Summary: The EPO has outsourced its operations, including its 'courts', to the United States; this seems to be the so-called 'New Normal' [1, 2]

THE EPO wants to fool the world. When it's not busy burning tens of millions of euros gaming the media is it issuing some distracting self-serving lies in the "news" section of its site.



"It's hard to not understand why EPO staff is pissed off and why so many went on strike a few months back, in spite of the risks associated with such an action.""Testing of Zoom for OPs in examination has already started through ad hoc conversion of OPs by Skype for Business with the agreement of the applicant and/or representative," the EPO says (warning: epo.org link) today, but both are a violation of the EPC and GDPR. EPO management is just outsourcing to the US, yet again. The EU authorities don't seem to care.

Shaved Ice Bear: Skype illegal? OK, we'll provide another illegal optionTowards the end, this video mentions this article about the António Campinos regime shamelessly breaking laws under the guise of 'New Normal'. We mentioned this article in the morning. Well, law-breaking was already normalised by Benoît Battistelli. Campinos is just... "finishing the job"...

It's hard to not understand why EPO staff is pissed off and why so many went on strike a few months back, in spite of the risks associated with such an action.
