| -TechBytesBot/#techbytes-@TangibleIP_: @FOSSpatents @schestowitz @IAM_magazine Sure the EPO like any other office has to be pragmatic but need to be mindful of wider impacts. | Oct 16 12:16 | |
| -TechBytesBot/#techbytes-@FOSSpatents: @TangibleIP_ @schestowitz @IAM_magazine The EPOrg's admin council and president don't need a provision in the EPC. It's a dictatorship. | Oct 16 12:16 | |

| schestowitz | I had already begun last night the brief summarisation the Dutch article | Oct 16 20:38 |
| schestowitz | when I saw your request, but then received some more material in the | Oct 16 20:38 |

| schestowitz | translation, together with the internal EPO communiqué which sets the | Oct 16 20:38 |
| schestowitz | tone of BB's PR strategy. | Oct 16 20:38 |
| schestowitz | I don't speak Dutch, but I grok it as it is fairly close to German, a | Oct 16 20:38 |
| schestowitz | language in which I'm very fluent. I believe that my summarisation or | Oct 16 20:38 |
| schestowitz | translation conveys the meaning of the original, but I won't swear that | Oct 16 20:38 |
| schestowitz | a native speaker wouldn't do better. | Oct 16 20:38 |

| r_schestowitz | Hi Glyn and Mike, | Oct 17 00:09 |
| r_schestowitz | Totally off the record (I won't mention you): EPO is trying to silence me and discourage me from writing about their corruption, which thousands of EPO employees know about and complain about (the EPO's management is very unpopular right now). Should I take this public, comply, tell them to withdraw or else I'd take this public? Mike has been in this situation many times before, so I'm not sure what the best path is. I can defend the claims | Oct 17 00:09 |
| r_schestowitz | that I made and defend them. | Oct 17 00:09 |
| r_schestowitz | This weekend I was going to publish a similar case where they tried to gag a critic but he refused to comply, so EPO just sort of went away and let it be... | Oct 17 00:10 |
| r_schestowitz | Any opinions appreciated (don't worry, I won't involve you in any way)... | Oct 17 00:10 |
| r_schestowitz | " | Oct 17 00:14 |
| r_schestowitz | Hey, | Oct 17 00:14 |
| r_schestowitz | technically yes, but you'd have to wait until Sunday until I could. Not enough time until then. | Oct 17 00:14 |

I'm very comfortable with the US specifics (and things like anti-SLAPP laws), and have lawyers I know I can count on to help me out. So unfortunately, I don't have much in the way of advice for you. Are there good like-minded lawyers you can reach out in the UK for their thoughts? | Oct 17 00:32 |
| r_schestowitz | > | Oct 17 00:32 |
| r_schestowitz | > Mike | Oct 17 00:32 |
| r_schestowitz | Hi Mike, thank you so much for getting back to me so fast. I really appreciate it! | Oct 17 00:32 |
| r_schestowitz | I can vaguely recall that many states in the US (not all states) have anti-SLAPP laws, whereas the UK, AFAIK, does not have these. I know the famous case of chiropractors (BSC?) v. Singh. There are also things like blogger protections (depending on definition of journalist/blogger/forums etc. and salaried/non-salaried), but I don't think the UK has those either. | Oct 17 00:32 |
| r_schestowitz | To give you some background, I have written nearly 200 articles about the EPO (for over a year). There seems to be serious institutional corruption there and this past week the British media too started covering it (in big numbers, citing Techrights), so I think they just try to intimidate or silence me. My site is already BLOCKED (for the first time in history) from within EPO offices. They clearly try to keep me quiet, but the harder they | Oct 17 00:32 |
| r_schestowitz | try, the more sources turn to me with expllosive leaks. | Oct 17 00:32 |
| r_schestowitz | I don't have contacts with lawyers who have background in this area, I'm afraid, I just know that you've been in similar situations before. | Oct 17 00:32 |
| r_schestowitz | For reactionary leverage I suppose I could invoke the Streisand Effect and let people raise awareness of what EPO is attempting to do here. That would definitely piss of the majority of EPO workers (there are around 7000 of them), and maybe lead to backing off. | Oct 17 00:32 |
| r_schestowitz | For the time being I took down the article in question; I suspect that if I let this guy get his way that would send out the wrong message, so he and his colleagues would then attempt to remove even more (while keeping me gagged over what's happening). | Oct 17 00:32 |

