Sometimes it matters what order you put things in. In the Faketoshi03 opposition, I failed to notice that the problem with the patent was not just that it wasn't novel or inventive, but that it was also fatally flawed because it had been amended badly.

The Opposition Division (OD) helped out with this when they raised an objection of added matter, which in the end was enough to kill the patent. The patentee has appealed the decision and is trying to get this overturned. This will, I expect, not work.

The problem comes down to how the features of claim 1 were ordered - as set out by the OD in their decision. Feature F1.6 has to come after F1.5 because you can't provide the further blockchain transaction if you haven't first searched for it.

We argued this in the opposition and objected that

Everyone goes on about how Spirit of Eden is a masterpiece, which of course it is, but I think this is possibly even better, depending on the prevailing mood.

Seriously, I have only just realised it’s supposed to be pronounced title-ist. I’ve been reading it as tit-leist for years, thinking it was an odd name for golf things.

It looks like nChain has been trying to find ways to reduce their patent spending. In their European portfolio, 54 applications have now been dropped, mostly by simply taking no action and allowing the application to lapse, but in one case by actively withdrawing the application so they can get a 50% refund on the examination fee. They have even been dropping applications that have already been allowed, suggesting that patenting the invention was just not worth it. I wonder how much longer they can continue to fund their already granted patents and the still very large (and very expensive) portfolio of pending applications when there is no sign of any incoming licensing revenue. Will Teranode come to the rescue when it finally arrives? Who knows, but we'll be watching with interest.

I’ve had this song going round in my head for the past couple of days for some reason. If you’re not familiar with her work, have a listen. This is one of her very best.

Not that it matters now, but the final clue was going to be the following:

As time, the truth will bring
-
The larp's tongue, it will sing.

I am not material essences seven;
-
I am indeed the knowing and eternal bliss.

One of my followers will definitely get this straight away.

I have now provided clues for all 12 words. If you can figure out all 12, well done. You will, however, find that they are not in the correct order. I will provide a final clue that will tell you what the order should be. My conversation with @Avi Burra tomorrow will probably tell you what I have in mind.

In the meantime, if you think you have the correct words, send me a DM and I'll tell you whether or not you are correct.

I am aware that there is a certain degree of ambiguity in the clues. That is, however, all part of the fun.
