Summary : A new year’s reminder that the EPO has only one legitimate union, the Staff Union of the EPO (SUEPO), whereas FFPE-EPO serves virtually no purpose other than to attack SUEPO, more so after signing a deal with the devil (Battistelli)

S OMEONE recently sent us a copy of a report on the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) [PDF], which we had written about earlier that year. The report is not secret; in fact, a lot of EPO

EPO Select Committee is Wrong About the Unitary Patent (UPC)

Posted in Deception, Europe, Patents at 9:40 am by Dr. Roy Schestowitz

… Patent System

Summary : The UPC is neither desirable nor practical, especially now that the EPO lowers patent quality; but does the Select Committee understand that?

T he EPO ‘s Web site describes the Select Committee’s mission as follows: “The legal basis for the Select Committee is Article 9(2) of Regulation (EU) No 1257/2012 (“the Regulation”) and Article 145 EPC. The committee has been set up by the 25 member states participating in the unitary patent, to supervise …

2016: The Year EPO Staff Went on Strike, Possibly “Biggest Ever Strike in the History of the EPO.”

Posted in Europe, Patents at 2:30 pm by Dr. Roy Schestowitz

… this poster with a list of requests.

Summary : A look back at a key event inside the EPO, which marked somewhat of a breaking point for Team Battistelli

T HE EPO ‘s management lies. It lies a lot. It kept telling the media that only a disgruntled minority was complaining and that there were no strikes (saying nothing about a lot of protests in 2015). Battistelli is an emperor of lies, the Liar in Chief as we often call him, and his staff generally knows this. Almost …

Open EPO Letter Bemoans Battistelli’s Antisocial Autocracy Disguised/Camouflaged Under the Misleading Term “Social Democracy”

Posted in Deception, Europe, Patents at 2:01 pm by Dr. Roy Schestowitz

… regime…

Reference : Social democracy

Summary : Orwellian misuse of terms by the EPO, which keeps using the term “social democracy” whilst actually pushing further and further towards a totalitarian regime led by ‘King’ Battistelli

S TAFF of the EPO is suffering. Staff representatives suffer even more.

The following Open Letter, published earlier this year, helps reveal just to what extent the union-busting activities of Battistelli have contributed to fear …

EPO’s Central Staff Committee Complains About Battistelli’s Bodyguards Fetish and Corruption of the Media

Posted in Europe, Patents at 12:12 pm by Dr. Roy Schestowitz

… 100,000 Euros each?! ( mysterious contract with private firm )

Summary : Even the EPO’s Central Staff Committee (not SUEPO) understands that Battistelli brings waste and disgrace to the Office

A document published internally by the Central Staff Committee was recently leaked to us [PDF]. Part of this document is in German, but the majority is in English and it deals primarily with financial aspects although staff representatives correctly point out that patent …

German Justice Minister Heiko Maas, Who Flagrantly Ignores Serious EPO Abuses, Helps Battistelli’s Agenda (‘Reform’) With the UPC

Posted in Europe, Patents at 1:42 pm by Dr. Roy Schestowitz

… too long ago that we mentioned Heiko Maas in relation to his complicity, by inaction, in EPO scandals. He has received so many letters (and copies of letters) about the situation, yet he seems to be deaf in both ears and blind in both eyes. It’s like everything about the EPO goes right into his shredder as a matter of policy.

Suffice to say, Germany has plenty to gain from the UPC because it cements Germany’s near-monopoly on EU-wide patents. It does to prosecution what was …

The EPO Under Benoît Battistelli Makes the Mafia Look Like Rookies

Posted in Europe, Patents, Rumour at 4:29 pm by Dr. Roy Schestowitz

… that is imminent, Paranoid in Chief Benoît Battistelli is alleged to have pursued weapons on EPO premises

T HE endless EPO scandals mean that the EPO is full of secrets but not full of surprises as nothing — however appalling — is surprising anymore. People from special services and the military are being recruited by Battistelli, making the EPO look like a warzone rather than something scientific.

“The EPO is becoming a madhouse by the day,” said a new comment from …

Posted in Europe, Patents at 4:01 pm by Dr. Roy Schestowitz

Toxic work environment has destroyed the quality of the EPO’s work and nobody can even be held accountable?

By Factio popularis Europaea, CC BY 2.0

Summary : A look at actions taken at a political level against the EPO in spite of the EPO’s truly awkward exemption from lawfulness or even minimal accountability

E ARLIER TODAY we leaked a letter which had been sent to Quality Support (DQS) at the European Patent Office ( EPO ), …
