Hi everyone!

Glad to have made it to the MyBB forums at last.

Looking forward to chatting to you about all things legal that come up around here.

You'll find yourself very busy around here. Welcome

Welcome. Now let's get the smalltalk out the way: How much per response? Will it be the usual per minute billing or per thread post?

Well, up until your post, no one knew what kind of law Michalson practiced. At least I didn't.

No thanks. I'll just lurk around and hope someone asks the questions I need the answers to

 

[McGuywer]

No, not quite. Michalsons is definitely up there as a smart ICT law firm. Lance and his team should be a terrific resource here.

Great first post!

I have to question the reasoning behind this... Apple vs Samsung is old news these days?

Have a look at what Nicholas Hall of our firm had to say about SIM swap fraud in this myBB post: http://mybroadband.co.za/news/secur...lity-about-sim-swap-fraud-and-money-lost.html.

Junior partners posting is acceptable too - but only if their posts contain zero grammatical mistakes.

Can we get patent trolls in SA like A Patent Troll Wants to Charge You for Emailing Your Scans! or is this just crazy USA laws?

We could have patent trolls in South Africa, but it's unlikely.

Technically, the Patents Act specifically excludes computer programs.

So, you shouldn't be able to patent something like scanning documents to PDF and emailing them.

But practically, the South African patents office doesn't scrutinise patents like in other countries.

This means that patent trolls could patent all sorts of things.

But anyone could successfully challenge the patent if it isn't novel, inventive, and doesn’t have utility.
