Celebrating patents in Estonia Summary: A video to accompany part 10 of the ongoing series (EPO Exposé: The Besieged Baltic States)

THE video above was recorded shortly after publishing part 10 in the series about the EPO cabal, arranging top-level jobs and basically distributing EPO salaries (6-figure and tax-exempted) to friends and loyalists of Benoît Battistelli, António Campinos and various cohorts of theirs. We've ended up with a patent office, the largest of its kind in Europe, that just grants patents on all sorts of things (including European software patents) and then besieges its administrative tribunals to ensure they always nod approvingly. Tomorrow we'll publish part 11, which will show more of these same abuses or an elaborate coup. ⬆
