Empirical Testing: Challenges and Benefits
In the previous posts we discussed the possibility of requiring applicants to prove that practitioners of the relevant art can, aided by the application, solve a problem that they could not solve without it. What are the challenges in implementing such an enterprise, and what do we get in return?
Naturally the first complaint will come from applicants: we will have to pay for building the object we want a monopoly on? That's expensive! It takes a long time! It might not work!
Having been on the other side - developing products that take a lot of money and a long time, and might not work - for the last few decades, I don't have a lot of sympathy for this position. As we noted previously, only about 10% of US applications these days are owned by individuals, the remainder being assigned to corporations or other organizations. Corporate filers who are filing to protect their product line have the resources to build what they patent. Corporate filers who don't are probably Non-Practicing Entities (trolls), and should be expunged from the system in any case. Individual filers who don't have the resources to practice the invention they claim to have conceived can't demonstrate that they've actually enabled anyone else to do so. In effect, they are now required to find a partner with sufficient resources - which they needed to do anyway to get anything out of their patent, unless their strategy was to sue people who have independently developed what they claim to own, a reprehensible position society need not support.
A more serious objection is raised when one asks how to actually proceed with a test. Many real products require access to specialized resources, in some cases not easily reproduced. For example, an application dealing with semiconductor processing (the techniques used to make an integrated circuit wafer) may require modifications to a process step. Semiconductor fabrication factories ("fabs") cost hundreds of millions of dollars to set up and more millions to run, and do not make modifications to their processes for one customer, as this can put other customer's products at risk. An applicant who is an employee of such a fab may have the ability to test enablement - but they already know what the invention is and can't test obviousness. And if the test is conducted in the applicant's facility, they can provide numerous resources for enablement that are not disclosed in the application and not available to skilled people elsewhere, allowing them to appear to pass the test while not disclosing important information. Similarly, an algorithm might require specialized code libraries that are not publicly available; a drug might need unique catalysts or analytical capabilities.
But the problem here is more apparent than real. The false assumption that everyone ought to be granted monopolies, in the absence of any demonstration that they are deserved, is the difficulty. The result of imposing an empirical test requirement in the above circumstances is that filings cannot be made for ideas whose practicality cannot be demonstrated without an applicant's specialized resources. In business terms, we have just defined the situation where competitive advantage is mainly obtained from internally-developed or acquired resources not readily available to competitors or the public. Rights to exclude are irrelevant to the business and thus not needed by society. Typically such resources become available with the passing of time (and the competitive advantage of early vertically-integrated players is eroded). Empirical testing becomes possible just when it becomes necessary.
A more fundamental challenge is to ensure that both obviousness and enablement tests are not contaminated by the applicants. Testing should ideally proceed using resources that are independent from those available in the applicant's organization, and with no personal contact between the applicants or their representatives and the people performing the test. Further, the folks performing the tests should be able to act independently of their client's perceived interest. In the iterated-prisoner's-dilemma world of real business, where people deal with each other repeatedly, a firm may be tempted to always be stupid about invention and brilliant about enablement. The only way to avoid this result is to allow both applicants and competitors to fund the tests, and forbid their identity to be revealed. In this case, the performing person or firm doesn't know which side they are working for, and thus has no incentive to taint the results.
Another subtle issue is that in the event that the test is performed when the relevant patent application has been published, how are the testers to be prevented from accessing the application or patent during the obviousness test, while still having access to other relevant art? It seems necessary to implement a search engine that excludes the patent or application under examination, and any continuations [1] thereof. That's not very hard. However, the persons performing the test must agree to avoid the use of general-purpose patent search engines, so they don't get the patent before they are supposed to. That's harder: now we're dealing with human nature rather than code. A successful implementation will require procedures that do not impede research but also don't give away the answer, and the procedures may work better in some areas of art than in others. It's also possible the procedures will be different for e.g. a drug for human consumption and an embedded software program.
Finally, even if the testing is conducted in an ethical and thoughtful fashion, the results may be unintelligible, not just to a lay jury and judge but even to experts in the field. Engineers generally don't write well. That's why you probably need the people involved to provide testimony, so that the mysterious parts have some hope of explanation. (Not that a deposition is the best environment to get clarity - but it's what we've got.)
We can conclude that considerable thought, and some experimentation, will be needed to produce a useful implementation of empirical testing. And that's in addition to the need for legislation and international agreements. I told you it would get harder, not easier, as we progressed.
The great benefit of empirical testing is the stripping out of crap. In the absence of reference to experiment, human activities become the proverbial counting-angels-on-the-head-of-a-pin silliness. That's what the modern patent system is. Testing exposes plausible but false assertions in a system whose assumptions are today never challenged. Instead of unending silly arguments about what is obvious and what isn't, we have a factual examination of whether a bunch of folks came up with the "invention" after ten minutes of brainstorming, or worked for six months and never thought of anything like it. Instead of trivializing the hard part of innovation - getting an idea to actually work - we see if the supposed revelations of the specification produce a working model or a catastrophe. Litigation will still be an exercise in rationalization, but at least judge and jury will have anchors in reality they can use to constrain the fantasies of the competing parties.
The requirement for testing will also greatly reduce the number of granted patents that are likely to be the subjects of litigation. Most patents will simply be abandoned as not worth testing. Many others will be found obvious in testing, or fail enablement, causing their owners to abandon the patent, or at least to avoid litigating with it.
A secondary if narrower benefit is an opportunity for useful employment for people in any field in which patents are sought. As an engineer, I am, of course, lobbying for my folks here, though if the regime of applicability of patents continues to increase, other groups benefit, too. Why should the system only employ attorneys and patent agents? An empirical test regime would create an opportunity for people and consulting firms to make a living while (hopefully) adding value for society.
Finally, in making public the results of development work funded by would-be monopolists, we do what the system is supposed to do but often doesn't: we show folks exactly how to practice the supposed invention, and thus ensure that an invention that is enabled actually adds to our knowledge of how to do useful things.
And that's only the second-most insanely audacious proposal. More next time.
1: A continuation is a patent application that uses the same specification as an earlier application, but has a different set of claims. A continuation-in-part adds new material to an earlier specification, and has additional claims.

