In-Depth EPO Coverage at Techrights Turns Eleven

posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jun 04, 2025

Twelve Days Of Christmas

We already covered the EPO before that, but mostly based on "open sources" (i.e. no exclusives)

Less than a week from now the sister site turns 21 and just a few weeks from now our EPO series turns 11. We wrote over 5,000 articles about the EPO. Yes, that many! In the process we got cited in European Parliament, leading European (and British) publishers, and we actually accomplished quite a lot when it comes to common perceptions about Europe, patents, and of course the EPO. We also defeated several SLAPP attempts about a decade ago.

Anniversaries are nice milestones and an opportunity to remember or take stock of things. Will we be uncovering EPO corruption for another 11 years to come? Will the EPO still exist in 11 years? Well, 11 years is a very long time.
