IAM ‘Magazine’, an Adjunct or Megaphone to the Battistelli Regime, Called ‘Independent’ by the EPO and Used for ‘Quality’ Propaganda

Battistelli and IAM

Summary: High-quality propaganda from Battistelli, who is attempting to bury bad news about rapidly-declining patent quality at the EPO (due to his own policies)

THE EPO is run by a truly incompetent person who thinks that he can simply buy or pay for propaganda. Apparently he does not realise the ‘allergy’ scientists have for that…

“How much lower will the EPO stoop/sink to prop up the illusion of “quality”?”IAM, which is in bed with the EPO, again rises as Battistelli’s propaganda of choice, with the latest news [sic] headline, “Independent [sic] Survey confirms [sic] EPO No.1 for quality” [sic] (don’t laugh, the EPO was even pinging IAM about it, as though it was winking at IAM).

How much lower will the EPO stoop/sink to prop up the illusion of “quality”?

Here is the direct link for those who want to risk tracking by the EPO’s management (we understand that many of our readers are past and present EPO staff).

“The EPO used to be fantastic!”Shame on IAM for remaining little more than a Battistelli mouthpiece. The corresponding ‘articles’ from them are [1, 2] (there may be more, but we’re still catching up after 3 weeks of absence).

As a side note, based on this new tweet, EPO staff keeps fleeing from the Battistelli regime, which is unable to find talent and is begging for some more job applications (not a new conundrum).

“Even the staff representatives warn prospective workers about the dangers of joining the EPO.”The EPO wrote: “Are you an engineer/ scientist interested in joining an international team at the forefront of technology?”

Well, so don’t join the EPO. The EPO used to be fantastic! I myself admitted that. But what became of the EPO is an utter disgrace at many levels. Even the staff representatives warn prospective workers about the dangers of joining the EPO. █

  2. Social Control Media Needs to be Purged and We Need to Convince Others to Quit It Too (to Protect Ourselves as Individuals and as a Society)

    With the Tux Machines anniversary (19 years) just days away we seriously consider abandoning all social control media accounts of that site, including Mastodon and Diaspora; social control networks do far more harm than good and they’ve gotten a lot worse over time

  3. Anonymously Travelling: Still Feasible?

    The short story is that in the UK it's still possible to travel anonymously by bus, tram, and train (even with shades, hat and mask/s on), but how long for? Or how much longer have we got before this too gets banned under the false guise of "protecting us" (or "smart"/"modern")?

  4. With EUIPO in Focus, and Even an EU Kangaroo Tribunal, EPO Corruption (and Cross-Pollination With This EU Agency) Becomes a Major Liability/Risk to the EU

    With the UPC days away (an illegal and unconstitutional kangaroo court system, tied to the European Union in spite of critical deficiencies) it’s curious to see EPO scandals of corruption spilling over to the European Union already

  5. European Patent Office (EPO) Management Not Supported by the EPO's Applicants, So Why Is It Still There?

    This third translation in the batch is an article similar to the prior one, but the text is a bit different (“Patente ohne Wert”)

  6. EPO Applicants Complain That Patent Quality Sank and EPO Management Isn't Listening (Nor Caring)

    SUEPO has just released 3 translations of new articles in German (here is the first of the batch); the following is the second of the three (“Kritik am Europäischen Patentamt – Patente ohne Wert?”)

  7. German Media About Industry Patent Quality Charter (IPQC) and the European Patent Office (EPO)

    SUEPO has just released 3 translations of new articles in German; this is the first of the three (“Industrie kritisiert Europäisches Patentamt”)

    A Gemini crawler called Lupa (Free/libre software) has been used for years by Stéphane Bortzmeyer to study Gemini and report on how the community was evolving, especially from a technical perspective; but his own instance of Lupa has produced no up-to-date results for several weeks

  10. HMRC: You Can Click and Type to Report Crime, But No Feedback or Reference Number Given

    The crimes of Sirius ‘Open Source’ were reported 7 days ago to HMRC (equivalent to the IRS in the US, more or less); but there has been no visible progress and no tracking reference is given to identify the report

    One week ago we reported tax abuses of Sirius ‘Open Source’ to HMRC; we still wait for any actual signs that HMRC is doing anything at all about the matter (Sirius has British government clients, so maybe they’d rather not look into that, in which case HMRC might be reported to the Ombudsman for malpractice)

    SiliconANGLE insists that paying SiliconANGLE money for coverage does not lead to bias, but every sane person who keeps abreast of SiliconANGLE — and I read their entire feed every day — knows that it’s a ludicrous lie (Red Hat/IBM and the Linux Foundation also buy puff pieces and “event coverage” from SiliconANGLE, so it’s marketing disguised as “journalism”

  25. [Meme] When the Patent Office Controls Kangaroo Patent Courts and Judges

    The EPO has been hijacked by industry and its lobbyists; now the same is happening to EU patent courts, even though it is illegal and unconstitutional

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

    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)

  29. RSS Feeds (or XML/Atom) Are Far Better Than Social Control Media, Doing It With CLI and Text Editors Works Best for Us

    Consumption (marketing term) of content (another misnomer) on the World Wide Web has been geared towards engagement (fancy term for time-wasting), so we’re trying to correct this with RSS feeds and processing of news (to Separate the Wheat From the Chaff)

  30. [Meme] The Payslip Lies

    Be wary of Sirius ‘Open Source’; They steal your pension money and give you fake (false) payslips (this was reported to HMRC last week)
