Bonum Certa Men Certa

Norway's Handling of EPO Dictatorship

Summary: Taking stock of Norway's actions; it did not blindly accept the lies told by the "Veritable Virtuoso of Legal Sophistry", having actually studied the controversial and outright illegal "Strike Regulations" in 2013 (ahead of the vote)

THIS morning we reminded readers that "Norway highlighted strong concerns about declining patent quality at the EPO several years ago under the Benoît Battistelli administration" and moments ago we released Part 34 of the ongoing series along this with addendum -- basically a letter sent from staff representatives to national delegations. That letter aged very well. Of course António Campinos decided to maintain totally unlawful strike regulations for 3 years (until ILO forced his hand). What does that say about Campinos?



Anyway, let's hope for some strike action soon. There's a meeting coming up (well, actually a multi-participant webchat); if the staff refuses to work that day (stoppage), then it can send a strong message to Josef.
