Dec 28 19:08 |
| schestowitz__[TR] | By the way the BA in T 1989/18 seems to have confused clarity of the claims as such (first part of Art 84) and support by the description (last sentence of Art 84). | Dec 28 19:08 |
| schestowitz__[TR] | Last but not least, it is, at least for the time being, a single decision. | Dec 28 19:08 |
| schestowitz__[TR] | Should the Guidelines be adapted, it might indeed take quite a while. | Dec 28 19:08 |
| schestowitz__[TR] | How long did it take to remove the purposive selection in the Guidelines? | Dec 28 19:08 |
| schestowitz__[TR] | The three points test = ex essentiality test is still in the Guidelines in spite of the heavy criticism by the BA. | Dec 28 19:08 |

| schestowitz__[TR] | For me, this decision is a bolt out of the blue but, on reflection, perhaps we should have been expecting it. Striking out the requirement for strictly conforming the description to the allowed claims will deliver a huge boost (to use the technical term de jour) to efficiency at the EPO. Such a huge uplift in efficiency would clear the way for management to reduce the numbers of highly paid EPo Examiners quite considerably. Besides, the | Dec 28 19:08 |
| schestowitz__[TR] | Americans don't do it, and their courts can still manage to do patent litigation, so why should we Euro's worry, eh? | Dec 28 19:08 |
| schestowitz__[TR] | One would have thought that Boards of Appeal are unswayed by thoughts about efficiency. Not any more though. The topic seems to weigh more and more heavily in their delibarations. Perhaps the members of this deciding Board are all still young, in tune with the times, and at this stage of their career within the EPO find thoughts about improving efficiency particularly persuasive. | Dec 28 19:08 |
| schestowitz__[TR] | Meanwhile, if past performance is any guide to the immediate future, we shall all have to continue delivering strict conformity, that is, until the Examiners' Bible, The Guidelines, suffers its next revision by management. | Dec 28 19:08 |