| r_schestowitz | There is a lot more that I could say, but in short: | Oct 17 13:17 |
| r_schestowitz | - this is intended to discourage writing (they start by nitpicking on one article, can try others later) | Oct 17 13:17 |
| r_schestowitz | - this is action from the EPO itself, not just an individual | Oct 17 13:17 |
| r_schestowitz | - SUEPO was also recently silenced, probably using a similar kind of letter, maybe from the same firm | Oct 17 13:17 |
| r_schestowitz | - yesterday, by replying to my allegations (in IAM) they (SPO spokesperson) said something which only serves to further support my allegation. This whole program was created for Microsoft because of Microsoft (EPO changed its rules in exchange for Microsoft paying a lot more money in the form of patent applications) | Oct 17 13:17 |
| r_schestowitz | - bring this to light at this stage would be unwise before legal advice is pursued | Oct 17 13:17 |
| r_schestowitz | - as posted last night, there is a long history to it. The story of unitary-patent.eu may be one of very many | Oct 17 13:17 |
| r_schestowitz | I often wonder if, after you had said you would write about this, it was your publisher that got cold feet and didn't want to touch the subject. This in itself is part of the problem. Journalists and publishers are made afraid to the point where very serious violations can go on and on. And people commit suicide... | Oct 17 13:17 |
| r_schestowitz | I have more damning information about the EPO but I keep it under the wraps because it's so damning that it would put people at risk if published. There is an atmosphere or fear and terror. I can't help but think of FIFA and VW. | Oct 17 13:17 |

| -TechBytesBot/#techbytes-@TangibleIP_: @schestowitz @IAM_magazine @FOSSpatents Again do not put words into my Tweets! Probably a resource allocation problem. 1 of EPOs issues. | Oct 16 12:06 | |
| -TechBytesBot/#techbytes-@TangibleIP_: @schestowitz @IAM_magazine @FOSSpatents This delay is a serious issue for new "real" innovators. | Oct 16 12:06 | |
| schestowitz | Whose applications are scrutinised more thoroughly with more prior art, the delay being secondary an issue. | Oct 16 12:07 |

| -TechBytesBot/#techbytes-@FOSSpatents: @schestowitz @TangibleIP_ Maybe the disagreement here is just about terminology. Mass filers get fast lane and horse trades (drop X-grant Y) | Oct 16 12:09 | |
| -TechBytesBot/#techbytes-@TangibleIP_: @schestowitz @IAM_magazine @FOSSpatents In general I have a very positive view of EPO. Exam quality is high. My concern is impact of email | Oct 16 12:09 | |
| schestowitz | Defend the quality, not the image of the office. That's like saying, let's ignore drones/torture, makes us look bad. | Oct 16 12:09 |

| schestowitz | https://twitter.com/TangibleIP_/status/654978074132553728 | Oct 16 12:15 |
| -TechBytesBot/#techbytes-@TangibleIP_: @FOSSpatents @schestowitz @IAM_magazine I don't see any provision for this in the EPC? | Oct 16 12:15 | |

| -TechBytesBot/#techbytes-@TangibleIP_: @FOSSpatents @schestowitz @IAM_magazine Sure the EPO like any other office has to be pragmatic but need to be mindful of wider impacts. | Oct 16 12:16 | |
| -TechBytesBot/#techbytes-@FOSSpatents: @TangibleIP_ @schestowitz @IAM_magazine The EPOrg's admin council and president don't need a provision in the EPC. It's a dictatorship. | Oct 16 12:16 | |
| schestowitz | https://twitter.com/TangibleIP_/status/654978852746350593 | Oct 16 12:16 |
| -TechBytesBot/#techbytes-@TangibleIP_: @schestowitz @IAM_magazine Actually delay is primary issue. I don't see massive variance in quality in final analysis. Can't speak for all | Oct 16 12:16 | |

| -TechBytesBot/#techbytes-@TangibleIP_: @schestowitz To be taken seriously have need a balanced and honest view. I'm not going to say black is white for expediency or an agenda | Oct 16 12:18 | |
| schestowitz | Patent lawyers too have an agenda. Let's not forget that. | Oct 16 12:18 |

