Regulatory News:
Gemalto (Euronext NL 0000400653 GTO), the world leader in digital security, today announced its collaboration with Yokosuka Telecom Research Park, Inc. (YRP), FUJITSU TEN, a leading developer of advanced safety systems, and ERTICO to launch Japan's first eCall testing facility in order to help global automakers meet the European Union's (EU) new emergency response standards. Gemalto will provide its best-in-class Cinterion® Machine-to-Machine (M2M) automotive modules and Machine Identification Modules (MIMs) technologies to enable communications and GPS positioning for all trial scenarios. It is the first eCall facility outside Europe, allowing Japanese automakers to locally test solutions destined for the European Union.
Designed to reduce emergency response time, the "112" eCall service is a pan-European, interoperable M2M system that allows vehicles (and passengers) to automatically call for help in the case of a road incident. The FUJITSU TEN and YRP test bed features In Vehicle System (IVS) units that leverage eCall-compliant Gemalto technology already proven successful in Europe and compliant with European test cases. As air bags or other in-vehicle sensors are triggered, a Gemalto automotive grade MIM instantly establishes a secure network connection and a Cinterion automotive M2M module initiates a standardized "112" voice call with the nearest emergency call center. The system automatically sends key situation data, including exact incident location, time stamp, Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and more, to emergency operators who dispatch appropriate services in real time. The solution can be activated manually by passengers when needed. Trials are very much facilitated by this testing center, Japan's only exclusive eCall 2G cellular network, which simulates European wireless networks.
"Gemalto, an ERTICO Partner, has been instrumental in supporting the YRP test center and enabling pre-deployment of European Union '112' eCall solutions across Europe," said Hermann Meyer, CEO ERTICO - ITS Europe. "Gemalto's expertise and advanced technology is helping the entire automotive supply chain meet the requirement to equip all new EU passenger cars and light commercial vehicles with eCall capability by 2015."
"By enabling local testing of eCall technology, Gemalto and its partners are streamlining manufacturing and helping global automakers achieve significant time and cost efficiencies," said Marcel Visser, VP Automotive at Gemalto. "Gemalto's leading-edge modules and MIMs are ISO/TS 16949 certified to help car manufacturers meet strict industry requirements for quality and traceability throughout the life of a vehicle. We are proud of our contribution to road safety, and to people's daily life using digital security."

The definition of IoT is not new, in fact it's been around for over a decade. What has changed is the public's awareness that the technology we use on a daily basis has caught up on the vision of an always on, always connected world. If you look into the details of what comprises the IoT, you'll see that it includes everything from cloud computing, Big Data analytics, "Things," Web communication, applications, network, storage, etc. It is essentially including everything connected online from hardware to software, or as we like to say, it's an Internet of many different things.

The security devil is always in the details of the attack: the ones you've endured, the ones you prepare yourself to fend off, and the ones that, you fear, will catch you completely unaware and defenseless.

Something Blue Lyrics - Elvis Presley
Review The Song (1)
(Words & music: Paul Evans / Al Byron)
Something old, the times gone by,
Something new, these tears I cry,
Something borrowed were those lips my lips knew
And that's why I'm something blue.
Something old, the vows we made,
Something new, the price I paid,
Something borrowed, love was tried but not true.
Now my life is something blue.
I guess that I had better smile
Walking behind you down the aisle,
I feel I'm walking to my doom,
I'm really not the best man in this room.
Something old, the dreams we planned,
Something new, his wedding band,
Something borrowed was the heart I gave you,
You returned it torn in two.
Something old, the dreams we planned,
Something new, his wedding band,
Something borrowed was the heart I gave you,
You returned it torn in two.
And that's why,
And that's why I'm something blue.
Recorded: 1961/03/18, first released on Pot Luck

Something for the fans | Reviewer: Elvisfan | 12/30/2007
Its been a long time since I last listen to this song, and I just listened to it again today. It was nostalgic as the unforgettable voice of a great entertainer filled the room. He sounded so lifelike. I couldn't help feeling that in some way, the song bears a similarity to Elvis' life. He had everything, but in the end, happiness eluded him. But there will always be a place in my heart for Elvis.

