Summary: This new video discusses the truly absurd situation that we have in 'civilised' Europe, where the largest patent office and Europe's second-largest organisation overall isn't just abundantly corrupt; it moreover enjoys total immunity, so it breaks the law with complete impunity (while supposed overseers help the cover-up)

THE EPO's administration is covering up crimes. Benoît Battistelli and António Campinos aren't being supervised or held to account by anybody and they exploit that. Not only do they allow patents on just about everything (even monopolies on nature and on life, never mind software patents), they also allow spying on everybody, ranging from staff to stakeholders. Even most monarchies do not go that far.

Is the Administrative Council asleep? No, not really. It's complicit. It actively helps cover up the crimes. This is unacceptable. And meanwhile the courts have become like rubberstampers.

The sordid mess we currently see inside the EPO is no better than 5 years ago; the main difference is the lack of press coverage and thus the absence of public outcry and political backlash. Guess why the press has been quiet... mostly bribes and threats. ⬆
