Get Ready for a Torrent of EPO Propaganda

Summary: The media campaign of the EPO is about to kick off, whatever its nature may be (the strategy), with the intention of diverting attention away from kangaroo courts

LAST night we published part 18 of an ongoing series; it was about the chiefs of the EPO "Promoting the Illusion of Peace and Haar-mony" (nice delusion if one can sell it). This morning I decided to add some personal thoughts on it, seeing that Managing IP is doing fluff instead of journalism. This is a "very, very major scandal," as we noted in Daily Links last night, "but the rascals who run this EPO propaganda site, Managing IP, run "sponsored content" about it, diluting the signal (about the scandal). Managing Intellectual Property quit being about anything that even remotely resembles journalism because there's more money in being a deceiving think tank and misleading rag than in reporting news of importance. In the coming days EPO management will bombard the media with lies and spam to distract from the absolutely horrific things happening inside the EPO, inc. stacked/kangaroo courts."

"We'll watch very closely how they plan to distract observers, including internal (staff)."In the video above I name some of the rags we expect to see playing along with EPO management, bar WIPR and a few other publishers that mostly report/relay EPO fluff. I allude to this comments cluster in Kluwer Patent Blog. Not too long ago (a few years back) Barney Dixon and sometimes his colleague Ben covered EPO and SUEPO affairs (typically Dixon, not his colleagues), but that site of theirs went under. This helps the EPO shape history, including what happened to staff representatives and judges. Remember IP Watch? Before its chief did a photo op with António Campinos and the site went down the gutter?

Looking around the Web at some shallow 'news', we still see EIA junk in foreign media (composed in English to target large populations) and a little about the Boards of Appeal. The EPO does obey even the most basic laws and then it's trying to compensate for it by bribing and/or intimidating the media. Somewhat belated EPO 'spam' will likely capitalise on actual scientists (i.e. not EPO autocrats) or even artists in order to distract from EPO corruption. We'll watch very closely how they plan to distract observers, including internal (staff). As always, we welcome feedback related to this. Internal communications of the EPO can help shed light on what's really going on behind the scenes.
