Summary: The corruption in Europe's second-largest institution and largest patent office has become so profound that the only way to sustain this corruption is to silence and/or intimidate those who speak about it

THE post we've just published shares a 5-page document about how Monopoly Tony (António Campinos) and his EPO appointer Benoît Battistelli (Campinos lacks prior history at the EPO) illegally suppressed communication at the Office for nearly 10 years.

"Freedom of expression scares tyrants the most because they tend to have the most to hide."This suppression is perhaps expected. When you routinely break the law you don't want your staff and your clients/customers (that's how today's EPO views applicants) to find out. The video above points out that an honest, law-abiding patent office does not need to worry about people speaking to one another openly; moreover, the importance of circulation information becomes ever more apparent when management goes rogue and does everything wrong. When there's diplomatic immunity it is essential.
