[13:48] schestowitz Either way, those awards harm some of us who fight for the cause by giving a veneer of supremacy to those who attack us. [13:48] schestowitz Fwd: Software patents in Japan [13:48] schestowitz Bastian Best [13:48] schestowitz Bastian Best [13:48] schestowitz @https://twitter.com/bastianbest [13:48] -TechBytesBot/#techbytes- ( status 400 @ https://mobile.twitter.com/bastianbest ) [13:48] schestowitz The EPO and the JPO have quite similar approaches when it comes to patenting computer-implemented inventions. But there are subtle differences, and the devil is in the details. [13:48] schestowitz I found this comparative study on computer-implemented inventions/softwarerelated inventions published by the EPO and JPO quite interesting. Maybe thats something for your weekend reading list. ● Nov 26 [15:05] *Despatche (~desp@u3xy9z2ifjzci.irc) has joined #techbytes ● Nov 26 [16:20] *psydroid2 has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) [16:30] *psydroid2 (~psydroid@cqggrmwgu7gji.irc) has joined #techbytes [16:39] *psydroid2 has quit (connection closed) [16:40] *psydroid2 (~psydroid@cqggrmwgu7gji.irc) has joined #techbytes [16:50] *leah has quit (Quit: WeeChat 3.3) ● Nov 26 [17:07] *tech_exorcist (~tech_exorcist@hbb3pgaksxfbq.irc) has joined #techbytes ● Nov 26 [18:09] *rianne has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) [18:09] *liberty_box has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) [18:12] *rianne (~rianne@62vhapicsw4ds.irc) has joined #techbytes [18:13] *liberty_box (~liberty@62vhapicsw4ds.irc) has joined #techbytes [18:19] *DaemonFC (~daemonfc@zgk86ipra9utw.irc) has joined #techbytes [18:21] *rianne has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) [18:21] *rianne (~rianne@62vhapicsw4ds.irc) has joined #techbytes [18:23] *liberty_box has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) [18:23] *rianne has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) [18:24] *rianne (~rianne@62vhapicsw4ds.irc) has joined #techbytes [18:26] *liberty_box (~liberty@62vhapicsw4ds.irc) has joined #techbytes [18:32] *rianne has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) [18:33] *liberty_box has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) [18:34] *rianne (~rianne@62vhapicsw4ds.irc) has joined #techbytes [18:35] *liberty_box (~liberty@62vhapicsw4ds.irc) has joined #techbytes [18:49] *rianne has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) [18:49] *liberty_box has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) [18:52] *rianne (~rianne@62vhapicsw4ds.irc) has joined #techbytes [18:53] *liberty_box (~liberty@62vhapicsw4ds.irc) has joined #techbytes ● Nov 26 [19:11] *rianne has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) [19:12] *rianne (~rianne@62vhapicsw4ds.irc) has joined #techbytes [19:19] *rianne has quit (Quit: Konversation terminated!)
