A giant own goal
WELL, the blowhards at Watchtroll have managed to outdo even themselves. Again! "Tactless" is an understatement in this context and it's the wrong timing as well.
"Maybe they don't even realise how self-harming the above post really is."The gap between President-Elect (almost) Biden and (outgoing, or going to prison) Trump is only growing over time. It is now a 4-million (voters/people) gap in the "popular vote" sense as two more key states are projected to go Biden's way. Trump's campaign was a failure and it'll have no legal basis (or merit) for any effective appeals. This won't be overturned, except perhaps very locally. So it's pretty fair to assume that Biden will be inaugurated in 2 months. SCOTUS 'moles' of the GOP won't be enough; they were counted on in case of a much closer presidential race, not 50 or so electors apart. Sites like Facebook and Twitter already pull the plug on Trump, correctly (fore)seeing him as a crazed lunatic whose days are numbered.
How did Watchtroll respond to the news? Well, the screenshot above (no link needed) says it all. They're more concerned about the fate of patent trolls (defended by Trump's buddy who became the USPTO's chief) than about the integrity if not fate of the entire country. Maybe they don't even realise how self-harming the above post really is. We know some patent lawyers/attorneys who immensely dislike Trump. The above post/article won't age well.
Patent professionals who still rely on Watchtroll for their dose of "news" should consider carefully what (or who) they're supporting. The site has been a lobbying platform for disgraced/retired judges who pretend to still be judges and for various aggressive elements of the Trump administration, as well as enablers of EPO corruption under the regime of Benoît Battistelli and António Campinos. It makes the patent profession as a whole look really, really bad. ⬆
