TODAY we published Part 23 of a very long series which will last over a month in total (we publish parts on a daily basis). Part 23 is about Bulgaria, which is better known than most nations in the Balkan region, partly because of its relative size. The above video places emphasis on 6 PDF files, which are preserved here permanently for reference (to accompany the text). These include English translations.

"Research into these matters generally contributes to the perception, back by reasonably good evidence and plausible explanations, that the Bulgarian patent system is very political/politicised and not necessarily focused on technicalities, laws etc."Bulgarian politics do not receive much media coverage in "the West" (Western Europe, north America) or maybe it's just neglected by English-speaking media. So it's important to make such information more widely accessible, also in the language sense.

Research into these matters generally contributes to the perception, back by reasonably good evidence and plausible explanations, that the Bulgarian patent system is very political/politicised and not necessarily focused on technicalities, laws etc. In other words, it's a lot like today's EPO, so we can expect Bulgarian delegates to back autocrats and two-faced politicians, including António Campinos the imposter (pretending to be an expert in science without having had any experience). ⬆
