Coronavirus update - NO MORE RESTRICTIONS

Re: Coronavirus update

Patents can be declared void (I think by the government) for this type of situation.

There's a big difference between declaring a patent void and trying to copy a design, to being handed the entire design history file of a product and their manufacturing information. If they just cancel any patents you would then have to design and verify nthat design which would probably take a long time.

It would be shocking if a G7 nation couldn't undertake this task and no, man didn't land on the moon

Clearly they did.

And there's no way we get a company manufacturing new medical devices in weeks.

My dad’s funeral tomorrow. We have had to cancel the wake in the local pub. I never thought it would come to this. This has been a dreadful year and it’s still only March.

I'll take your word on that, I was loosely listening to a radio discussion this morning and the guest, cannot remember his name suggested something along the lines of, that patents could be discounted in these times of emergencies for manufacturers to step in and manufacture, like a war time type of thing

Sorry to hear that Pearcey, that’s awful.

I don't think that the patents are declared void, as such. The Patent-owner still retains the IP rights even if the government steps in to use it.

Re: Coronavirus update

Yeah the only way it would feasibly work is if a company is prepared to sell their design and let you copy their production line. Even then the supply chain is likely to be difficult, and the more you change from the existing state the more work it is, unless they are suggesting we seriously cut some corners.
But we are talking months and months at the minimum. We could need these in weeks if the worst forecasts are correct.

totally agree in terms of time we need to cut corners but I,m sure Bojo and his advisers are working on that right now cutting through the red tape of regulations in these serious times . We were looking at medical device products today at lunchtime and looking at the products we think the automotive companys would be best to use for assembly . they have some very clever Manufacturing Engineers both in manual and automated processes . I notice the Vauxhall factories are shutting temporary today for a month or two . won't be a problem finding the people with the right skills that's for sure

Not a problem. By the way, there's one anomaly in the world of Copyright in this country - in that the Copyright, which otherwise expires after a certain time period (and depending on a few factors as to the exact duration period), of Peter Pan is deemed never to expire and that the royalties continue being paid to Great Ormond Street Hospital.

The copyright of Peter Pan in other countries has either already expired or will in the next few years.

It could be done by the patent owner simply issuing licences other parties. Some IP owners don't even have a production line themselves and earn all their income from licensing.

Re: Coronavirus update

69 years and, 364 days ok to go out.
69 plus 365 stay in you old twat.
There's no joined up thinking.
They want retired NHS to volunteer.
****ING JOKE.

But there has to be a cutoff. Obviously.

It's like kicking off that 17 years and 364 days you can't drink
17 years plus 365 go get as shitfaced as you like

Re: Coronavirus update

They did a good job of pretending that today was all part of the plan but the report by the imperial college covid-19 response team paints a different picture.

Re: Coronavirus update

Today Wales had 17.5% of the UK new recorded cases. Overall of the 1543 UK cases Wales has 8% of the total, whilst only 5% of UK population. Why so high?

Well, about 10k Jocks coming down and boozing all weekend wouldn’t have helped.
