Violation: They don’t meet changing because their aff both allows companies flexibilities to choose + the actual patent process itself doesn't change, it’s not actually more restrictive.Topicality—they justify the aff arbitrarily doing away with words in the resolution which decks negative ground and preparation.Limits and ground - only meaningful and direct reductions are predictable in the literature—else they can defend ANY CHANGE to ipr or the effects of a different change spilling over to increase access and defend that which means i get less case turns and disads and heavily skews my prep burden—competing interps means it’s not just a question of what they do but what they justify and the norm that they have endorsed is one in which the affirmative can decide to do away with parts of the resolution at their whim which outweighs their offense on magnitude | 9/5/21 |