Not sure about anyone else, but I have no clue what you are going on about.
hi i have that odd feeling that i have did something wrong
so before 3-4 years i'd get two items one crafted and one form Kazzak
http://www.wowhead.com/item=17111 and http://www.wowhead.com/item=12632
i'm a Enhancement Shami and i have some ele gear with trinks i'd made an hybrid gear half ele half Enhancement and i got in to icc 10 the thing that stroked me was 3-4k dps increase can some one tell me if it's a bug of this two items or they worked properly
thanks in advance
Not sure about anyone else, but I have no clue what you are going on about.
You'd have to actually check your combat logs to see where the source of the additional damage is coming from. Your post isn't very clear what you are asking about. Are those items in particular the ones you are using? Perhaps there is a bug and the lightning and fire damage effects from the items are scaling with spellpower when they really shouldn't. However you would actually need to look at the combat logs to find out a reason for the increased damage.
"In anything, if you want to go from just a beginner to a pro, you need a montage." /w TankSpot WTB Montage for Raiders.
Just sounds like they scale with your spellpower and have a 100% procchance. But if i get this correclty you got an decent dps increase while raiding icc? There's a +30% damage buff floating around what might cause this phenomenon

Re: Official WWE Main Event Weekly TV Show Discussion
The Miz vs. Dolph Ziggler
Before the match they both guys had an AWESOME in-ring promo with each other then they had this great match, I'm officially on the Miz wagon now, he looked fucking great here. I love these main event matches, they let guys go out with out handcuffs and go 20+ minutes to test them for the future. It allows the superstars to get a good story in the ring and can showcase what they can do. Good wrestlers can work a thirty minute match and grasp pace, in-ring storytelling, and psychology. That will help them for the future if they do get that spotlight in the Main event. *** - ***1/4 Credit who ever came up with this.
Justin Gabriel vs. Wade Barrett
This was basically a squash, which everyone knew it was gonna be so the crowd basically didn't give a FUCK!. Wade offense it still terrible and it's like he doesn't even watch his matches back to see what's working and what doesn't. Justin got some offense in and attempted to get things interested but didn't work. *
They ended the show with highlights of Raw with AJ/Dolph/Cena stuff, Damien Sandow comes onto the stage and says that Cena is a disease that must be purged from the WWE. He, on this day the twenty-first day of the eleventh month in 2012, he declares Cena the ultimate false idol. You're welcome. (So I guess me know who's gonna job to Cena next week on ME) So overall I say you watch the Dolph/Miz stuff and turn off the rest.

iphoto issues
I had a 2010 folder - inside it a folder for each month - inside each month folder - a folder for each blog post. Also in each month folder a folder for "random pictures" from the month that I wanted to keep but didn't blog. Example of my folders:
Blog Posts:
Organize something or other
Scrapbook something or other
Kids something or other
January Randomness:
February: (same thing as above - you get the picture)
Then I would set up additional folders for pictures I wanted to get developed for my kids' albums. A lot of folders, but every picture had a happy home where I could easily find it.
When I got my Mac, I transferred all of my pictures over and kept my old pictures organized in folders on my computer exactly as they were. Then I started putting all of my new pictures in iphoto. I tried to set up the same system as above using iphoto albums (which worked fine). BUT...
Here are my issues with iphoto (you may want to grab a snack) --
1) It would take me FOREVER to bring over all of my old photos and organize them this way in iphoto so I now have my photos in two different places. If I'm doing a post that includes a new photo and an old photo I have to "import" or "export" the photos so they are in the same place. It's a pain not having everything together.
2) It drives me nuts how in iphoto I can't move the pictures around unless I'm in an album. If I take 10 pictures of my spring mantle and want to choose the best one to blog, I have to put them in an album in order to move them around next to each other to make them big and compare. So I make an album, move the pictures around, compare, pick the best one, delete the rest. Problem is - the ones I deleted are only deleted in the album - not in my "photos" - so they are taking up space on my computer and I feel like I then have to go back into photos and delete them again. LAME.
3) While it's handy to have iphoto editing right inside the program, I like Photoshop much better for editing. The "enhance" which I use a lot (because I rarely have time to do any real editing!) doesn't do a quick fix as well as the "auto smart fix" in Photoshop (in my humble opinion). :) So I find myself not using the editing feature in iphoto as much.
4) When I do use Photoshop to edit or to do something like make a new blog header, I can't save what I edited/created straight to iphoto. I have to save them in a folder on my computer and then "import" them to iphoto. One more step. LAME.
5) When I make a collage in Picasa (because I love making Picasa collages - they are so easy and quick!) I again can't save them straight to iphoto. Same as above, I have to save them somewhere else and then "import" them to iphoto.
It just feels like I am creating folders anyway to do some of this other stuff and leaving iphoto to edit so I have been wondering if I should just leave iphoto altogether and keep my old folder system which seemed to be much easier for me. Plus that way all of my pictures would once again be in one happy spot!
Maybe I just don't know how to use iphoto? Maybe I can do a lot of the things I don't think I can? Maybe there's a better way to organize my pictures altogether? Maybe I need to stop eating the Cadbury Egg I just tore into?
I don't know. I'd LOVE any tips, insight, or advice. Unless you're going to tell me to stop eating my chocolate. Kindly keep that advice to yourself.
Thanks so much and have a great weekend!

