Gemini version available ♊︎Ghost of Elizabeth Holmes Still Haunts EPO as Her Patents Are Used to Suppress COVID-19 Research in Europe
Summary: Elizabeth Holmes represents the incompetence at the EPO and the assault on people looking to solve the COVID-19 crisis, only to be sued over patents granted by the EPO
SIX years down the road “Elizabeth Holmes (USA)” (warning: epo.org
link) is still listed by the EPO as a finalist. Last year, or half a decade later, her patents made the headlines for being used against researchers pursuing a solution to COVID-19. They were based in France, where both Benoît Battistelli and António Campinos had come from.
We’ve often complained about European software patents, but we frequently complain about monopolies that curtail vaccine development and dissemination.
In the video above I discuss the way EPO politicised and hijacked feminism for the purpose of defending immoral practices. They’re twisting science and rewarding people in a self-serving fashion that ends up embarrassing the Office. █