| -TechBytesBot/#techbytes-@TangibleIP_: @schestowitz It seems to me everyone has an agenda. It's how you express it and how transparent you are that matters. Most say nothing. | Oct 16 12:23 | |

| schestowitz | https://twitter.com/TangibleIP_/status/654981566121312256 | Oct 16 12:28 |
| -TechBytesBot/#techbytes-@TangibleIP_: @schestowitz I am for effective use of patent system by SMES and startups. In interests of innovation/jobs. Could make 10x more if I wasnt. | Oct 16 12:28 | |
| schestowitz | I know some British SMEs who need and hire people like you. No multi-billion $ cash cows to guard. | Oct 16 12:28 |
| schestowitz | https://twitter.com/TangibleIP_/status/654982148982730753 | Oct 16 12:29 |
| -TechBytesBot/#techbytes-@TangibleIP_: @schestowitz I can see that. So am I. But sadly people see "lawyer" "patent attorney" and are immediately biased against what you say. | Oct 16 12:29 | |
| schestowitz | The stigma has been accentuated by NPEs and monopolists who need protection from - GASP - competition | Oct 16 12:29 |

| schestowitz | translation, together with the internal EPO communiqué which sets the | Oct 16 20:38 |
| schestowitz | tone of BB's PR strategy. | Oct 16 20:38 |
| schestowitz | I don't speak Dutch, but I grok it as it is fairly close to German, a | Oct 16 20:38 |
| schestowitz | language in which I'm very fluent. I believe that my summarisation or | Oct 16 20:38 |
| schestowitz | translation conveys the meaning of the original, but I won't swear that | Oct 16 20:38 |

| r_schestowitz | MinceR: epo tries to silence me now | Oct 17 00:09 |
| r_schestowitz | Hi Glyn and Mike, | Oct 17 00:09 |
| r_schestowitz | Totally off the record (I won't mention you): EPO is trying to silence me and discourage me from writing about their corruption, which thousands of EPO employees know about and complain about (the EPO's management is very unpopular right now). Should I take this public, comply, tell them to withdraw or else I'd take this public? Mike has been in this situation many times before, so I'm not sure what the best path is. I can defend the claims | Oct 17 00:09 |
| r_schestowitz | that I made and defend them. | Oct 17 00:09 |
| r_schestowitz | This weekend I was going to publish a similar case where they tried to gag a critic but he refused to comply, so EPO just sort of went away and let it be... | Oct 17 00:09 |
| r_schestowitz | Any opinions appreciated (don't worry, I won't involve you in any way)... | Oct 17 00:10 |
| r_schestowitz | " | Oct 17 00:14 |
| r_schestowitz | Hey, | Oct 17 00:14 |
| r_schestowitz | technically yes, but you'd have to wait until Sunday until I could. Not enough time until then. | Oct 17 00:14 |
| r_schestowitz | Regards. | Oct 17 00:14 |
| r_schestowitz | " | Oct 17 00:14 |
| r_schestowitz | Fantastic, I'll count on you then, and can give you credit if you want. The EPO is very panicky about negative press at the moment. | Oct 17 00:14 |

I'm very comfortable with the US specifics (and things like anti-SLAPP laws), and have lawyers I know I can count on to help me out. So unfortunately, I don't have much in the way of advice for you. Are there good like-minded lawyers you can reach out in the UK for their thoughts? | Oct 17 00:32 |
| r_schestowitz | > | Oct 17 00:32 |
| r_schestowitz | > Mike | Oct 17 00:32 |
| r_schestowitz | Hi Mike, thank you so much for getting back to me so fast. I really appreciate it! | Oct 17 00:32 |
| r_schestowitz | I can vaguely recall that many states in the US (not all states) have anti-SLAPP laws, whereas the UK, AFAIK, does not have these. I know the famous case of chiropractors (BSC?) v. Singh. There are also things like blogger protections (depending on definition of journalist/blogger/forums etc. and salaried/non-salaried), but I don't think the UK has those either. | Oct 17 00:32 |
| r_schestowitz | To give you some background, I have written nearly 200 articles about the EPO (for over a year). There seems to be serious institutional corruption there and this past week the British media too started covering it (in big numbers, citing Techrights), so I think they just try to intimidate or silence me. My site is already BLOCKED (for the first time in history) from within EPO offices. They clearly try to keep me quiet, but the harder they | Oct 17 00:32 |
| r_schestowitz | try, the more sources turn to me with expllosive leaks. | Oct 17 00:32 |
| r_schestowitz | I don't have contacts with lawyers who have background in this area, I'm afraid, I just know that you've been in similar situations before. | Oct 17 00:32 |
| r_schestowitz | For reactionary leverage I suppose I could invoke the Streisand Effect and let people raise awareness of what EPO is attempting to do here. That would definitely piss of the majority of EPO workers (there are around 7000 of them), and maybe lead to backing off. | Oct 17 00:32 |
| r_schestowitz | For the time being I took down the article in question; I suspect that if I let this guy get his way that would send out the wrong message, so he and his colleagues would then attempt to remove even more (while keeping me gagged over what's happening). | Oct 17 00:32 |
| r_schestowitz | Glyn, do you have any thoughts on this? | Oct 17 00:32 |
| r_schestowitz | MinceR: see above | Oct 17 00:32 |
| r_schestowitz | I got on their nerves | Oct 17 00:32 |

