Summary: EPO administrators who lack an understanding of the scientific process and patent law have turned the organisation upside down and doomed its actual mission

THE video above concerns the second part of the current EPO series and António Campinos running the EPO as if it was a bank.

Like Benoît Battistelli before him, he has very poor grasp of patents and of science. Maybe it's not surprising that Battistelli chose him as his successor and rigged the process, ensuring a reckless bankster keeps checks and balances in the dark, in effect covering up a decade or so of EPO corruption.

It's a safe prediction that there's trouble ahead for the EPO; it's a reasonable forecast in light of the current implosion of a bubble, which ruins Europe's largest patent office; instead of relying on a steady flow of high-quality patents from highly-specialised examiners we now have a mill of sorts.

The Office may have gone past "the point of no return"; a suitably qualified staff pool isn't coming back. ⬆
