FOLLOWING the first four parts of the series [1, 2, 3, 4] we've paused again to make a video about the Finnish enabler of Benoît Battistelli at the EPO. He's also an associate of António Campinos, a friend of Battistelli whom the Administrative Council left in charge of the Office, where he covers up the abuses of Battistelli. This Finnish enabler is said to have been indirectly in control of no less than 4 votes in the Council, i.e. more than France, Germany and the UK combined. Later in the series we shall talk more about Baltic states and their role, including in some of the most controversial decisions.

"Later in the series we shall talk more about Baltic states and their role, including in some of the most controversial decisions."The series will focus on aspects such as union-busting, denial of the right to strike etc. but clearly the lack of oversight at the EPO led to other problems, such as ongoing collapse of patent quality (still an ongoing problem) and court-rigging which enables European software patents -- something that another Finn has been shamelessly promoting (for a large, tax-exempted salary). ⬆
