This Won't End Well for the UPC Lobby (Unitary Patent Profoundly Discredits the Rule of Law)

Summary: Unified Patent Court (UPC) lobbyists may be acting jubilant and triumphant, but they're in effect dancing on the grave of the real legal system they're working to bury, replacing it with something that cannot and will not stand

THE EPO has ramped up pro-UPC propaganda in its official Web site while knowing darn well that UPC would be illegal, unwanted, and damaging to the European Union (both its reputation and its citizens).



"The main casualty will be the credibility of institutions that kept pushing for UPC or succumbed/surrendered to the lobby, revealing them to be little more than corporate vassals."Some days ago the photo ops with a kangaroo started, showing António Campinos alongside a 'judge' elevated to run/manage corporations disguised as 'judges'.

There will be legal and/or constitutional challenges on the way; that's guaranteed. The main casualty will be the credibility of institutions that kept pushing for UPC or succumbed/surrendered to the lobby, revealing them to be little more than corporate vassals. What's more, the very notion that Europe has a functional legal system will be overshadowed by what happened.
