UPC Fake News Watch (and Tough Reality): Same Familiar Talking Points and Talking Heads

Ramsay says what Ramsay wants to believe (but knows to be false)

Mathieu Klos/“UPC member states must commit to maximum transparency of judgments”: UPC lobbying and EPO management's propaganda since recent years; Quotes as headlines in place of facts; The covert motivation of this self-serving puff piece

Konstanze Richter: Pichlmaier vindicated as CJEU overturns preliminary injunction practice: UPC does not exist, JUVE insists you think  it's lovely

Amy Sandys: Latest in-house patent market news and developments: Latest hogwash with 'Xiaomi is still optimistic for a functioning UPC.'

Gill Jennings & Every LLP: Unified Patent Court and Unitary Patent FAQs: Does it even exist? Can we ask that?

Monika Shailesh, S&A Law Offices: India: The Unitary Patent System: Nope, India is not in Europe; Litigation as a service; Breton; No, it is very clearly unlawful

Alexandre Miura: IP Kat continues to participate in lobbying charades/fake news tactic

Alexandre Miura: And then some more, for good measure: PR tactics: make an ILLEGAL system a question of equality

Summary: We take stock of the most recent propaganda from Team UPC; notice how there's not even one single case of objective journalism on the matter (we've searched and tracked this very closely), it's just a bunch of law firms (patent litigation profiteers) and their operatives -- in sites like JUVE -- quoting them