Claimed Monopolies Over 'Running A Game of Skill Tournament'
How sill can patents get? This silly:

Supreme Court Agrees To Once Again Tackle The Issue of What Can be Patentable
In what could be interpreted as a tacit admission that their previous ruling in Bilski last year was about as clear as mud, the Supreme Court has decided to take up another case concerning the validity of a patent claim "that covers observed correlations between blood test results and patient health, so that the claim effectively preempts all uses of the naturally occurring correlations, simply because well-known methods used to administer prescription drugs and test blood may involve 'transformations' of body chemistry."
This is another case that will be closely watched.
The full case name: Mayo Collaborative Services v. Prometheus Laboratories, Inc.

The Next Important Legal Phase In The Gene Patenting Case
Andrew Cohen over at the Atlantic has a good primer on the important argument taking place this week at the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals:
In a closely-watched oral argument Monday at a federal courthouse in Washington, the core questions of the case read like scripts from a college philosophy exam: are isolated human genes and the subsequent comparisons of their sequences patentable? Can one company own a monopoly on such genes without violating the rights of others? They are multi-billion dollar questions, the judicially-sanctioned answers to which will have enormous ramifications for the worlds of medicine, science, law, business, politics and religion.

US Government says genes should not be patented
Yesterday's New York Times writes that the US Government has filed a brief stating that genes should not be eligible for patents. The arguments is that gene are part of nature and that extracting them without altering them does not change anything to their nature, much like when coal is extracted from the earth.
The brief seems to be a negotiated outcome among several federal agencies. The US patent office has not signed it.

