EPO run based on connections (nepotism), not merit
Summary: The kakistocracy in charge of today's EPO putting people in charge of disciplines they do not understand (and have no experience in!) is another sign of an institution gone profoundly rogue/wrong; FrenchmenBenoît Battistelli and António Campinos have put a fellow Frenchman, Razik Menidjel, in charge of areas he has never worked it, including European software patents
The bottom line is, never made the false assumption that because you can pile up SLAPPs in a docket you will not suffer from bad reputation or even get disbarred