Hi Erin!
okay... you have iphoto, and I rarely use the albums. When you upload all your pictures from your camera, you can move pictures around to compare by creating a new event. Just make sure that you are not currently highlighted on an existing event. Move the pictures you want to that new event.
I agree the iPhoto auto enhance isn't that great, but if you play around with the 'adjust' button, you can copy and paste the settings you like onto your photos with ease.
Also, I love the tagging feature in iphoto. I love that you can tag images by your kids names or a trip, and find them fast.
I hope this helps a bit. Try the "create an event' thing. That might be what you are looking for.
Also, feel free to call.
ps. My iPhoto is currently unorganized, so I will never want to show you. :)

I am still getting used to iPhoto. I will never ever ever go back to another PC ever again if I can help it. I love the Mac so much better.
However, I am still very "lost" when it comes to iPhoto and iMovie - so I'm planning on booking a few one-hour appointments at the Mac store so they can teach me one-on-one. I just keep thinking to myself, "there HAS to be an easier way!"
I do not use the albums, either. I just organize by events.

iPhoto is a pain! I am at the point I just don't bother. I also don't blog like you do. I just have them in the year and then sub folders for the months.
Good luck getting a better system. :)

I miss my organized folders on my PC - I got my Mac in December and sadly, my pix since them have been a mess. My Easter pix ended up in two different events. I have taken a picture and journaled in a Project Life way since 2007, (only on paper, not digital) however, I have totally slacked off since December just because iPhoto makes finding/editing my pix such a chore!
I am sure there is something I am doing wrong...because everyone else I know loves it. I totally feel your pain!

I agree with you on a lot of these points. I still do use iPhoto for all my organizing and have found a system that works for me, but I do get frustrated sometimes. I miss my PC photo organizing system and if our computer wasn't giving us issues I'd go back to that. Sorry this isn't anything helpful, just wanted to say that I share your pain:)

OOh, I know the answers to some of these! (I've used iphoto for as long as I've had a digital camera. So I can't compare it to other systems of organizing. Also, I don't blog so I don't rely on photos as much as you do).
I choose to initially look at photos in event view. iphoto automatically creates events but you can split them or merge them depending on what makes sense.
You CAN compare photos in any of the views (event/photos or albums) by clicking on the photos you want to look at (either by hitting your mouse and the shift button or your mouse and the command button) and then hitting "edit" down below. This brings all the photos up on the same screen.
You can set it up to edit in photoshop (or other software of your choice) instead of iphoto. Go to file (top left)-->preferences-->general. There's an "edit photo" section and you can change it to "edit photo with application" and then it lets you set your default application. ONce you set it to photoshop your pics will always open in photoshop to edit.
I don't know about saving from photoshop back to iphoto b.c. I'm still learning photoshop. But if you figure it out let me know!
I don't mind using the "event" view to find many of my photos but I also do make albums and then folders containing albums to further organize. So I have a folder marked "2011" and then in there I have subfolders, for example "April" and then in there I have my various albums, for example: "Easter".
Also I do use the tags (aka keywords) somewhat. You have to "turn on keywords" I then created a keyword called "scrapbook" and it has a short cut key "s". So, when my keywords are turned on I can scroll thru my pics and hit "s" every time I see one I want to scrapbook.
One of the cool features...when I'm ready to scrapbook a certain time period I will create a "smart album". I will tell it to pick all pictures that have been marked with the scrapbook keyword AND within a given date range. This is really useful when I'm trying to scrap stuff from a few years ago. I just use my smart album to filter it all for me. Once I'm done I usually delete the album since the pictures are saved elsewhere.
Hope this all makes sense!
One final thought...consider taking a (free!) class or doing one on one time at the Mac store. I did it for imovie and learned more in a one hour class than I ever would have learned on my own with weeks of trying.
Good luck!