Paul Allen Files Patent Lawsuits Against The Entire Web (Except for Microsoft )
Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen has filed a patent lawsuit that is breathtaking in scope - even by the ridiculous standards of modern patent claims. Defendants include Google, Apple, Yahoo, Netflix, Facebook, AOL, eBay, Youtube, Office Depot, OfficeMax and Staples. He alleges the companies violated patents owned by his now-defunct idea lab Interval Research.
As Wired reports:
The four patents at issue allegedly cover basics of online commerce, including recommending products to a user based on what they are currently looking at, and allowing readers of a news story to see other stories based on the current one. Two other patents relate to showing other information on a web page, such as news updates or stock quotes.
Obviously, the less-than-clarifying Bilski decision from the Supreme Court isn't deterring him.

Bilski Decision Watch (The Final Stretch?)
Unless the Supreme Court agrees to hold the Bilski patent case over until the next term and have the case re-argued (an almost inconceivable possibility since Justice Stevens is retiring at the end of this term), the Bilski patent case will be handed down on Monday, June 28th.
Even the most ardent defenders of the current patent regime expect the Court to strike down "business method" patents. The big question will be if the Court goes even farther and delivers a broader decision affecting software patents and other controversial forms of patent monopolies.
Stay tuned...

More Predictions That The Supreme Court will Rule Bilski's Claim Unpatentable
Read all about it here:
The Bilski case will be issued within 6 weeks time at most (when the Court ends its session).
I'm doubling down on my earlier prediction that Justice Stevens will be writing the majority opinion - hopefully giving a memorable, final shot across the bow to our broken patent system before he retires.

A train dragged an unoccupied pickup truck for a about mile after hitting it early Sunday in Waterloo, according to the DeKalb County Sheriff's Department.
For an unknown reason, the truck, a 1998 Dodge Dakota, was sitting on the tracks about 385 feet west of the Center Street crossing.
A westbound Norfolk Southern mail train struck the truck about 4 a.m. and took about a mile to come to a stop.
No one was inside the truck that was owned by an Auburn man, and no injuries were reported.
The crash caused an estimated $200,000 in damage to the train and tracks. The truck was totaled.
Investigators are trying to figure out why the truck was left on the tracks.

McGill-Queen's University Press Joanna R. Quinn - Reconciliation(s): Transitional Justice in Postconflict Societies (Studies in Nationalism and Ethnic Conflict)
The transformation of conflict and post-conflict societies through transitional justice is now recognized as vital to the process of peace-building, with mechanisms such as trials, truth commissions, and apologies seen as essential for effecting societal change. It is widely argued that 'reconciliation' is a key element of this process, yet both scholars and practitioners are unclear as to what the concept is or how the process works. "Reconciliation(s)" considers the definition of the concept of reconciliation itself, focusing on the definitional dialogue that arises from the attempts to situate reconciliation within a theoretical and analytical framework. Contributing authors champion competing definitions, but all agree that it plays an important role in building relationships of trust and cohesion. The essays in this book also consider the nature and utility of reconciliation in a number of contexts, evaluating both its function and efficacy.

Peter Lang AG, Internationaler Verlag der Wissenschaften Jennifer FitzGerald - Helen Waddell and Maude Clarke: Irishwomen, Friends and Scholars
As women's university participation expanded rapidly in the first decade of the twentieth century, two close friends at Queen's University Belfast nursed scholarly ambitions. Helen Waddell, budding feminist literary critic, and Maude Clarke, future Irish historian, were to become famous medievalists. Waddell's progress was stymied by her stepmother's insistence on family duty and by academic misogyny; Clarke's father, in contrast, helped to clear her way. This joint biography intertwines the story of their friendship with their modern education, their shifting research interests and the obstacles and opportunities that faced them as women seeking academic careers. It traces Waddell's evolution into an independent scholar, creative writer and translator of medieval Latin, and Clarke's career as an influential Oxford don, training a generation of high-achieving women academics. The book also reproduces the surviving chapters of Helen Waddell's 'Woman in the Drama before Shakespeare' (1912-1919), an example of early feminist literary criticism, and Maude Clarke's searching, self-reflective Historiographical Notes' (c.1930).
Integrity Music Nathan Jess - Love Stands Forever
From the up and coming singer/songwriter, Nathan Jess, comes his first solo album packed with new worship sounds. Inspiring to the likes of All Sons and Daughter and John Mark McMillan, Nathan has captured beauty in the stillness and life in the songs. Nathan has been touring extensively in recent months and will continue this year by supporting Ben Cantelon, Rend Collective Experiment and playing live at Big Church Day Out. The album also includes co-writes with Nick Herbert, Rend Collective's Chris Llewellyn and Worship Central's Luke Hellebronth. Nathan Jess: 'My approach doesn't sit within the established generic worship mould,' explains Nathan Jess - correctly, as it turns out. For the twentysomething worship writer/leader from Northern Ireland, the 'approach' as he calls it is powerfully eclectic. To listen to a Nathan Jess song is to sit in the presence of a close friend you've never met before. His appeal is personal, universal and full of passion and truth. The story so far is simple enough. Nathan studied music at his local university - Queens, Belfast. The strong emphasis on composition suited Nathan, and upon graduating in July 2010 he was ready to take up a full time role leading worship, writing songs and more. The opportunity to support Casting Crowns when they played in Belfast in the following November turned out to be significant, as Kingsway staff heard Nathan play one of his most noticeable songs - 'I Am Redeemed'. A month earlier the song had featured on an independent film project, but it was not until July 2011 that he finally signed to Kingsway. Nathan since has been involved with extensive touring and this year with support Ben Cantelon, Rend Collective Experiment and perform at the Big Church Day Out.

