Summary: The laughable state of the EPO's EBA (or EBoA) is rarely commented on anymore, not even in so-called 'IP' blogs; maybe they're just so eager to see patents on everything, even European software patents, so tyrants [1, 2] who destroy the courts (with UPC lobbying and removal of EBA independence) don't bother them so much anymore
