Summary: EPO.org -- the official Web site of Europe's second-largest institution -- has become an insanely dishonest propaganda outlet which incites to break the law and violate constitutions; it's not forgivable that other European authorities are tolerating this

TODAY the EPO's management issued several more lies. It's important to always correct the lies and rebut false claims. The moment you no longer bother the liars can win, as they can repeat the same lies over and over again, unchallenged. To an oursider and bypasser/observer it might even seem like the lies are "truth"; if they're false, after all, why isn't anyone saying so? Fighting back against well-connected liars such as Benoît Battistelli and António Campinos can be mentally exhausting and demoralising. Staff representatives have done this for years and they must persist. It's the only way to get things done; persistence and patience are the only way because charlatans and liars rely on the other side surrendering or giving up due to resources running out. It's a political modus operandi.



"We invite EPO staff (such as examiners) to help oppose the liars. Their agenda is very ruinous to all of us."This past weekend we finished a long series focusing on the failure of the media, which is very much complicit in all this. When it comes to patent news, European press is like Chinese state media. It never wants to even touch EPO scandals and instead it gets paid to lie, as per the "official" lies from EPO management, as told hours ago [1, 2] (warning: epo.org link).

We intend to issue rebuttals more frequently than before. More posts, shorter videos. There might be another video coming later today.

Compensating for such utter lies by endless repetition means that quality of lies was abandoned in favour of sheer quanitity. But lying over and over again (like a thousand times about the UPC) does not make a falsehood suddenly "true". We invite EPO staff (such as examiners) to help oppose the liars. Their agenda is very ruinous to all of us.

When I started writing about patents about 20 years ago I focused on technical aspects. In the EPO, as the EPO's management repeatedly demonstrates, technicalities don't matter anymore. It's all about revenue maximisation and pedantic examiners are a barrier to it; the very purpose of the EPC was to prevent such a situation and at the moment it seems like the EPO's response isn't an attempt to become compliant with the law but to change the law (they've said this shamelessly in their own site, EPO.org) while vigorously silencing staff and censoring publications.