It appears that in our media culture, getting caught saying something racist is worse than actually carrying out acts of racial discrimination.
That's certainly true for attorney and Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling.
Over the weekend, someone leaked a tape to the website TMZ of a man who is allegedly Sterling saying a bunch of racist things. When TMZ published the tapes, the Internet, the mainstream media, and even President Barack Obama exploded in outrage.
"It bothers me that you want to broadcast that you're associating with black people," the man identified as Sterling says to V. Stiviano, apparently his mixed-race girlfriend. "Do you have to?"
It's correct to condemn what Sterling allegedly said on those tapes, but he has a long and well-documented reputation as a racist. The immediate furor and calls for his resignation because of the tapes had KTTH host Ben Shapiro wondering why the media did not dispose of Sterling – who is apparently a Democrat – years ago.
"People are more outraged over thought crime than actual crime. What people think garners more weight with the media than actually doing something wrong or evil," Shapiro said.
Here's evil: In 2006, Sterling paid the federal government $2.73 million to settle a housing discrimination lawsuit. Among other accusations, Sterling would not let blacks live in his housing developments in Beverly Hills, and said that blacks "smell and attract vermin." Sterling is worth $1.9 billion.
In 2009, storied basketball player and then-Clippers executive Elgin Baylor, who is black, sued Sterling for race and age discrimination. Among other accusations, Baylor's suit said that Sterling was willing to pay a white head coach $22 million per year, but had frozen Baylor's pay at $350,000 for nearly a decade.
Throughout it all, there was no media uproar, no calls for Sterling's resignation, and the NBA allowed him to remain owner of the Clippers.
Host David Boze characterized Sterling as "sleazy" – an accusation backed by a 1996 sexual harassment lawsuit, and his own statements about paying women for sex.
Boze was also upset that Cliven Bundy – caught on tape last week making racist comments about blacks being better off under slavery – was automatically identified as a Republican, but Sterling wasn't identified as a Democrat. Sterling has been a donor to Democratic causes in the past.
"When people do evil things it matters to identify them as Republicans, but if they do an evil thing, it doesn't matter enough to identify them as Democrats," Boze said.
Host Michael Medved condemned Sterling as a "terrible" person, but said Sterling and Bundy are not comparable since Sterling was taped surreptitiously, and Bundy was talking to a reporter from the New York Times.
"It's taken Cliven Bundy out of the focus. What I love is people trying to compare Cliven to Sterling. Sterling is a billionaire. Cliven Bundy is a relatively modest rancher. The whole idea that these two are comparable [is wrong]" Medved said.

TF: Revelation and Dust by DRGIII Review Thread (Spoilers!)

