Summary: New EPO series due for release soon; be ready to witness how European software patents are pushed in clear violation of the EPC among many other things (and more importantly why)

SO António Campinos, the EPO's corrupt dictator, got reappointed just like his original appointer Benoît Battistelli. Is this diversity? The EPO is run like the Mafia, so this was expected. Everyone predicted this outcome and lubrication of delegates with bribes neither caught the media's attention nor was it investigated by anybody. The quasi-formal term "organised crime" neatly described today's EPO management.

New EPO series is in the pipeline and due for release soon.

"The series will then proceed to explore how Team Campinos is gearing up to take action on this front as indicated by some recent personnel changes (connected with the EPO-wide "reorganisation" that took place in April of this year)."This will be a 12-part series which starts off by taking a look at the EPO's "grant bubble" that currently seems to be in the process of deflating.

It will go on to explain why this development represents a potential problem for certain "vested interests" and why EPO management has strong motives for trying to prop up the "bubble".

The series will then proceed to explore how Team Campinos is gearing up to take action on this front as indicated by some recent personnel changes (connected with the EPO-wide "reorganisation" that took place in April of this year).

"The series should of particular interest to readers of Techrights because there are definite signs that EPO management is planning a concerted effort to push for an increase in the (currently relatively low) "grant rate" of the ICT sector (in simple terms: more "software patents"... or the many buzzwords, e.g. 4IR, AI, CII)."The analysis will include an in-depth look at some of the main protagonists in this affair, in particular the new "Chief Operating Officer Operations".
