[16:28] schestowitz[TR2] To this end, specific file numbers have been communicated to staff, imposing a cherry picking of grantable files on examiners. [16:28] schestowitz[TR2] According to these reports, such instructions are often only delivered orally, leaving staff in a situation of uncertainty since there is no written trace of the instruction to deviate from the usual practice, in some cases violating the rights of applicants by treating the files before certain deadlines have passed. In addition, colleagues indicate that they are threatened that should they not comply, the files will be reassigned to [16:28] schestowitz[TR2] other examiners, resulting in the loss of recognition for work already performed. [16:28] schestowitz[TR2] In this context, it should be noted that in cases of reassignment of divisions, the Boards of Appeal recently decided that there was a substantial procedural violation (T 758/23 and T 759/23, see OP minutes). This practice raises serious concerns regarding fairness, integrity, and the proper functioning of the Office. [16:28] schestowitz[TR2] In this open letter to VP1 and the COO, the CSC asks for their immediate clarification."
