Studying EPO and Patent Affairs Through RSS Feeds and Organising the Collected Information

Summary: A quick look at the way we study, survey, and file the news (with emphasis on patents in this case); we've created a number of tools that speed up the process and give greater depth/breadth

THE way we aggregate, study, and post news is quite unique and we've developed a body of Free software tools (AGPLv3) to help with the process. In this video I share a glimpse or offer a window into my workflow, delving into patent news about once a week, then filing the findings. Insights require processing a lot of information from many sources.



News about patents is very scarce because journalism in this domain got replaced by punditry and self-promotional cruft from patent litigation firms. It's made even worse as 'European' news sites are being scooped up by German oligarchs and media magnates/(mis)information tycoons like Rupert Murdoch (a recent example noted in this video is Politico; it used to cover EPO scandals and now it's owned by "A [controversial] Right-Wing German News Conglomerate").

"If someone is discrediting the state, it is them, not us (for merely pointing out what's happening)."Incidentally, while recording this video (without prior preparation) I show this 'news' (warning: epo.org link) from the EPO, demonstrating that European software patents are being spread to the far east by António Campinos under the guise of "Hey Hi" (AI) -- exactly the sort of utter nonsense we must keep abreast of.

Our series about EPO corruption ("The EPO’s Overseer/Overseen Collusion") will resume some time soon. In the meantime we'll report as factually as possible on EPO and UPC affairs, seeing that high degree of intentional deception, illegal activity, and systemic corruption. If someone is discrediting the state, it is them, not us (for merely pointing out what's happening).
