Corrupt Benoît Battistelli Promotes Software Patents in IAM's Patent Trolls-Funded Event in the United States

Summary: With less than 3 weeks remaining for Battistelli's term he engages in gross revisionism, lobbying, and even looting of the patent office

TOMORROW, as we have just noted, the EPO's "expert" (that's what the EPO calls him) will promote software patents in Europe. But today is Battistelli's turn. Battistelli already writes articles for IAM about software patents (he's an author there) and gives keynotes speeches for IAM. This is extraordinary as in the USPTO software patents are on the way out and here comes Battistelli from Europe to promote them there (in the US), in an event funded by patent trolls. IAM will probably write about it shortly, rubbing Battistelli's back like he rubs theirs.



"Battistelli already writes articles for IAM about software patents (he's an author there) and gives keynotes speeches for IAM."But here's a bit of an unexpected thing: Johanne Bélisle (French-sounding name) has just been named in another country, Canada. The EPO is already retweeting it and it says: "Our CEO, Johanne Bélisle, and the President of the European Patent Office, Benoît Battistelli, signed two memorandums of understanding to help strengthen global collaboration."

Just over an hour ago the EPO boosted this article (warning: epo.org link) with the following nugget of information:

The meeting was held on the side-lines of the 11th IPBC Global congress hosted by IAM Magazine, where the EPO President will deliver a keynote address on the topic "The patent system in the age of Artificial Intelligence".


We've asked CIPO: "Why does EIPO brag about being seen with a hugely corrupt official who uses diplomatic immunity to avoid being held accountable for his countless abuses?"

"IAM will probably write about it shortly, rubbing Battistelli's back like he rubs theirs."It's just like in his trip to Paris where last week he collected an award that is cynical to the extreme.

Earlier today the EPO wrote: "The European Case Law Identifier (ECLI) sitemap makes it easier to access and reference decisions of the EPO's boards of appeal."

So I asked them: "The EPO's boards of appeal which Battistelli is illegally attacking to make them afraid of him?"

Well, they still complain about it and the scapegoat (judge) is losing everything.

"It's not just an insult to workers' intelligence but to Europe as a whole. Are we rewarding corrupt people for their corruption?"It's almost as though Battistelli just tries to drive everyone crazy with ludicrous awards for his many abuses if not crimes. There's another one of those coming soon. Battistelli will have his name stamped on an EPO building where his staff jumped out the building (same country).

It's not just an insult to workers' intelligence but to Europe as a whole. Are we rewarding corrupt people for their corruption?

EPO insiders aren't happy. These people are trying to just keep cool and maintain their sanity for a few more weeks, assuming António Campinos will be a major change (which we doubt). "The Future," one of them told us, is what they all have in mind as "there aren't may opportunities to have a good laugh when thinking of the EPO."

It gets even worse as the thug prepares for departure. It's outrageous if not laughable, depending on one's mood.

"For sites like IAM to actively participate in all this says a lot about Joff Wild and his crew.""However," told us this person, "the daily life at the EPO gives many occasions to mediate. I recently rediscovered the song The future by Leonard Cohen. The lyrics fit Battistelli as from July 1st like a glove. I meditate."

Better try to relax for a few more weeks as Battistelli reaps rewards that he arranged for himself, writes whitepapers about himself, and pretends that he's the literal king of the Netherlands (at least for a day).

This is by far worse than anything that Sepp Blatter has ever done. For sites like IAM to actively participate in all this says a lot about Joff Wild and his crew.