Re: TF: Revelation and Dust by DRGIII Review Thread (Spoilers!)
I could only go with average I'm afraid and it might have been less until the twists (well the Prophet related twists anyway - the other one wasn't a shock) at the end.
Couldn't get anywhere with the orb experience Kira story - maybe depending on the ending it might get some value in retrospect but it was a fairly standard, generic even, story of resistance to opression and having read a few better written books lately which touched upon local resistance movements during the second world war this was just too bland for me to care.
The DS9 story just felt a bit too familiar - big event happening and a lot of character work leading up to the latest disaster. The last books had the same structure and all this did was make the DS9 crew look fairly incompetent.
It was great to see more catch up with the DS9 characters particularly Ro but the new command staff are still essentially blank slates and others are somewhat out of focus - what's going on with Nog - does he have a girlfriend or life of any kind, does he resent being under O'Brien again given his rank, anything would be nice. Also Sarina Douglas is still a complete personality black hole - she's no longer the super woman plot device she was in Zero Sum Game but it's been replaced with nothing.
As a lot of this seemed to be set up for the rest of the series so maybe I'll think better of this when we see how everything plays out but at the moment this was a real disappointment.

Forget Kona.
Forget Clearwater.
And forget Roth, instead think College Station, Texas as the home to one of the hardest iron distance triathlons.
Every year our longtime friend Brett Blanker (from the popular podcast Zen and the Art of Triathlon ) takes on the ultimate triathlon challenge in College Station, Texas...a self-supported Iron distance triathlon.
Brett calls it Iron Baby as a tribute to his son.
And every year we're always amazed that somebody would not only do a iron distance race on their own, but do it without the help of aid stations, volunteers, changing tents and thousands of other athletes to help shorten the day.
You can follow Brett's progress today live on his web site HERE .
Last time we checked Brett had completed the swim and was moving on to the bike.
Go ZEN!

Good - They changed my oil, quickly and, hopefully, efficiently. Horrible - They tried to tell me I needed a complete cleaning of the fuel injection system because of a dirty air filter.How about NO!…
I brought my car there to do a simple muffler change. It ended up costing me almost $600. I brought it back 3 weeks later because the noise was still loud. The guy tried to get me to replace the entire exhaust system for $2000 by telling me that it wouldn't pass inspection. I took the car to get inspected the same day, and it passed. It's been driving fine two months later now. I thought that...

Freedom of expression
You're right. Copyright is wrong.
It is assumed that everyone who buys a cheap illegally-copied ("pirated") copy of music or software CD would actually buy
the costly 'official' version. Links have been made by piracy and terrorism, which are actually quite ludicrous. 'Intellectual property' is used as a term, instead of 'creative expression'. When something is called property, we are stealing, poaching and pirating. Instead of what we should be really see it as being -- sharing, creating and enhancing cultural products.

DEFINITION of 'Judicial Foreclosure'
Foreclosure proceedings in which a mortgage lacks the power of sale clause. In such an instance, many states require the foreclosure to be processed through the state's courts. If the court confirms that the debt is in default, an auction is held for the sale of the property in order to acquire funds to repay the lender.
This differs from non-judicial foreclosures, which are processed without court intervention.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Judicial Foreclosure'
Many states require judicial foreclosure to protect equity the debtor may have in the property. Judicial foreclosure also serves to prevent "strategic disclosures" by unscrupulous lenders.
In instances where the sale of the property through the auction does not generate enough funds to repay the mortgage lender, the former homeowner will still be held liable for the remaining balance.

Russia Bans GMOs
Genetically engineered foods and ingredients harm human health. Russia banned them. Wants more organic food produced. More on this below.
GMO expert Jeffrey Smith calls GMO foods and ingredients "inherently unsafe. The GM process creates collateral damage in the plant, which can cause (disturbing) side effects."
Independent studies prove it. The American Academy of Environmental Medicine (AAEM) reported "animal studies indicat(ing) health risks associated with GM foods."
Including numerous illnesses, infertility, immune problems, accelerated aging, faulty insulin regulation, gastrointestinal abnormalities, and major organ changes.
AAEM urged physicians to tell patients to avoid GMOs. Unlike clinical drug evaluations, none are conducted for these products.
