Again, what does a ruling from the EU Court of Justice have to do with the UK post-Brexit? Is the UK similarly removing access to ownership information that is currently available? Is it doing it due to this EU court’s ruling? Transparent o

I don’t understand your post. Is the UK bound up in this somehow post Brexit? And why shouldn’t your role as a board member of a charity be public knowledge? Do you disagree with the charity’s mission or something? Why’d you agree to serve?

The idea of going to the moon is not patentable. The implementation of Project Apollo may be patentable.

This seems to be splitting hairs on what an “idea” is. Is a patent on the use of water heated into steam to drive an engine different from the idea to use steam to drive an engine? I don’t really see where you draw the line here, and the id

So you have no examples or explanations for what “traditions” you’re talking about where ideas are not inventions or vice versa.

I’m interested in what “traditions” you’re talking about here? Honestly, it is not even clear to me what you’re talking about when you say “these” in your sentence. Certainly tradition hasn’t held that Rust memory management is an idea and

Depending on the size of the construction company, any claim made against them will just result in them shutting down and going out of business if their insurance won’t cover it. This is a pretty common occurrence in construction.

Why are you confident? Reverse the positions and imagine Twitter is the loser here and has to pay a billion dollars and legal fees to Elon. Do the shareholders each have to send in a check for the amount? Of course not; Twitter would pay it

by abduhl 4y ago
OK, and? The check doesn’t get cut to Shareholder X, it gets cut to Twitter. Then Twitter gets given to Musk. The order of operations is irrelevant to this discussion because none of this extra money over $54.20 will ever be returned to the

This is a weird take. If Twitter wins then Elon Musk owns Twitter. Who exactly do you think Elon would be paying the billion dollar clause and legal fees to? It’s Twitter, it’s (effectively) his, it’s himself. Shareholders get $54.20. Elon

Small point: the courts didn’t decide this in the 1960s, the legislature did with the Civil Rights Act. The courts enforced it. The courts don’t (shouldn’t) determine what is in the public’s interest, the legislature (aka the people) does.
