[Meme] Margot Forgot UPC Facts

Gurry Batty Campy: Nothing to see here, move along

EU coverup: Does anybody know where is the UPCA Impact Assessment (IA)? In the IA on the 2 regulations, you can find this curious statement: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=SEC:2011:0483:FIN:EN:PDF “Finally, this IA does not address the unified patent litigation system that follows a parallel work stream and will be subject to different legal instrument.” FFII has also published some allegations in June: https://ffii.org/european-commission-cheated-unified-patent-courts-impact-assessment-to-hide-the-high-costs-for-smes/ “according to a testimony we received [Margot Frohlinger] did not want to “redo the impact assessment because it would attract critics”.” The Commission is obliged to ship Impact Assessments attached to each of their proposals (which was correctly done for the 2 regulations), why was it not done with the UPCA?
One of the latest comments



Summary: Sometimes you have to wonder why the EPO is so scared of facts, courts that it does not control, and bloggers that it blackmails (and whose sites are blocked)
