schestowitzThe decision predictably refers to the Lego case(s), and the argument appears to be that since the third party capsules have to interact with a coffee machine of defined characteristics, then trademark protection is impossible (i.e., the shape is functional).Oct 05 01:41
schestowitzIn the Lego case, a competitor would be able to select different size and proportion for her bricks, without necessarily having to achieve interoperability with the incumbent's product.Oct 05 01:41
schestowitzI can go along with the result, but so much with its underlying logic. The association of Lego brick's underside with a competitor's protrusions has similar relationship as the pairing of Nescafé machine with third party capsules.Oct 05 01:41

schestowitzThe Philips jurisprudence referred at 6.3.2 was an attempt to trademark the shape of their three-headed electric razor.Oct 05 01:41

-TechBytesBot/#techbytes-www.fosslife.org | The Basics of AwkOct 05 20:45
schestowitzThe Awk utility is widely used for its ability to accomplish complex tasks without requiring the installation of outside libraries or packages. Oct 05 20:45
schestowitzAnd, Awk is pretty simple, writes Adam Gordon Bell. “It has only a couple of conventions and only a small amount of syntax. As a result, it’s straightforward to learn, and once you understand it, it will come in handy more often than you’d think.”Oct 05 20:45
schestowitzIn Bell's article, you will learn the basics of Awk, starting with short one-liners and building up to a simple 33-line program.Oct 05 20:45