I also feel your pain. Once upon a time I decided to organise my photos & went in and changed folder names - now I can't enlarge any of the photos that were in those albums in iphoto - just a big exclamation mark comes up when I double click!!! For a whole year of photos!!
Ditto on the "when you delete it only deletes the photo from the album so you have to manually also find the photo & delete from your computer". That is annoying.
No solutions here I'm sorry : (
- April 29, 2011 at 4:38 PM
I recommend that you try Lightroom. You can download a free 30-day trial. It is made by Adobe, the same company that makes Photoshop. It was created for professionals, but is also great for enthusiasts. I just purchased it this year and am really enjoying it. It will take a little time to learn ( they have great online tutorials) but it is so worth it! What is it? It's a program for organizing and editing your photos. It works with Photoshop, but you'll find that for most photos, it offers all you need for editing and it is so much faster than PS.
- April 30, 2011 at 10:30 PM
- Margot said...
Erin!!! I DO have a solution! I was just bemoaning the deleting problem to my husband & he knew the answer: when you delete a photo in iphoto it goes to iphoto's trash. You then choose (from the top menu): iphoto/empty trash. This moves the actual original photo files from your computer's photo folder into your computer's trash. Then you empty your computer's trash & the photo is gone. I did a test run & after that there was no trace of the photo on my computer.
Done : )

West Bromwich Albion will be hoping to move another step closer to safety by collecting what would only be their fourth home win of the season against Tottenham.
On-loan Marseille winger Morgan Amalfitano proved his worth to Albion by scoring the goal that beat Norwich City in their previous game, a result which gave the Baggies a crucial five-point cushion over the bottom three. The return of Jonas Olsson to central defence was also key to Pepe Mel's second win in charge, although with only 32 points on the board, there is still some work to do to guarantee another season of top-flight football.
Speculation continues to surround Tottenham Head Coach Tim Sherwood, whose future is under considerable doubt. However, the players could not have been accused of not playing for the 45-year-old on Monday as they put Sunderland to the sword in a game which Spurs dominated from start to finish, and recovered well to the shock of going behind. Despite that, a top-four finish still looks unlikely.
The home side are without Zoltan Gera, who picked up a hamstring injury against Norwich. James Morrison is also a slight doubt, but Billy Jones, Chris Brunt and Claudio Yacob could all return from injury.
Tottenham, who have a good record at the Hawthorns in recent seasons, could name an unchanged line-up with Etienne Capoue, Roberto Soldado, Jan Vertonghen and Kyle Walker all set to miss out once again.

|What is a community?One definition is a feeling of fellowship with others, as a result of sharing common attitudes, interests, and goals.What's the goal of circle sharing?To help you find the people in the Google+ Community with the same interests as youWhy am I sharing this circle and who are these people I am sharing with you?I am part of a circle shared today that were considered engaging community builders. I don't think it should stop there. I think part of community building is sharing other folks who are as interactive regardless of their follower counts. Those folks are not easy to find. Without sounding like I'm full of myself, you'll need someone like me with a decent following to help promote them. That's my main role in community building now. It's like being a gatekeeper. That being said, here are 100 individuals from different fields of interest who have interacted with me the previous months through comments in my posts. You should check them out. They don't have a lot of followers, but they are truly engaging. I hope someday they will in turn share you to others.-

Motorcycles (similar to toys) using old watches-
Amazing creativity to watch out
Time fades away and so the timekeepers. Keeping "watch" of every second even the best watch wears out. There are some creative minds that keep striving to put old things to remarkable "re" uses with their verve and genius. The idea of turning old watches into inventive art is one such remarkable transformation,

Rubber Band Man
Hey Google+ friends , meet the rubber band man
Garry Turner who lives in London discovered his extraordinary ability to stretch his skin when he was just 4 years old. His uncle was so impressed that he would show him off to his friends, earning Garry the title "Rubber Band Man".
Garry has a rare genetic mutation known as Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, which alters the way collagen is structured in his body. This can affect people in many different ways, but in Garry, it has given him the stretchiest skin on the planet.

