Unitary Patent Lobbying: Stacked UPC Panel With 250 People in Attendance Spun as “3000 Viewers Followed the Conference” (a Lie)

Summary: Bolstering the criminal acts of António Campinos from the EPO is a supportive "conference in Brussels" which was more like staged Unified Patent Court (UPC) propaganda for lobbying purposes; Kangaroo courts are being promoted to legitimise fake European Patents, granted in violation of the European Patent Convention (EPC)

THE video above discusses the latest statements (fluff) from the EPO's official site, notably this one (warning: epo.org link) which was published less than a day ago. The except says: "More than 1 000 participants attend high-level conference in Brussels."



That's a lie. The body itself says that only about 250 were present (and they probably rounded this up... upwards). Further down they try to use social control media to further inflate the numbers, just like the OSI did earlier this year. They use "junk" yardsticks like "clicks" or "impressions" (scrolled past) to avoid speaking of real, meaningful stuff like active participation, attendance etc.

"They use "junk" yardsticks like "clicks" or "impressions" (scrolled past) to avoid speaking of real, meaningful stuff like active participation, attendance etc."The UPC has long been promoted based on a bunch of lies and gagging of critics. The UPC is a Trojan horse for European software patents and many other things. It cannot withstand scrutiny if any real scrutiny was to come from the corporate/mainstream media. The aforementioned "event" was in fact only attended by fervert proponents of the UPC; not a single sceptic or critic was allowed and the panel was moderated by a Watchtroll pundit in the pockets of Team UPC (a Big Business propagandist spun as "IP journalist").

Aside from that, the self-appointed 'judge' and "the f***ing president" (that's what he calls himself) makes up the rules for internal tribunals, yet again.

The EPO's disregard for the law, reluctance to obey court orders (without oversight, what would be the consequences?) and abuse of its own staff is -- quite frankly as expected -- extending to the general public. The same corrupt officials are now working to hijack or replace national courts, appointing 'judges' based on nepotism while they still work for companies with a stake in the outcome (conflict of interest).

What can the ordinary European citizen do about this injustice? Or to quote someone: "What channels to European citizens have to ask for oversight of the EPO?"

Remember that the EPO rides diplomatic immunity and there are docile allies inside the European Commission.

The absence of official channels by which to complain about the EPO is not a new problem and the existing, suboptimal options are contacting one's MEP/s. Some of them make a point by highlighting the illegality of the situation.
