    The Arch Linux community has exciting news: the Arch Linux Package Management (ALPM) project has received significant funding (562,800) from the German Sovereign Tech Agency.

    [15:50] schestowitz[TR3]

    This financial boost will empower a team of four part-time developers to advance ALPM over the next 15 months. Work was already underway as of October 2024, and the project is set to deliver transformative changes by the end of 2025.

I have not been following the developments but am forced when the reasoning of the examiners became almost an assult on common sense. Does anyone else note that the beneficiaries of every develoment is for the minority? It is a member of the public for whom the claims are to be written. While still calling it support for the cl [20:00] schestowitz[TR3] aims, the mental contortion is finally sorted out when I realise what they want is the descrption to be supported by the claims. The skilled man is not competing with the member of the piblic when we decide whose skilled and point of view should guide the amendments and interpretation. As only the claims are translated into all the official languages, an excuse is for making claims as independent of the description for interpretati [20:00] schestowitz[TR3] on as possible and this is achieved by cuttng down the description. A lengthy discription is deemed less likely to illuminate despite any irrelevant embodiments than a non-description-reliant reading of the claims. Take a moment to look at the insanity. Why should one consider protecting the rights of a member of the public as he is protected by the doctrine of the exhaustion of right? All the third parties in the Guidelines are pe [20:00] schestowitz[TR3] ople who have an interest in the application or the patent, either a licensee or someone contend for ownership and the likes, and these people are not only provided for in the EPC, they are supposed to engage professionals. It has gone so bad that filing an EP is a process of announcing to these third parties which may include competitors how he may design around your patent. This is an anti-patent system. Not only are the interets [20:00] schestowitz[TR3] of minority and the apathetic member of the public placed first, the wild ideas of the examiners are easily intruduced into the Guiddlines which although not law is made as good as law. The last nail, the unelected and unknown minority is telling you what you can do."
