Bonum Certa Men Certa

From About 2-3 Blog Posts Per Day to Not Even One Per Day (After Covering Up for 'Good' EPO Under António Campinos)

If blogs don't cover what people care about and what needs to be said, writers and readers will go elsewhere

IP Kat archives with just over a month left in the year



Summary: While it's totally debatable whether the problem is IP Kat's deletion of comments critical of António Campinos (among other such factors after pressure from the EPO [1-7]) or blogs in general perishing, this blog certainly peaked when it covered EPO scandals (864 blog posts in 2015 and 879 in 2014 -- the highest ever in the blog's almost-20-year history)

Luis has new reputation-laundering priorities:

António Campinos: I will silence your critics like I silenced my critics at IP Kat, using blackmail tactics; Klaus Grabinski: Sounds good, mein master



IP Kat and Censorship:
  1. The Last Comment in IP Kat (Before Censorship) Was About Patent Quality at the EPO
  2. Personal Attacks, Censorship of Comments and More Nefarious Tricks Expected in the Wake of UPC Panic
  3. In Spite of Censorship by IP Kat, Issues Associated With UPC Had Become Apparent, Even Before Germany Halted Ratification
  4. Has IP Kat's Unofficial (Self-)Censorship Policy Expanded From Protecting the EPO's Image to Protecting the UPC?
  5. EPO Self-Censorship by IP Kat or Just Censorship of Opinions That IP Kat Does Not Share/Accept (Updated)
  6. Heiko Maas, the SPD “Cash for Access” Affair, and Suspicions of Unwarranted Censorship at IP Kat (Again)
  7. After EPO Sanctions Against IP Kat (Censorship of More Than 10,000 Articles) Even Merpel Throws in the Towel
