Team UPC Has Spread a Dozen or So Fake News Headlines With Patently False Claims, Which It's Unable and Unwilling to Justify

Recent: Naming and Shaming 'Captured' Publications That Knowingly and Intentionally Published Fake News About the EU's Unified Patent Court So Far This Week

Summary: Classic Team UPC, dancing around the actual facts and ignoring constitutions as well as basic laws

"Pretty empty answer from this Preparatory Committee," a reader has called it, sending along to us what he or she received in response to a polite/amicable enquiry. We omit the name from the correspondence below.





Dear ⬆⬆⬆⬆⬆⬆⬆⬆ ⬆⬆⬆⬆⬆⬆⬆⬆⬆⬆⬆⬆⬆,

Thank you for your interest in the Unified Patent Court.

For updates and information on the next steps of the project, please consult our website. Further information will be published in due course.

Kind regards,

UPC Secretariat.

Dear Sir,

I am reading with attention this article published today on the UPC website:

https://www.unified-patent-court.org/news/what-decision-german-federal-constitutional-court-means-unified-patent-courts-timeplan

You mention the PPA, which still has in its Article3 the UK as a requirement to enter into force:

https://www.unified-patent-court.org/sites/default/files/Protocol_to_the_Agreement_on_Unified_Patent_Court_on_provisional_application.pdf

"This Protocol shall enter into force the day after 13 Signatory States of the Agreement on a Unified Patent Court including Germany, France and the United Kingdom"

What is the list of actions in the right order in order to see this protocol into force?

Best regards,

⬆⬆⬆⬆⬆⬆⬆⬆⬆⬆⬆⬆⬆⬆⬆⬆⬆⬆⬆


"Further information will be published in due course," they've said. What information? More lies? Or is Boris Johnson rejoining the EU?
