The UPC is Dead, Long Live the German Constitutional Court

Posted in Deception, Europe, Patents at 3:46 pm by Dr. Roy Schestowitz

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. █

    How illegal “Strike Regulations” and regressive ‘reforms’ at the EPO, empowering Benoît Battistelli to the detriment of the Rule of Law, were ushered in by António Campinos and by Portugal 5 years before Campinos took Battistelli’s seat (and power he had given himself)

    Hosting by Microsoft means subjugation or a slavery-like relationship; contrary to the current media narrative, Microsoft has long been censoring LinkedIn for China’s autocratic regime; and over at GitHub, as we shall show for months to come, there’s a war on information, a war on women, and gross violations of the law

    The EPO‘s António Campinos is an ‘Academy’ of overt nepotism; what Benoît Battistelli did mostly in France Campinos does in Spain and Portugal, severely harming the international image of these countries

  17. [Meme] Protecting European Patent Courts From EPO 'Mafia'

    With flagrant disregard for court rulings (or workarounds to dodge actual compliance) it seems clear that today's EPO management is allergic to justice and to judges; European Patents perish at unprecedented levels in national European courts and it should be kept that way

  23. The EPO’s Overseer/Overseen Collusion — Part XII: The French Connection

    The EPO‘s presidency (led by Frenchmen for nearly 15 years out of the past 18 years; Benoît Battistelli and António Campinos are both French despite their somewhat misleading surnames) is extremely unlikely to even be mildly scrutinised by the French delegates because of a web of nepotism and protectionism

  24. [Meme] Another Maladministration Meeting Comes to an End

    Did the EPO‘s overseeing body properly tackle Benoît Battistelli‘s illegal acts, authorised by that very same overseeing body? Don’t hold your breath as António Campinos continues to crack down on staff (maybe ILOAT will rule on it in 2030)

    “Education and childcare reform” [sic] is an António Campinos "reform" in the same sense regressive salary reductions are just “adjustments” (euphemism); Electronic opt-in gaffes, according to staff representatives, show that the tradition of Benoît Battistelli carries on at the Office, taking away from staff for a few corrupt officials to milk the institution to death