Been to Smoke Daddy, Love it! Who's got the best BBQ in town?
I Love Smoke Daddy! Where else should I go for BBQ??
Although you will find some mixed reviews, Honey-1 BBQ on Western Avenue is widely considered to be the best BBQ in town.
There have been several posters ravings about how improved the BBQ is at Smoke Daddy. If I'm not mistaken, it is under new mgmt and back to it's original splendor.
I had a great slab of ribs a Chuck's last weekend. They were some of the meatiest ribs I've ever had, perfectly cooked. Definately not "jello" ribs. These had a nice chew to them.
The smoked brisket was also fantastic.
Haven't been to smokedaddy since the new management. I heard it the food has changed for the better since it was hard to get any worse. The last time I ate there it was terrible but being a bbq lover I might try it again. I cook great smokey bbq at home on my weber and it's hard to beat. And quite seriously all the local joints can't touch it. Honey 1 got good reviews but I found it to be just average. My favorite place is a little joint in Maywood called Hillary and Cooks on 17th ave. a few blocks north of the eisenhower express way. It's carryout only and if you blink you'll miss it. Real old school bbq smokey and a sauce that makes your mouth water and cheap too. The last time I was there 20 bucks got me a large tip and a full slab. Great ribs and tips straight forward nothing fancy. It's a place I use as a reference to judge bbq by and just talking about it makes me want to jump in the car and get some.
Fat Willys...by the AMC theater on Western. A major reason I need a diet...the sauce is awesome, smoked brisket sandwich is great, ribs are great as well. They deliver too. www.fatwillysribshack.com
My favorite is Hecky's, in Evanston. But I've never been to Honey-1, sounds like I need to go pronto. Western and what, and if I time it so that there is no traffic, will they hold up until I get home to Evanston?

Ranked in general order of my preference, from favorite to least favorite.
These are all barbecue places, not grilled boiled ribs places. If you want fall off the bone, try gale street inn or twin anchors or something.
I'm not hugely impressed with Chuck's. The combination of a Southern Pride and the usage of baby back instead of spare ribs doesn't do it for me.
I would refrain from going back to Heckys ever again. Sorry, but it just wasnt very good. Worst hot links ever!

"That jerkoff who wanted to buy the 5 and 9 for $24 each and then press both to a $38 buy on each and put the change on the hard 8 was a real stroke."
by T Pimp February 16, 2006
Stroke is a type of cardiovascular disease. It affects the arteries leading to and within the brain. A stroke occurs when a blood vessel that carries oxygen and nutrients to the brain is either blocked by a clot or bursts. When that happens, part of the brain cannot get the blood (and oxygen) it needs, so it starts to die.
Do you know someone who's had a stroke? Pay tribute to them

Fabulous rock band from New York. Credited as one of the major players in the early '01/'02 garage rock revival (along with the Hives and the White Stripes and to a lesser extent the Vines), they have continually improved and expanded their sound over the years. Have released 3 albums so far (Is This It, Room On Fire & First Impressions Of Earth) and look to be moving from strength to strength. Excellent to look at or listen to, they are the embodiment of "cool" and hipster-chic

A glutathione-based system for defense against carbonyl stress in Haemophilus influenzae
- Stephen P Kidd,

- Alastair G McEwan
- … show all 5 hide
adhC from Haemophilus influenzae encodes a glutathione-dependent alcohol dehydrogenase that has previously been shown to be required for protection against killing by S-nitrosoglutathione (GSNO). This group of enzymes is known in other systems to be able to utilize substrates that form adducts with glutathione, such as aldehydes.
Here, we show that expression of adhC is maximally induced under conditions of high oxygen tension as well as specifically with glucose as a carbon source. adhC could also be induced in response to formaldehyde but not GSNO. An adhC mutant was more susceptible than wild-type Haemophilus influenzae Rd KW20 to killing by various short chain aliphatic aldehydes, all of which can be generated endogenously during cell metabolism but are also produced by the host as part of the innate immune response.
These results indicate that AdhC plays a role in defense against endogenously generated reactive carbonyl electrophiles in Haemophilus influenzae and may also play a role in defense against the host innate immune system.

