Proper French onion soup has toasted cheese floating on top of it. #PriorArt

Hackaday: US Patent Changes Promise Severe Consequences. “When someone creates a US patent, they go through a review process to stop the most blatant copies from previous patents or pre-existing work. After this, you may still have bad patents get through, which can be removed through litigation or publicly accessible methods such as Inter Partes Review (IPR). The latter of which is planned to […]

The #DigitalPurge is happening.
We have to start making backups of the US infrastructure and the US-based sources of information, like #webarchive. We better do that fast.

I am creating #PriorArt in technology here. What's happening in the US right now under #Trump #Musk #Spacekaren is nothing less than
#DigitalPurge,

Progress against patent trolls:

"#UnifiedPatents' goal is to deter predatory #patent claims, which it does through efforts like its #crowdsourced contests to identify #PriorArt that would invalidate an improperly granted patent…It has successfully challenged over 55 #NPE ["non-practicing entity" or #PatentTroll] efforts that threatened #OpenSource software."

Open source orgs strengthen alliance against patent trolls

The more successful FOSS gets, the more it becomes a target

The Register
The task of Bambu Labs (and hopefully also the #3dprinting community) is to collect so-called #PriorArt, showing that what was patented was already known and used before the patent was filed/granted. Especially in the case of a heated bed, which was filed in 2014, that seems to be quite easy to do.

Make this ediscoverable by sending an email about it, nonchalantly... For later 📨 discovery since you originated it, right?

E.G. - "Hey, sorry this X, Y, Z idea got shot down by you as 'bad'. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Then you could always circle back on your idea with some meaningful results since it was your idea, right? #PriorArt example

Turns out I can hashtag the real new logo recently given to #Twitter without having to resort to #X.

Sometimes I really love the hashtag system on #Hubzilla that lets me put all kinds of characters into hashtags.

Still, I'm waiting for #ElonMusk to sue the #XorgFoundation, maintainer of the display manager #Xorg that won't fully replace #Wayland for years to come, over the name, the logo and the domain x.org. The X.org Foundation has been around for almost 20 years under that name, and their logo is that of the #XWindowSystem which is almost 30 years old.

May #Musk go broke over pumping billions into his lawyers trying to fight against #PriorArt before he makes himself the laughing stock of the Internet even more trying to buy out a non-profit foundation in a hostile takeover.
