I've 'Bean' thinking... Naaaaa.....Summary: After over a decade of relentless assaults on very basic rights of EPO workers we're seeing industrial action, which is akin to civil disobedience (refusing to obey illegal instructions from EPO management)

THE staff at the EPO is trying to restore the Rule of Law, namely the EPC and basic human rights. This means software patents are also at stake, so Techrights readers who are focused on technology should pay close attention and spread the word. Will Mr. Rowan come to the rescue? Extremely unlikely. He owes Team Battistelli a lot. He is there to obstruct staff.



"This means software patents are also at stake, so Techrights readers who are focused on technology should pay close attention and spread the word."Later this week the staff representatives will meet Team Campinos (many of the same people whom Benoît Battistelli installed there for massive salaries, sans the required qualifications) and they've already circulated a bunch of concerns, itemised in a letter sent prior to the meeting. The real boss is the EPC, not a bunch of phony "guidelines" drawn up by people who barely understand patent law and over-compensate for it with vacuous buzzwords whilst advised by sinister lobbyists.

The video above shows the article in question using Gemini (in Kristall). We've taken note of the upswing in 2022 (see graph below; it was generated today). Due to its technical nature Gemini is a lot harder to censor (and simple to self-host).
