Bonum Certa Men Certa

Many of the National Delegations (or Delegates) in the EPO's Administrative Council Have No Understanding of What They Vote on

Summary: One must consider the possibility that ignorance or gullibility (which lack of qualifications may entail) possibly became a contributing factor -- malice and bribery aside -- in systemic failure of the EPO's governance

THE 25th part of the series was published this morning (index below). We may take a short recess and then continue; in the meantime we have this discussion about what António Campinos tells people in the EPO's Administrative Council as well as the EC; based on the EPO's site (the "news" section), he openly tells them lies about the UPC, which Benoît Battistelli might still be planning to preside over. They've long used this unconstitutional piece of trash (an illegal coup) as an excuse for their staff-crushing 'reforms'. The whole thing is just insane. Earlier this week the EPO's "news" section told a bunch of lies about "quality" (more keyword-stuffing than actual information) and we've already seen that many delegates lack background (educational and/or experience) when it comes to matters of patents; many don't understand the sciences, either, as they're basically political animals who compensate for a lack of skills with a breadth of connections. The sooner the public understands this, the better. The media sure is trying to keep the public in the dark on these matters. Such media apathy is complicity in the coup -- a takeover whose end goal is to crush scientists for the financial benefit of law firms and their largest clients (multinational monopolistic corporations).
