The EPO Has Officially Confirmed That Christoph Ernst Will 'Boss' (and Soon Replace) Battistelli

Mathieu Klos from Juve (photo below) got an important confirmation

Mathieu Klos‏



Summary: Now that Ernst's appointment is official (effective within a few months), it remains to be seen where he stands regarding Battistelli, the staff representation, the defunct UPC campaign and more

THE EPO never speaks to us. In fact, it blocked us from its network not because we published incorrect things but because our reporting offers 'too much' transparency -- something that Battistelli and his goons are unable to tolerate. They are incapable of introspection.



"A new comment has just said that the new (or next) Chairman of the Administrative Council "did not appear to show any particular concern for" last week's suicide in "his home country" (Germany)."We don't think that things will improve after this week's meeting at The Hague. We said so all along. A new comment has just said that the new (or next) Chairman of the Administrative Council "did not appear to show any particular concern for" last week's suicide in "his home country" (Germany).

To quote in full:

Mr Ernst is a man with a proven record of performance

Yes indeed.

It's quite telling that the strongest intervention concerning the recent suicide in Munich at yesterday's AC meeting came from the Dutch delegate ...

Mr. Ernst did not appear to show any particular concern for an incident which happened on the territory of his home country ... true to form ...


To remove any doubts about Christoph Ernst's upcoming role, Mathieu Klos‏ from Juve asked the EPO (citing Techrights) and then wrote that "@EPOorg confirms Christoph Ernst from German Ministery [sic] of Justice is new Chair of Administrativ [sic] Council..."

"In the long disciplinary proceedings against a suspended judge of the Boards of Appeal, there has been no decision. Apparently, the judge will not be re-appointed by the Administrative Council after the end of his term."Finally, to our surprise, someone else covers it. Not a single article (yet) about today's strike, except in IP Watch. Not even the EPO said anything (anywhere!)...

The article from Klos‏ is a well-informed one, as Klos‏ and a colleague have long covered EPO scandals (not puff pieces). "I noticed that SUEPO published the article," one reader told us about SUEPO, "and my guess is that it will take just a few days before translations are published."

Either way, we looked at the text of the article (we were first to cover this news) and picked out some interesting bits, namely:



Can someone out there translate the whole article for us? In case SUEPO does not publish a translation?

We shall cover the UPC in our next post, having already written about Ernst's connection to the UPC last year. Vigilance is crucial now.
