Bonum Certa Men Certa

Who Will Assess the Performance of the Corrupt EPO? Nobody. It's Above Scrutiny.

Corrupt



Summary: The EPO, Europe's largest patent office, is subjecting staff to stress-inducing appraisals while the EPO itself keeps lying about management's performance and lets managers shamelessly break the law (there are no consequences for crime if you're a manager in this institution, Europe's second-largest institution)

THE EPO's staff union, SUEPO, has highlighted another new post about the demise of quality of European Patents under Benoît Battistelli and António Campinos. The comments are worth reading; it's not limited to European software patents and the illegitimacy of the UPC is noted along the way. We try to archive such comments because we're told that Kluwer Patent Blog is still censoring comments. The blog is, as a whole, a giant booster of the UPC that always fails to disclose a giant conflict of interest (like Bristows staff running it anonymously a lot of the time).



"Get ready for some big EPO leaks about corruption. It's under preparation at the moment."The Local Staff Committee The Hague (LSCTH) has meanwhile shared slides that it presented exactly a fortnight ago. "Thanks to all the participants of the online information session on the topic of performance / appraisal last Thursday February 2nd, 2023," LSCTH wrote. It deals mostly with potential legal disputes in 13 slides. Under the guise of appraisal/assessment/performance reports EPO management probably tries to bully staff into patent maximalism rather than adherence to the EPC. It's important not to surrender to this illegal agenda.

Get ready for some big EPO leaks about corruption. It's under preparation at the moment. The EPO likes to talk about "legality" and "courts" and the "law" when in fact it is routinely committing crimes, violating conventions, burying constitutions and so on, with Grabinski's grubby hands on the gavel and an army of blackmailing trolls to defend this mafia-like activity [1, 2]. We've reported these mobsters to the EFF and the EFF opened a ticket for it. Europe has been getting more authoritarian and it fails to protect the press. There's barely any press left, just lobbying sites of special interests like Team UPC's. Europe has adopted Maltese media standards.
