What have they sunk to? Fabrications. This is deliberate lying (in the case of IAM, the UPC lies are subsidised by the EPO's PR firm, FTI Consulting)

What they call "official forecast" is basically Team UPC's own "forecast" (wishful thinking, lobbying strategy of superimposing a falsehood, hoping it will miraculously materialise this way)

Lies as headlines aren't a novel 'invention' and they're a long-running tradition of Team UPC (they're long done this in IAM, Managing IP, JUVE, and also in Kluwer Patent Blog)

No, Germany did not ratify. As members of a law firm, the authors already know this, but they have decided to lie anyway. Truly shameless and Trumpian.

Summary: All the above are patently false; yet these serve to show how desperate Team UPC has become; it'll likely get even worse in days to come because they're metaphorically gasping for air and hope that news from Germany can be distorted to say something else, misleading everybody
