The Illegally 'Revised' Unified Patent Court Agreement (UPCA) is Disgracing the Perception of Law and Order in the European Union

Summary: The Unified Patent Court (UPC) isn't legal, the Unified Patent Court Agreement (UPCA) is being altered on the fly (by a person patently ineligible to do so), and so it generally looks like even patent courts across Europe might soon become as corrupt as the European Patent Office, which has no basis in the Rule of the Law and is basically just a front for large corporations (most of them aren't even European)

THE MEDIA does not talk about it or very seldom touches the topic (maybe for fear of 'discrediting' the EU, i.e. "helping Putin"). But one need not be a "EU hater" or EUrosceptic to point out that the European Commission knowingly does -- at least in the patent domain -- what's illegal, unconstitutional, and in direct violation of international conventions.



"In the era of Benoît Battistelli we still had some functioning media in Europe. The systematic obliteration of the press means that ordinary Europeans barely understand what goes on. That ought to change."The above video discusses a FFII press release that succinctly dissects the latest jaw-dropping move from Klaus Grabinski, an associate of António Campinos and a close ally of the German government (milking the EPO cow).

In the era of Benoît Battistelli we still had some functioning media in Europe. The systematic obliteration of the press means that ordinary Europeans barely understand what goes on. That ought to change.
