schestowitz[TR][22:38] <xxxx> Hey, I can't control what you put on your site, but Alex did not plead guilty. He had a pretrial diversion, which means his guilt is undetermined in a criminal court.Mar 03 05:35
schestowitz[TR][22:39] <schestowitz> the "pled guilty" part was said by you at the timeMar 03 05:35
schestowitz[TR][22:39] <xxxx>  Even if he was determined, not guilty in a criminal court, that does not mean that he did not commit theMar 03 05:35

schestowitz[TR][22:40] <xxxx>  whenever I sent over the documentation, that's whenever I knew the full storyMar 03 05:35
schestowitz[TR][22:40] <xxxx>  At first, I thought he had a deferred adjudication, which is a  similar, but different scenario in which you do you plead guiltyMar 03 05:35
schestowitz[TR][22:40] <xxxx>  But then they wipe the charges after a few yearsMar 03 05:35
schestowitz[TR][22:41] <xxxx>  In a pretrial diversion, you don't plead guilty, but you also have to do a program and stay up out of trouble for six monthsMar 03 05:35
schestowitz[TR][22:41] <xxxx>  It's essentially probation without having it go on your recordMar 03 05:35
schestowitz[TR][22:42] <xxxx>  Either way, just remember that OJ was never convicted in criminal court,  but he was determined to be guilty in the civil courtMar 03 05:35
schestowitz[TR][22:42] <xxxx>  So your ability to say he's guilty, or not really is a matter of opinionMar 03 05:35
schestowitz[TR][22:42] <xxxx>  I am learning way too much about the law right now I could be a lawyer by the end of this. God help meMar 03 05:35

schestowitz[TR][22:44] <xxxx> It sounds like he might have pled guilty, but [22:44] <xxxx> There wouldn't be a record of itMar 03 05:35
schestowitz[TR][22:45] <xxxx>  Either way, he could still be charged again with the same crime, and tried at a later date.Mar 03 05:35
schestowitz[TR][22:47] <xxxx>  The system is super fucked upMar 03 05:35
schestowitz[TR][22:47] <xxxx>  They basically come up with these programs, claiming that they're trying to help first time offenders and for people to get a clean slate if they've made a mistakeMar 03 05:35
schestowitz[TR][22:48] <xxxx>  But people like Alex, who have been committing crimes for years and avoiding the law  can use a good lawyer to get them out of troubleMar 03 05:35
schestowitz[TR][22:49] <xxxx> And most people that are minorities and poor get busted more frequently,  therefore, they don't qualifyMar 03 05:35

schestowitz[TR]"Patent Quality: Can it be put back on the EPO's agenda?Mar 03 11:58
schestowitz[TR]Dear colleagues,Mar 03 11:58
schestowitz[TR]Several European companies have recently expressed serious concern about the declining quality of granted patents by the EPO in a letter sent to Vice-President DG 1.Mar 03 11:58
schestowitz[TR]The future of the European patent system depends on how the EPO, as a public service, is able to set worldwide standards to foster innovation in the interest of European society. Consequently, management should take the criticism very seriously. The staff would be perfectly capable of carrying out prior art searches of the highest quality and, accordingly, conducting patent examination procedures that result either in patents that sMar 03 11:58
schestowitz[TR]tand up in court or in refusals when adequate. Mismanagement resulting in declining quality should be put under the spotlight: time budgets and incentive systems for staff, recruitment policy, HR policies, IT strategy, etc.Mar 03 11:58
schestowitz[TR]The Staff Committee is ready to contribute actively and constructively to these points so as to respond to external criticism and put quality back on the EPO’s agenda.Mar 03 11:58
