Summary: Financialization of Europe’s largest patent office, the European Patent Office (EPO), is already destroying the EPO, at least internally; this isn't sustainable, but those standing to profit from financialization don't care (they only look a few years ahead)

We've only just published this new document [PDF] from the belly of the EPO. It reaffirms our strong suspicion, based on leaked presentations, that the EPO is quickly shrinking and António Campinos is failing to retain (let alone attract) talented patent examiners. Like Mr. "You're Fired!" what we have here is a destructive force or a demolition team. They convert what's left of the EPO (which they destroy) into a pile of cash for speculation. In the process they break a lot of laws, lose their status (which took over 40 years to earn!), and shame/harm Europe in general.

The video above goes through the document. Tomorrow and for 3 more days (until Sunday) we'll cover the implosion of the EPO bubble -- an implosion that already started a couple of years ago, just like SUEPO (the staff union) had warned more than half a decade ago. ⬆
