02:22 schestowitz[TR2]; "The present decision of the UPC has been commented in another blog.<br /><br />The patent monopoly on which the request for a PI was not opposed. <br /><br />It is interesting to note that when applying Art 69 and the protocol, the Vienna local section of the UPC read into independent claim 2 limitations which were not contained in it. <br /><br />This is in clear contradiction with a long line of case law of the boards of appeal
02:22 schestowitz[TR2]; of the EPO according to which it is not allowed to read into the claims a limitation only present in description. <br /><br />Can we see here first divergences between the case law of the UPC and of the boards of appeal of the EPO in matters of interpretation of claims? <br /><br />Independent clam 2 is silent about the minimum length of the line section downstream of the throttle. It simply claims that the diameter of the line sec
02:22 schestowitz[TR2]; tions upstream and downstream of the throttle are different. <br /><br />According to [0032] of the description, the difference in diameter is only preferable, whereas the length of the downstream line should, in order to achieve the effect of homogenisation of the milk foam, be at least be 0,5 m. It can go up to 2m, but is preferably 1,50 m. <br /><br />Something seems to have gone wrong during examination."

06:09 DaemonFC; Most of the rest of the world is fucked up worse than we are, or at least in other ways.
06:10 DaemonFC; I'd rather take my chances with "gun violence" than live in such a shitfuckinghellhole as most other English speaking countries where you can be arrested for offending people.

06:11 DaemonFC; I was talking to John today about Canada. He said the Canadian border patrol people are nice and then when you're coming back into the US, ours are really really mean.
06:11 DaemonFC; I said the Canadian ones are used to biting their tongue because it's the law.
06:11 DaemonFC; The American ones are mean because they have to deal with so many Canadians all day.
06:13 DaemonFC; Every time I see TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew in the news I start singing Suzie Q by CCR.
06:13 DaemonFC; :P

07:48 schestowitz[TR2]; <p>Law professor Dan Solove has a new article on privacy regulation. In his email to me, he writes: Ive been pondering privacy consent for more than a decade, and I think I finally made a breakthrough with this article. His mini-abstract: </p>
07:48 schestowitz[TR2]; <p> "In this Article I argue that most of the time, privacy consent is fictitious. Instead of futile efforts to try to turn privacy consent from fiction to fact, the better approach is to lean into the fictions. The law cant stop privacy consent from being a fairy tale, but the law can ensure that the story ends well. I argue that privacy consent should confer less legitimacy and p
07:48 schestowitz[TR2]; ower and that it be backstopped by a set of duties on organizations that process personal data based on consent." </p>

17:17 schestowitz[TR2]; "It seems that the Vienna LD very reasonably applies the same logic as used in the German "Spannschraube" decision - the bare meaning of the words of the claim may encompass the alleged infringing act but if read with the eyes of a skilled person in the light of the description, the words used have a particular meaning in the context of the patent."
