Summary: With journalism waning if not dying perhaps we should expect lobbyists and PR agencies to fill the vacuum; in the domain of patents we're seeing the worst elements stealing the narrative and pushing illegal proposals without any parliamentary debates

THE above video, a long clip regarding the annotated screenshots published this morning, walks through some of the tactics of Team UPC (a tightly-knit cabal of litigation firms working to further their own financial agenda at the expense of everyone else). We're asked to make many false assumptions, we're being deliberately lied to, and people who call themselves "journalists" are in fact paid agents of propaganda, bankrolled by Team UPC.



"UPC is clearly not legal, but nothing stops Team UPC from doing what's illegal. Who's going to punish them? Politicians?"A proper, functioning society cannot coexist with this sort of abuse. In the same way EPO staff was oppressed by Benoît Battistelli (and now by his friend, António Campinos) we risk further oppression -- even litigation -- from megacorporations that aren't inventive and aren't European. This is exactly what Team UPC wants; litigation is its 'bread and butter'.

Finally, as noted earlier, more people need to get involved. At the very least people can contact their elected officials and explain to them what's going on. A lot of them got bamboozled by lobbyists and lobbying in the media. UPC is clearly not legal, but nothing stops Team UPC from doing what's illegal. Who's going to punish them? Politicians?

Patent litigation firms are people!
