Benoît Battistelli Became an Embarrassment to the European Patent Organisation, Allege EPO Workers

Summary: The revolt against the Battistelli regime culminates with explicit denunciation of an unprecedented assault on truth-tellers within the organisation

AS MANY people already know (especially those who have been paying close enough attention), the EPO's thuggish management has a notorious track record and villainous pattern of using threats and menacing letters to remove access to information, and that is why we have decided to make copies of the following documents just shared by SUEPO. Many people need to read this because it's about Benoît Battistelli and his ilk trying to shoot down a technical judge for merely discussing truthful information. This was last year's culmination of Benoît Battistelli's war against truth-tellers and it deserves broader reach, even worldwide attention. Will mainstream media (e.g. the BBC) finally decide to give this coverage? It's well overdue.

SUEPO has just put in public circulation an alarming statement. It is not alarmist as based on information we have (from multiple independent sources) it's simply too factual. Techrights is more censorship-resistant than SUEPO because there is little in terms of threats that the EPO can legally do to us, hence we decided to make copies of the English [PDF]French [PDF], German [PDF], and Dutch [PDF] versions. Here is it in HTML form and as images below. Cracking our servers and/or DDOS attacks may be the only way for EPO to censor this information, as the EPO's ringleaders have already banned our site (internally).
