Team Battistelli Keeps Lying About Judges and Staff Representatives in Order to Decapitate EPO Staff and Even the 'Independent' Boards of Appeal

Sending a warning shot the boards' way (Chairman of the Enlarged Board of Appeal is next to go)...

Battistelli liar Source (original): Rospatent



Summary: Staff of the EPO is still fighting back against the chopper and liar in chief, Mr. Battistelli, whose flagrant disregard for the law is odious as he keeps "turning a blind eye on infringements of fundamental rights in the EPO"

LAST NIGHT we wrote about the EPO's kangaroo courts, which have become a hallmark of Battistelli's horrible, horrendous regime. The following latest comment discusses how Battistelli keeps defaming a judge whom he dislikes, using the "Nazi" bat (not the judge's club). He would have everyone laid off if he could. Instead he systematically fires/sanctions/silences all or most of the staff's representatives (a top-down approach). Nobody is safe when allegations can be made up, fabricated, or sexed up/distorted based on half-truths. There is no access to justice within the EPO or even outside of it.



"Every bit of negative publicity which the EPO has received is something that Battistelli and his goons deserve; they have done this to themselves, not just with their words but also with their actions.""Yeah," a new comment says, "so ridiculous that they were eventually dropped by the "prosecution" and did not feature in the June proceedings. However, rumour has it that a certain batty-brain keeps trotting them out at regular intervals to remind his retainers why the suspension should be maintained."

Quoting the previous message that said: "The accusations were downright ridiculous: having "objects which can be constructed as weapons" and "nazi memorabilia". The exact wording at the time fails me, but it really sounded as if they combed his office and found nothing but a pocket knife and an history book to frame him."

It wasn't a pocket knife but sporting equipment (a club). Would a tennis racket qualify as a weapon? How about a bowling bowl? For weaponry fetishes look no further than Jesper Kongstad and his political friends who like to murder large animals for reaction/leisure (we covered this in the morning).

"The guy is a chronic liar and as time goes by he needs to lie more and more (keeping up with previous lies), to the point where almost every sentence out of his mouth is a lie..."Every bit of negative publicity which the EPO has received is something that Battistelli and his goons deserve; they have done this to themselves, not just with their words but also with their actions. "Is it just me," I publicly asked earlier today, "or has someone else noticed that a lot of the media distances itself from/avoids Battistelli for fear of reputation damage?" The guy is a chronic liar and as time goes by he needs to lie more and more (keeping up with previous lies), to the point where almost every sentence out of his mouth is a lie (see this latest interview with him).

We have meanwhile been learning more about next week's EPO protest. "Forthcoming demonstration[s] on 13 October," we learned, are planned for The Hague (there is also a demonstration planned for Munich).

People are said to be "organizing a demonstration on 13 October at lunch time in The Hague to draw the attention of the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of The Netherlands and the Representation of the EU in The Netherlands that urgent action is needed. Letting Mr Battistelli ignore the AC resolution CA/26/16 or turning a blind eye on infringements of fundamental rights in the EPO cannot be the policy of democratic EU members states."

This coincides with the meeting of the Administrative Council. The main question on people's mind is, will Jesper Kongstad be Battistelli's lapdog, lap chinchilla, or maybe he'll finally wake up and realise he's supposed to be a watchdog?
