Shuffling the EPO Deck to Cover Up Crimes, EPC Violations, Attacks on Judges Etc. While Promoting Illegal and Unconstitutional UPC

Summary: EPO restructuring to look more like a private corporation isn't unprecedented; but unlike a private corporation it has a total monopoly (granting authority status is a monopoly for Europe) and even diplomatic immunity, so what we deal with here is a fascistic monster that casually breaks the law, commits violations of European constitutions, and even attacks the courts themselves

HAVING published Daily Links at around midday, we've already included a sample of this past week's propaganda about UPC. We'll do more of the same tonight (the second batch of Daily Links) and maybe tomorrow morning, showing the truly disturbing degree of misinformation and promotion of illegal things by so-called 'law' firms. It's almost always about money, never about justice or about science. The EPO passes money around, sending it down the toilet.



"The short story is, the EPO is once again aiming to confuse and diffuse, in essence writing the history of EPO crimes and changing job titles to potentially impede/curtail any post mortem (forensics) of the EPO's demise (abandonment of EPC)."In the video above I focus on this new article from Dr. Thorsten Bausch, a patent attorney who has long complained about EPO abuses, both under Benoît Battistelli's term and the 3.5 years of António Campinos. Both of them break the law, lie, and tarnish the reputation of Europe (or EU). This, in turn, harms the union and seeds disharmony. Worth reading are the comments on this article (translations are available in German and French), which I go through in the video above.

The short story is, the EPO is once again aiming to confuse and diffuse, in essence writing the history of EPO crimes and changing job titles to potentially impede/curtail any post mortem (forensics) of the EPO's demise (abandonment of EPC). The guilty parties are perhaps focusing on optics in anticipation of formal investigations if not legal complaints/lawsuits. Yes, the EPO has a lot coming its way.

Let's do the shuffle
