| schestowitz | Very interesting! | Jul 17 01:24 |
| schestowitz | Yes, it would be useful to know and to show what it is. | Jul 17 01:24 |
| schestowitz | If you can send the photos, I guess the person who showed you around would know your identity, which I can hide. | Jul 17 01:24 |

| schestowitz | "I think we are on a similar wavelength re: the Linux Foundation and I have already learned a lot from your collection of links. Do you think we could find a time to speak? | Jul 17 01:46 |
| schestowitz | I'm interested in a number of questions: | Jul 17 01:46 |
| schestowitz | * How did you become focused on the abuses/corruption of the LF? | Jul 17 01:46 |
| schestowitz | * Why do you think it has never really been written about in the mainstream technical press? | Jul 17 01:46 |
| schestowitz | * What responses have you received from the LF or its employees? | Jul 17 01:46 |
| schestowitz | * Can you direct me to any former employees who might be able to speak about the foundation and how it treats its employees? A place with lots of money and little outside scrutiny becomes ripe for workplace abuse and there is a high turnover at the foundation, from what I've heard. | Jul 17 01:46 |
| schestowitz | I've interviewed a person involved in making Linux work well with arm chips and they described a situation where Intel has an inside track and Linux isn't a fair playing field. Do you think this is the right way to expose the corruption -- pay to code -- system there? Intel vs. arm? | Jul 17 01:46 |
| schestowitz | I'm eager to tell this story -- it really speaks to the way the digital world works and look forward to getting your thoughts and suggestions." | Jul 17 01:46 |

| schestowitz | Maybe his focus should be on making the cloud more secure, you know Chinese hackers worming their way in to hack the US government and all. Sort of a black eye for MS since we fought so hard to win the US gov bidding wars for cloud services. | Jul 17 11:13 |

| -TechBytesBot/#techbytes-ipkitten.blogspot.com | New EBA referral: When is prior use of a product excluded from the prior art for lack of enablement? - The IPKat | Jul 17 17:52 | |
| schestowitz | "So my argument is that, in a novelty analysis, the "enablement" criterion only rears its head when you assess, under Art. 54(1), whether prior art <b>information</b> is sufficient to allow the skilled person to carry out a method or to create a product that falls within the terms of the claim.<br /><br />So if the prior art under Art. 54(2) includes not only information that was made available to the public but also products | Jul 17 17:52 |
| schestowitz | that were made available to the public, then "enablement" plays a role for information but not for products. A prior-art product already is a product, and under Art. 54(1) you just need to verify whether the product factually satisfies the limitations listed in the claim. Under Art. 54(2), the only question is whether the product was "made available", which is the case if it was put on sale (even if nobody ever bough | Jul 17 17:52 |
| schestowitz | t it).<br /><br />Ultimately patent law is not about words but about the processes and objects that are protected. A claim outlines a collection of such processes and objects, and if one of them is in the prior art, then the claim is not new. A prior-art document is just words, but it makes available to the public the products and objects which the skilled person obtains by following the instructions given in the document. Here is where | Jul 17 17:52 |
| schestowitz | one naturally needs enablement." | Jul 17 17:52 |
