01:55 -TechBytesBot/#techbytes-ipkitten.blogspot.com | Board of Appeal finds no legal basis for the requirement to amend the description in line with the claims (T 1989/18) - The IPKat
01:55 schestowitz; "
01:55 schestowitz; Thanks for sharing your thoughts. As to your first point, an applicant submits the application with the belief that the invention as described is patentable. If the examining body of competent jurisdiction disagrees, the applicant has an opportunity to amend the claims until they are found to be allowable, or to appeal the refusal. However, any "concession" made by the applicant to obtain a patent is not admission that the allowed claims define the
01:55 schestowitz; broadest scope of the invention. Rather, it is a compromise offered in exchange for a grant of IP rights (better to get something than to get nothing). Thus, it is not necessarily a contradiction for the description of the invention to be broader than the allowed claims if one (correctly) presumes that the claims, and not the description, define the scope of protection of the granted patent. As long as the scope of the claims are clear (as required
01:55 schestowitz; by the EPC), then any description broader than the claims can be understood to be beyond the scope of the patent rights and not confused as to being some alternative interpretation of those rights (that is what the claims are for).
01:55 schestowitz; The problem with the Gold Standard (other than the tension between Art 84 and Art 123(2)) is that there is no clear requirement for amending the description. From a practical standpoint, most patents are shelved. The few that are asserted are likely to have sufficient value that the parties (either on their own or through the courts) can spend the time and money to litigate what the patent covers and what it doesn't. This acknowledges that the
01:55 schestowitz; patent examiner doesn't, and shouldn't, have the final word in an ex parte proceeding. While the goal of clarity is admirable, and we should want to reduce the number of bad patents that are granted, it also seems like forcing the applicant to commit to the Examiner's interpretation prior to grant is like putting the cart before the horse because patents are not self-enforcing. In the U.S., the USPTO (for better or for worse) has adopted the
01:55 schestowitz; broadest reasonable interpretation standard in an attempt to mitigate these sorts of post-grant interpretation issues. If an Examiner believes that the claims are too broad, then the Examiner should make a refusal on that basis and not, instead, force the applicant to hew to the Examiner's interpretation of what the invention is (as opposed to what aspect of the invention the applicant has agreed the claims cover).

01:56 schestowitz; ""
01:56 schestowitz; Excellent arguments, Anonymous. They reminded me of the Pemetrexed litigation, in which the courts gave the claims a wider scope of protection than their literal wording would seem to allow. In that case, an unconformed description might have been more helpful to the court than one strictly conformed to the claims after prosecution amendment. Where's the harm in everybody agreeing that if Applicants wants it, the "support" requirement of Art 84 EPC
01:56 schestowitz; can still be met even if the description remains as filed, even on into the B publication?

01:56 schestowitz; One consequence of the importation of a DoE (Doctrine of Equivalents) into the EPC is that it wipes out the ages-old maxim that what comes after and infringes would, if coming before, destroy novelty. Could it be that an unintended consequence of the arrival of the DoE is that it clears the way for descriptions to go to B publication without being conformed?

21:58 schestowitz; At the moment the majority of funding to OSI comes from sponsorships by ~50 companies, of various shape, size and form. That's something we want to change, adding more funding sources, including individuals and grants from different sorts of institutions. It will not happen overnight though, it'll take time.
21:58 schestowitz; > I welcomed you when you came to OSI. I even got flak for that.

21:58 schestowitz; We'll start new projects and programs soon. I hope we'll get judged over more concrete actions than just a blog post.
21:58 schestowitz; > Let's not inflate accusations against me, either. Straw man
21:58 schestowitz; > arguments are unhelpful.
21:58 schestowitz; I haven't accused you of anything. If you felt I have, I'm sorry: I had no intention to.
21:58 schestowitz; > GitHub is the #1 threat at the moment (I explained the reasons many
21:58 schestowitz; > times before).
21:58 schestowitz; Noted. I'll look on your site for your reasons why you consider GH the #1 threat instead of others like the efforts to destroy the Open Source Definition by shared source companies or patent-asserting behemoths openly hostile to the OSD.

21:59 schestowitz; Again, sorry this happened to you. I realized now that I mis-read your Twitter feed: your account hasn't tweeted for a while now.
21:59 schestowitz; > I prefer written communication if that's OK.
21:59 schestowitz; Sure, as you wish. Fridays are the days I dedicate to answering to community questions, one way or another is fine.
21:59 schestowitz; > Also, I'm not an enemy, mind you, I just see happening right now
21:59 schestowitz; > what happened in LF and OSDL.
21:59 schestowitz; Noted. And for the records, I don't consider you an enemy either.
21:59 schestowitz; I wish you a great 2022

23:51 schestowitz; I think we adopted a similar kind of workflow, albeit independently. All the writings I do are plain text, in Kate, later with some hypertext added. It starts with strands of thoughts/ideas, which later become articles or parts of article.
23:51 schestowitz; > Plenty of fresh stuff in the pipeline! :) I am reviewing my unfinished

23:51 schestowitz; Yes, that can only help.
23:51 schestowitz; Right now I do in-depth investigations -- and series -- into EPO and GitHub. OSI and social control media are a bump in the road; hopefully set aside soon.

23:51 schestowitz; > Presumably the "openwashing" and "greenwashing" you spoke of?
23:51 schestowitz; AFAIK, I coined the term "openwashing" about 14 years ago. I hope it enters everyone's vocabulary. It's a useful concept.
23:51 schestowitz; > Not sure what one can do about parasitical dishonest appropriation.
23:51 schestowitz; > It's built in. Also it becomes a tar pit to fight, they drag you down
23:51 schestowitz; > into distraction - which is probably the intention.
23:51 schestowitz; If you try and that fails, that says something too. Like a failing lab experiment -- that too gives you some lessons and something to write about.

23:52 schestowitz; About 15 years ago I wrote for a news site and hated the editing, which was a massive overhead, nuisance, and sometimes censorship.
23:52 schestowitz; The video are set aside to fully respect the opinion of the original.
23:52 schestowitz; > A good format is possibly to do follow up videos that address an idea

23:52 schestowitz; The videos started about a year ago. They're all 100% spontaneous, but I hopefully improve a bit over time.
