UPC is Coming, It's Coming!!!

Eye Pee (IP) or Eye Roll?

Eye Roll: UPC



Summary: Team UPC and its enablers have been lying to us for almost a decade and a half; media too is a casualty because it played along with those lies

OK, so the title is a tad misleading. It's actually satirical. It's always worth going back if only to browse the statements made by Benoît Battistelli's EPO, the UK-IPO, various Team UPC parties and publications that lobby for UPC under the guise of 'journalism'...



Later on when they get all flabbergasted they ask, "why do people refuse to trust the media???"

"This isn't helping 'unitary' anything (or unison, or union, or unity); it is seeding discord and distrust; it's all for litigation giants and patent trolls (at the expense of European citizens and businesses)."Well, we know what to tell them. When the business model is raising money from litigation companies to do their bidding and spread their propaganda this is where we end up. Hundreds if not thousands of misleading articles out there, still all over the Web. Of course it's not helping that management of the European Patent Office bribes scholars, bribes the media and even blackmails the media. We're told to expect those sorts of things in Russia or China, but this is happening in the 'finer' parts of the very 'fine' Bavaria. Why aren't EU officials doing something to stop this inane agenda? This isn't helping 'unitary' anything (or unison, or union, or unity); it is seeding discord and distrust; it's all for litigation giants and patent trolls (at the expense of European citizens and businesses). Read any of the 21 new comments here; even people in the patent business have grown worried over this... and Team UPC does not speak for them all.
