Juve Survey: Stakeholders Want Benoît Battistelli Out

Posted in Europe, Patents at 8:02 am by Dr. Roy Schestowitz

But will Benoît Battistelli’s chinchilla listen and belatedly take action?

Benoît Battistelli in Juve

Summary: A new survey reveals that EPO stakeholders, such as applicants, attorneys etc., are just about as fed up with the abusive autocracy of Benoît Battistelli as staff of the EPO has been

A LEADING Web site for lawyers/attorneys in Germany wrote about the EPO a few days ago, as we pointed out last night, kindly asking for a translation of it. Someone stepped up to the challenge and produced the following (the rest is behind a paywall):

PATENT-SURVEY

Precise Mandate

The new patent system of the European Union shall start in 2017. After considerable arguments about the European Patent Office (EPO) and the planned Unified Patent Court (UPC), the way thereto is clear now. But industry remains concerned and expresses clear expectations to the responsible parties in the 2016 JUVE Patent Survey. It wants a functioning and uniform court system, as well as a a different style of leadership at the EPO – if necessary without its current president Benoît Battistelli.

Unfortunately, this introduction promotes the myth of UPC becoming a reality soon. Leaving that aside for today, the interesting part is about Battistelli, who rumours used to say wanted to become the head of the UPC (once he is done destroying the EPO and making a lot of examiners redundant). █

  8. António Campinos Promotes Software Patents Using Buzzwords and Sketchy Loopholes With Dubious Legal Basis

    ‘Monopoly Tony’ (António Campinos) is shamelessly manipulating EPO processes at both ends (sender and receiver) to facilitate the illegal granting of invalid European software patents; we’re meant to think this former EU official and imposter (banker) is some guru in the sciences because he reads a lousy speech crafted for him with lots of meaningless buzzwords peppered all over it (he’s not good at reading it, either)

  21. It Took Campinos Three or More Years to Undo Illegal Battistelli Actions on Boards of Appeal and Strike Regulations (Only After Losing at ILO-AT!), But He Does Not Mention That

    Let’s all remember that as the EPO‘s so-called ‘President’ António Campinos (Monopoly Tony) vigorously defended completely unlawful actions of Benoît Battistelli until courts compelled him to stop doing that (Strike Regulations); notice how, in the video above — a portion of this full clip from several months ago — he did not bother mentioning that for 3.5 years that he had “led” the Office the Boards of Appeal were in exile, in direct violation of the EPC, yet nobody is being held accountable for it
