European Patent Office (EPO) Condemned Again by Judges at the Administrative Tribunal of the International Labour Organisation (ILOAT)

ILOAT sees more violations of staff rights at European Patent Office



Summary: "ILOAT sees more violations of staff rights at European Patent Office," says this new blog post, but do not expect any so-called 'journalists' to even mention it (the publishers are bribed and complicit)

THE management of the EPO is just as corrupt as it was 5 years ago and 10 years ago. Nothing has improved at all, except maybe the lack of media participation. There's hardly any journalism anymore and EPO autocrats exploit this to flood the Web with paid-for puff pieces, relaying lies and glorification of illegal agenda.



"So this decision was published less than 4 days ago. Let's see if the media reactions; don't hold your breath..."Having said that, an anonymous blogger has just published the above. "Translations are available in German, French and Dutch," SUEPO added today (minutes ago). To quote: "The EPO has violated the right of free association by imposing restrictions on staff’s choice of members for the Appeals Committee and other statutory bodies of the EPO. The Administrative Tribunal of the International Labour Organisation ruled this in a case which was published on 6 July 2022. In another case it judged that restrictions put on the use of the internal mail system in 2013 were unlawful and must be quashed. [...] In its decision of 6 July 2022, the tribunal judged decision CA/D 2/14 violated the right of staff to freely associate."

So this decision was published less than 4 days ago. Let's see if the media reactions; don't hold your breath...

The EPO doesn't matter anyway... it's 'only' Europe's second-largest institution, serving the interests of the same corporations which own much of what's left of the media.
