Battistelli Plans to Expand the Social [sic] 'Study' (Then 'Conference') Propaganda Until Next Month, Under the 'Workshop' Umbrella

This has just appeared on the Intranet:

Battistelli's conference



Summary: Milking his shameless propaganda (paid-for 'studies'), Battistelli wants to rewrite the record by all means possible, then pretend that EPO staff participates in it

THE EPO's management has stooped down to full-blown propaganda mode. It's not even funny, especially when truth itself becomes a casualty and victims are people this propaganda is about. By endless repetition the circle of Battistelli believes it can fool everyone, but instead it just enrages everyone. The examiners are not ignorant and their tolerance for propaganda is understandably low.



Watch how the announcement (above) from the EPO tries to cast this latest upcoming stunt as a participatory thing. It also did it last week and the week before that, by shamelessly stating how many people watched the so-called 'conference' (while SUEPO was locked out), even if they watched it out of disgust rather than support. They certainly don't play along. It's like Battistelli's circle basically trolls them and then brags about the amount of attention it gets for the trolling. As usual, quality and quantity are not the same thing.

Injustice and abuse prevail at the EPO. In fact, it's still getting worse. Things are escalating and exacerbating. About the suspended BoA judge one person asked this morning: "I still don't understand. What did the guy do to justify all this nonsense? Is he active in the union like the others who were fired?"

As far as we know, he wasn't in any way associated, but he's accused of -- gasp! -- communicating with someone from SUEPO.

As a side note, the EPO's Twitter account is truly strong poison. The other day it wrote: "Access patent documents to find out more about the technical aspects of your competitors’ work" (link to the EPO's site).

Everyone who works in this area/domain and is honest enough would say that it's a bad idea. Even legal councils/departments in large corporations openly say so. If one looks into a rival's patent, then it becomes WILLFUL infringement, i.e. an infringement for which one is liable with vastly higher damages (fees/penalty).

When will the EPO quit lying? Tomorrow we expect it to jointly (with the EUIPO) start a new propaganda push.
