The UPC is Dead, Long Live the German Constitutional Court

You know IP Kat has 'jumped the dog' when it links to the "done deal" pseudo-reporting (lobbying), as it did last week



Summary: The German Constitutional Court (FCC) has received two more complaints about the UPC/A (as we correctly predicted/estimated); this means that a lot of so-called 'news' about the UPC is invalid and inaccurate, quite frankly as usual

IT IS ANOTHER dark day for Margot, Alex, Benoît, and António. Contrary to what Ms. Fröhlinger and Mr. Ramsay want us to think, the UPC is far, far from reality. Very far. Was this unexpected? No. A surprise? No. The EPO was quick to issue a ridiculous press release, but only a couple of weeks later we get the news below (external links), which relates to things we said before (internal links). The video above was done in response to months (since summer) of persistent UPC propaganda that mostly served to discredit the occupation and its true motivations, hiding behind pseudonyms to dodge accountability for lying/misleading. EPO insiders (like patent examiners) watch with concern as the litigation lobby makes a mockery of the entire system, with false promises for well over a decade and dishonest legal advice as standard.
