02:48 schestowitz[TR2]; "I am not at all convinced that the UPC Court of Appeals PI ruling has left open the possibility of using prosecution history as an aid for claim construction. <br /><br />When looking at Reasons 26(i), the UPC CoA made it very clear that it proceeds from the the principles in accordance with Art. 69 EPC and the Protocol on its Interpretation. In Reasons 26(ii), it added that the patent monopoly claim is not only the starting po
02:48 schestowitz[TR2]; int, but the decisive basis for determining the protective scope of the European patent, i.e. giving primacy to the claims. <br /><br />In Reasons 37, the UPC CoA considered that it did not need to address the question whether the prosecution history can be taken into account when determining the scope of protection of a European patent.<br /><br />It is not a clear rebuttal, but I would not interpret this statement as leaving the
02:48 schestowitz[TR2]; door open to the possibility of using prosecution history as an aid for claim construction. <br /><br />I would rather say that, in view of all the preceding statements, it did not want to tell off the Munich CFI and its chairman. In other word and in translation of a very well known German say: one crow doesn't peck out another's eye. <br /><br />The UPC might innovate in certain aspects, but I cannot see it as taking the file his

10:15 schestowitz[TR2]; <blockquote>
10:15 schestowitz[TR2]; <p>Essentially, Adobe sees the fees associated with its subscriptions, even the ones that are predatory, as so important to its business that it cant get rid of them without severely bruising its stock market reputation. (The drug reference is just an added quirk.) This is the risk of subscription models, and yet they show up everywhere. </p>
10:15 schestowitz[TR2]; <p> Until now, though, subscriptions have remained tied to software or content. Oh, sure, you could argue that hardware often requires supplies that need to be frequently renewed, like printer ink. But the appeal of the $10/month subscription probably looks amazing to hardware companies that often have to win consumer interest based on the product alone, then support it for years after the fact, slow

14:10 schestowitz[TR2]; <p>My early experience with the Titan wasn't a good one. The setup was rather messy, and there was a moment where I almost considered physically demolishing the device. Luckily, hard-earned and hard-spent money begets respect, and so I eschewed hardware-focused violence and went on with nerdy suffering instead, taming the laptop and its operating system to a usable state. Fast forward two lon

19:13 schestowitz[TR2]; For over 30 years, the culture of IBM has been to give up, stop competing, and sell out for cash. After pulling up all the drawbridges and abandoning the markets, the management lives on in the Armonk castle behind the moat, safe in what they believe to be their forever-kingdom (big enterprise).
19:13 schestowitz[TR2]; But you know what? It's only a matter of time before competitors breach that market as well.