| r_schestowitz | OK, there's this: | Oct 17 11:32 |
| r_schestowitz | " If must be completely free, best to approach Bar Pro Bono unit, who | Oct 17 11:32 |
| r_schestowitz | will appraise it, then approach chambers to find a barrister who can do | Oct 17 11:32 |
| r_schestowitz | it for free. Alternatively, my chambers (which specialises in | Oct 17 11:32 |
| r_schestowitz | defamation) has 'Direct Access' (straight to barrister, no solicitor) | Oct 17 11:32 |
| r_schestowitz | for initial advice, which keeps initial costs to an absolute minimum. | Oct 17 11:32 |

| r_schestowitz | chambers who do defamation are xxxx, and I'm sure | Oct 17 11:32 |
| r_schestowitz | some of their barristers will do Direct Access/Public Access too. I | Oct 17 11:32 |
| r_schestowitz | haven't yet done the Direct Access training, otherwise I'd offer myself. | Oct 17 11:33 |
| r_schestowitz | If he doesn't get some help by mid next week, come back to me." | Oct 17 11:33 |
| r_schestowitz | That's from xxxx, who is a barrister and on twitter (obviously). | Oct 17 11:33 |

| r_schestowitz | I asked a food friend of mine this morning (he's a 50-y-o professor, we do shotput training together) and he seems to agree that this is a muzzling attempt. I will consult people who know the law, as per your advice, before taking any further action (I only removed the post). | Oct 17 13:17 |
| r_schestowitz | Based on the wrong name being in the letter (the address me by the wrong surname), they're on some kind of a new campaign to silence the media. I'm not the only target. I was warned about this recently. | Oct 17 13:17 |
| r_schestowitz | There is a lot more that I could say, but in short: | Oct 17 13:17 |
| r_schestowitz | - this is intended to discourage writing (they start by nitpicking on one article, can try others later) | Oct 17 13:17 |
| r_schestowitz | - this is action from the EPO itself, not just an individual | Oct 17 13:17 |
| r_schestowitz | - SUEPO was also recently silenced, probably using a similar kind of letter, maybe from the same firm | Oct 17 13:17 |
| r_schestowitz | - yesterday, by replying to my allegations (in IAM) they (SPO spokesperson) said something which only serves to further support my allegation. This whole program was created for Microsoft because of Microsoft (EPO changed its rules in exchange for Microsoft paying a lot more money in the form of patent applications) | Oct 17 13:17 |
| r_schestowitz | - bring this to light at this stage would be unwise before legal advice is pursued | Oct 17 13:17 |
| r_schestowitz | - as posted last night, there is a long history to it. The story of unitary-patent.eu may be one of very many | Oct 17 13:17 |
| r_schestowitz | I often wonder if, after you had said you would write about this, it was your publisher that got cold feet and didn't want to touch the subject. This in itself is part of the problem. Journalists and publishers are made afraid to the point where very serious violations can go on and on. And people commit suicide... | Oct 17 13:17 |
| r_schestowitz | I have more damning information about the EPO but I keep it under the wraps because it's so damning that it would put people at risk if published. There is an atmosphere or fear and terror. I can't help but think of FIFA and VW. | Oct 17 13:17 |