The Great Smoky Mountain National Park wants volunteers to work during tourist season
The Great Smoky Mountain National Park is looking for volunteers to be a source of information to visitors during peak tourist season.
Park officials are recruiting people to volunteer at least one four-hour shift a week at the Information Center at Clingmans Dome. Clingmans Dome, which is the highest point in the Smoky Mountains, is elevated to 6,300 feet.
Park officials are hoping volunteers will be able to help visitors plan future trips, provide information about trails and educate people about the high-elevation spruce-fir ecosystem at Clingman's Dome.
The volunteers, who will get training, will be needed during peak season from April 1 through Nov. 30. Anyone interested in more information or signing up to volunteer can call Florie Takaki at (828) 497-1906 or email Florie_Takakinps.gov Monday through Friday.

ARLINGTON — Younger students deserve more sports choices, Arlington school trustees agreed during a lengthy work session this week. But should the sports be tennis and soccer?Athletic Director O.J. Kemp's presentation Thursday night on expanding junior high sports choices drew more spirited discussion than the district's budget projections or employee survey results, which were also on the agenda.Current sports offerings for seventh- and eighth-graders at Arlington's 12 junior high schools include basketball, cross-country, football, track and volleyball.But more students could be involved if tennis and soccer were added, Kemp said.Trustees praised the idea of offering more choices."Everybody assumes all the money in a district goes to athletics, and it really doesn't," Trustee John Hibbs said.The athletic department's choice of the two sports was influenced by a survey of physical education students, as well as staffing, facility and cost concerns.The survey found that the sport with the highest interest was soccer, requested by 26.8 percent of respondents, followed by swimming, 21.2 percent; baseball, 14.6 percent; tennis, 11.6 percent; wrestling, 9.6 percent; golf, 6.6 percent; gymnastics, 5.6 percent; and softball, 4 percent.Trustee Tony Pompa expressed some disappointment with the athletic department's decision-making process."I wanted more information on all the programs, wanted to give you guys some feedback, but it looks like your decisions are already made," Pompa said.Board members received almost 100 emails from parents and students who want wrestling, Pompa said.Other trustee concerns included transportation issues, the time of day for tennis and soccer activities, and whether coaches should go to the students' campuses instead of having the students come to them. One trustee asked whether tennis and soccer would be equitable for students in all parts of the city.Board President Peter Baron forced discussion on the issue to a close as 11 p.m. approached, with several agenda items left unresolved."I suggest we put this on the budget and vote on it next time," he said. "Or we could spend another couple of hours talking about it then."Kemp said tennis and soccer would have boys and girls teams, with current high school coaches who would receive stipends.Tennis students would earn a half-credit of physical education per semester.Classes would take place before school from 7:30 to 8:45 a.m. every other day. Parents would drop off students at a high school, and the students would ride a district school bus back to their junior high.Tournaments would take place Saturdays.The total projected cost of the tennis program is $53,540.Soccer teams would play one game a week after school for five weeks during April and May. They would play at junior highs and high schools, and visiting teams would be bused to games. A citywide tournament would end the season.Soccer would not count as a PE credit because of the short season.The total estimated cost of the soccer program is $133,954.

