Abandoning the EPC in Order to Promote Corporations-Led EPO With Kangaroo Courts (UPC) is Simply Illegal

Summary: The EPO has gone off the rails and nobody wants to stop that train, certainly not the member states (MSs) which enabled the abolition of the European Patent Convention (EPC)

THE thing many people haven't yet noticed is dissent not only from inside the EPO but also a prominent former Director or Vice-President. There seems to be growing concern over the attack on judges, as well as on courts, constitutions, the laws of member states (MSs), and the EPC. Remember that without the EPC there's no EPO. Similarly, without a UPCA being legally valid (it's not, for a plethora of different reasons) there cannot ever be a UPC. We expect a shakedown in courts later this year, but that's a whole different matter.



"They're deep in the pockets of the 'coup plotter' and they're very conscious of their loss of honesty, integrity and so on (they constantly try to suck up to us, hoping it would stop us criticising them)."Now that a tribunal in Geneva keeps hammering down "troublesome" decisions for EPO management, having long broken its own laws and the laws of MSs, there seem to be a darker shadow looming over the future of the EPO, with only a year left until the EPC turns 50. Has the EPO become a private, for-profit enterprise? If so, the EPO lost its legitimacy and it needs to be rebooted. Of course the media funded by EPO management (like Joff Wild and his fellow propagandists) will not say it. They're deep in the pockets of the 'coup plotter' and they're very conscious of their loss of honesty, integrity and so on (they constantly try to suck up to us, hoping it would stop us criticising them).

The video above speaks of the resumption of the series, which will also cover Judgment 4482. We'll be publishing on a daily basis. As a side note, for those without a Gemini client we'll soon have a live HTTPS proxy that's controlled fully by us.
