I read your blog. It was interesting to learn about the
situation on the
other side of the Atlantic, and a
worthwhile read.
I have two things to
say...
1.) Your post needs some kind of feedback mechanism so
people
can at least give you feedback, if not comment.
2.) Lack of proof
reading. I found one error and one case
of unfortunate choice of wording,
without even trying.
When any war is to be studied, a main
question is to know exactly which weapons are used to cause
damages. Here, we
are going to focus on a patent hold
by Apple...
I
think you mean a patent held by Apple
Since the EPO
would grant unitary patents,
just as it currently grants bundles of national
patents, one
can wonder whether there would be any actual change with the
unitary patent/UPC project. The answer is unfortunately and
undoubtedly
positive. For several reasons, the
situation with regard to the damages
caused by software
patents in Europe would be worse, with several degrees of
magnitude.
While grammatically valid, I think an answer
that is both
"unfortunate" and will result in a "worse" situation should
not
be called "positive". There has got to be a better way.
3.) (Did I say
only two?) It would be interesting to see
how you would update that discussion
in light of this latest
news that the patent has been rejected by the USPTO. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