The Federal Circuit has issued its long-awaited decision in Tafas v. Doll concerning the PTO's proposed continuation and claim limitation rules. The good news is that this case is far from over. I have to admit that when I previously wrote about this case and the argument, I didn't think that would be the good news.
In a 2-1 opinion written by Judge Prost, the Federal Circuit held that the PTO continuation rules are invalid as conflicting with 35 U.S.C. § 120, but reversed the district court's ruling that the claim limitation rules and the RCE limitation rules were also invalid. The court, along with a concurring opinion by Judge Bryson and a dissenting opinion by Judge Rader, makes a number of interesting statements.
Judge Prost's Opinion
First, the court agreed that the PTO does not have general substantive rule-making power. The court continues, however, by finding that the rules challenged in this case are procedural and not substantive.
[W]e conclude that the Final Rules challenged in this case are procedural. In essence, they govern the timing of and materials that must be submitted with patent applications. The Final Rules may "alter the manner in which the parties present . . . their viewpoints" to the USPTO, but they do not, on their face, "foreclose effective opportunity" to present patent applications for examination.
We do not believe that requiring applicants to raise all then-available amendments, arguments, and evidence by the second continuation application or the first RCE is so significant a burden that applicants will be effectively foreclosed from obtaining the patent rights to which they are entitled.
The court then makes some curious statements about the rules regarding filing additional continuations and RCEs.
Applicants who include in each continuation application all amendments, arguments, and evidence available at the time of filing will not be limited by Final Rule 78. Similarly, applicants who diligently present all of their amendments, arguments, and evidence as soon as possible during prosecution will be granted as many RCEs as they require.
In this instance, the court seems to be saying that the PTO will act reasonably and permit additional continuations and RCEs that applicants may need to fully protect their inventions.
One of the responses to this position that the court noted and that was raised by the district court is that the PTO, in answer to comments raised on the rules and in other public settings, has made it clear that it "intends to deny additional applications in almost all circumstances." The court ignored this concern, stating that these statements are not binding on the PTO or on any court. Applicants are free to challenge the PTO's determinations by filing lawsuits in specific circumstances (yeah, that's going to happen).
The court also made another enlightening statement when responding to concerns about Examination Support Documents (ESDs), which were part of the claim limitation rules.
We are aware that some applicants attempt to say as little as possible during prosecution so that the precise boundaries of their claims will be open to argument as competitors' products enter the market and new prior art references are found during litigation. However, we consider this practice to be a burden on the patent system, not a right that can be invoked to void the Final Rules.
Uh, could this be because every time the Federal Circuit gets the opportunity, it uses applicants' statements during prosecution against them? See, e.g., Festo.
As noted above, the court did find that the continuation limitation rule conflicts with § 120. This section sets forth the requirements for filing a continuing application that shall have the same effect as though filed on the date of the prior application. None of these requirements includes that the application not contain amendments, arguments, or evidence that could have been submitted earlier. Thus, the rule is invalid.
As to the other rules, the court found the PTO's interpretation reasonabe and granted the agency deference under Chevron.
Remand Instructions
The good news is found at the end of the court's opinion.
Because of the complexity of this case and the numerous arguments presented on appeal and before the district court, we think it is important to expressly summarize what we believe remains for the district court on remand. This opinion does not decide any of the following issues: whether any of the Final Rules, either on their face or as applied in any specific circumstances, are arbitrary and capricious; whether any of the Final Rules conflict with the Patent Act in ways not specifically addressed in this opinion; whether all USPTO rulemaking is subject to notice and comment rulemaking under 5 U.S.C. § 553; whether any of the Final Rules are impermissibly vague; and whether the Final Rules are impermissibly retroactive.
Whoa! The district court sure does have a lot of work ahead of it.
Judge Bryson's Concurrence
Judge Bryson filed a concurring opinion where he argues that whether the PTO rules are substantive or procedural is not important and not helpful to his analysis of the issues in this case. While he agrees with the court's ruling on the particular rules, he provides the PTO with instructions on how it could draft a rule that, in his opinion, would limit "serial continuations", i.e., continuations that are not co-pending with the original application.
Judge Rader's Dissent
Finally, Judge Rader wrote a vigorous dissent where he argues that he would affirm the district court on all grounds. He argues that the rules are clearly substantive because they "affect individual rights and obligations, and mark a startling change in existing law and patent policy." Although he relies on the same case as the majority opinion, he reaches a different conclusion on the test for procedural versus substantive rules.
To my eyes, this question of degree must guide this court's assessment of the substantive nature of the PTO's Final Rules.
In the remainder of his opinion, Judge Rader agrees with the district court that the rules conflict with numerous provisions of the Patent Act and should be struck down as invalid.
What's Next?
The plaintiffs in this case may request rehearing before the entire Federal Circuit. It is difficult to gauge whether the court would take the case en banc, but just on this panel, the judges were split three ways on several of the issues in the case. While the case does involve statutory interpretation, it doesn't seem likely that the Supreme Court would hear the case.
In any event, the Federal Circuit has remanded the case to the district court and provided a list of issues that must be addressed by that court. Is this list a compromise so that the Federal Circuit will not hear the case en banc at this time? Who knows?
The district court relied on the fact that the rules were substantive, and thus beyond PTO authority, when it struck them down. It didn't address the many other arguments that the plaintiffs had raised to challenge them. Presumably, the court will need to address those arguments on remand.
The short answer is: the status quo remains in effect for now. It's possible that the Obama Administration will drop this case and the new rules. If not, the district court is unlikely to lift the injunction while it continues to hear the arguments of the parties. Assuming further rulings and appeals, it could be more than a year before this is finally resolved.
