Also see: Leaked E-mails From the EPO's Roberto Vacca Reveal That Patent Quality at the European Patent Office Has Become Farcical

Summary: A short time after Techrights covered the meeting in which Battistelli would likely attempt to co-opt Lee for legitimisation the EPO does exactly what we predicted it would do

EARLIER today we wrote about Michelle Lee and the Liar in Chief, Battistelli, sharing a room. The patent quality at the EPO has seemingly fallen way behind that of the USPTO, so we worry that Lee may inadvertently be influenced by the 'Mafioso' to give up on patent progress and instead become an assembly line again.

Well, guess what? We predicted something would be published about this at the EPO's front page by the end of the day. We were right! Yes, it only took perhaps an hour or two for the EPO to 'respond' (or maybe the timing was just a coincidence, unlike other recent cases [1, 2], including the above about Roberto Vacca).

"We predicted something would be published about this at the EPO's front page by the end of the day."Battistelli isn't signing the 'article' but the location is disclosed as "Seville, Spain" (we made a mere guess about it before) and he is quoted as saying: "Our three offices have been at the forefront of international patent co-operation and work-sharing. From acquisition and exchange of data to common tools for classification, search and examination, our joint efforts have led to more efficient and higher quality patent procedures, which benefit both our offices and our users. And as a result, companies and inventors can increasingly expect to find similar procedures when patenting their inventions around the world."

Actually, "companies and inventors" want you fired, Mr. Battistelli. You should know this by now, but you keep suppressing facts and disseminating lies, thereby deepening the crisis of the Office you purport to care about (as long as you and your cronies can extract lots of money out of it). ⬆
