Recent: Unified Patent Court is a Fake Common Court and Violates CJEU’s Jurisprudence of the Last 10 Years, Will Explode at launch, Says Professor Jaeger

We're starting a system; Without even checking if it's legal

Summary: The barrage of fake news and misinformation about the UPC deliberately leaves out all the obvious and very important facts; even the EPO's António Campinos and Breton (Benoît Battistelli's buddy) participated in the lying

As usual, all the signal is in comments [1, 2, 3]; so-called 'articles' are just fake news composed by people with a conflict of interest and EPO "media partners".
