The European Patent Office (EPO) Needs More Scrutiny, Contact Your Officials Tonight or Tomorrow
The European Patent Office (EPO) or the European Patent Organisation (also EPO) are disgracing Europe and the European Union (EU)
The European Patent Office (EPO) is Europe's second-largest institution or biggest patent office in Europe (bar none). Sans the EU, it's Europe's biggest institution with over 6,000 staff and a lot of money coming in, going out (e.g. bribes), and disappearing in a form of systematic plunder. The plundering is done by people who break the law out in the open, not just in secret. They genuinely feel, believe, and even act as if they're above the law. They grew to be like that based on their experience (breaking laws without consequences, invoking diplomatic immunity and so on).
We are casually reminded by readers to use the full name, European Patent Office, not the acronym. We are also encouraged to explain some of the core issues for those who are not insiders, i.e. staff and former staff of the European Patent Office.
Today we have time to do this, with greater focus on recent events rather than "in general" (we did the latter many times in the past).
The European Patent Office has been around for over 50 years. Prior to it, there were sorts of precursors to it; some were connected directly to Nazi Germany - a fact that management of the European Patent Office would rather not know or not tell us about. The European Patent Office's President did, in the past, slander critics of his, painting them as "nazis" (despite his very own grandfather having close connections to the Nazi Party!), set aside the institution he ran having worrying roots that he reinforced when he attacked judges and sent them to Haar. Of course he also attempted to paint dissenting judges as "nazis" or "nazi sympathisers" or something to that effect.
"Nazi" is a 4-letter word that's considered to be a very powerful insult, but "cocaine" is a 7-letter word that is considered a taboo in today's Office because some managers are using it and some get caught using it. 5 days ago we saw that doing cocaine and running the Office is totally compatible!
What does this mean? What will this mean? Can the Office survive all those scandals? Tomorrow we'll cover the biggest one yet (see Part II and Part III), set aside staff being on strike any day of the week.
These people remain in power because they've helped the litigation "industry" initiate an illegal and unconstitutional court that benefits them financially and helps authorise illegal patents. That court is controlled by the "industry" (companies like Nokia as judges). In other words, they flood the system with many unlawful (not compliant with the EPC) patents and many frivolous patent cases or out-of-court settlements over European Patents that should never have existed (but would be expensive to challenge/invalidate). Our latest Daily Links contain new indications that generic drugs are now under attack by those illegal and unconstitutional tribunals; put another way, many poor people in Europe will die to make way for patent maximalists. This is a passage of wealth and they have blood on their hands.
Remember this is all done by what EPO staff calls "Mafia" - a cabal of nepotists without qualifications or experience to run a patent office. Some of them do cocaine. Some of them sniff the right bottom (brown-nosing Campinos, who has an incestuous relationship with the cocaine addicts).
If this bothers you and you live in Europe, contact your officials today. Tomorrow or later today will be perfect timing. █
