Benoît Battistelli and António Campinos just "doing God's work" at the EPO

THE goal ought to be fixing the EPO, which might otherwise be abolished due to repeated failures to meet objectives and obey the EPC. It seems worthwhile to note that people who are responsible for the EPO's destruction have barely been at the Office (the President has been there for less than 3 years, whereas senior examiners did more than 30 years in some cases).

"It seems worthwhile to note that people who are responsible for the EPO's destruction have barely been at the Office (the President has been there for less than 3 years, whereas senior examiners did more than 30 years in some cases)."The way to salvage the institution would likely require some kind of fresh start. How it can be implemented remains to be seen, but diplomatic immunity is unsuitable and maybe the EU can come up with something new, which includes checks and balances, as well as prosecution for those who undermined the EPO.

Let's think positive. Humour can help. ⬆
