Summary: Daniel X. Thomas can be seen in today's comments about the EPO; we're meant to think this is perfectly OK while the 'Kat' censors critics of António Campinos

THE FOLLOWING has just been noticed:

I would like to draw the attention to T 1399/17 which came to a different conclusion. As the claims amended during the OP before the OD which lead to maintenance in amended form were not adapted to the description and hence left doubts about the scope of protection, the MR was not allowable. https://www.epo.org/law-practice/case-law-appeals/recent/t171399eu1.html See Point 2 of the reasons

Yes, Benoît Battistelli has bossed him in more than one institution:

Daniel X. Thomas Still Works for Benoît Battistelli

Elsewhere today:

Given the absence of any adjustment to the rules for oral proceedings in the light of G 1/21, it seems that the EPO intends to conduct oral proceedings by relying upon provisions that are clearly unlawful. It is not hard to see how this could lead to some very messy situations. However, this will only come back to bite the EPO if the EBA truly does represent an independent 'judiciary'. Given the EBA's performance in G 3/19 and, in parts, in G 1/21, it would be reasonable to have at least some doubts on that point.
