The quality lie

Summary: Battistelli's patent-printing bureau (EPO without quality control) keeps lying about the quality of patents by repeating the word "quality" a lot of times, including no less than twice in the summary alone (highlighted above)

He keeps granting or minting lots of monopolies as if the more the merrier (reference: Bureau of Engraving and Printing)
