Separation of powers pbliterated

Summary: One more (very detailed) explanation of how President Battistelli and his deputies cleared the way to rubber-stamping virtually every proposal of Battistelli, irrespective of input from staff or the Rule of Law

Bonus (relevant to today’s date): The EPO also took the ‘liberty’ to deny proper holidays again (see below)

No vacation at EPO

DecorWhat Else is New

  1. The Popularity of the World Wide Web is Partly Faked (Bots and Scams, Especially in Social Control Media)

    ontrary to popular misconceptions surrounding a Web 'monoculture' (therein exists a Web browser monoculture too; many used to equate the Internet with the Web and with the "Blue E"... and now Chrome), there's a lot of fakes, lots of bot activity, and alternatives to the Web are worth exploring

  3. When 50% of Slashdot's 'Linux' Section is Microsoft Marketing, EEE, and FUD

    As this minutes-old screenshot shows, Slashdot is not what many of us “geeks” remember it for

  4. Do Not Become (or Remain) Enslaved and Exploited by Microsoft GitHub

    Slavery isn’t a dirty word but a strong word — or a disturbing concept — used to convey or describe an abusive relationship between organisms — typically human beings — or between corporations and humans, e.g. the way Microsoft treats GitHub projects/users

  5. Microsoft GitHub Exposé — Part XXI — Rumours About How Microsoft Plans to Actually Make Money (Not Losses) From GitHub

    GitHub is not 'free hosting' but a ticking time bomb, a proprietary platform looking to entrap its users (serfs) inside yet more proprietary platforms (for Microsoft to become their oppressive master)

  7. [Meme] Fluffy Staff

    EPO President António Campinos is failing to ‘contain’ the media after less than 4 years at the Office, just like Benoît Battistelli around 2014

  8. Kluwer Patent Blog Belatedly Gives EPO Staff a Voice

    There are at least 2 bloggers — if not 3 people — at Kluwer Patent Blog who air grievances of EPO staff; in addition, many of the comments there blast EPO management and Team UPC and it helps change the perceptions long shaped by bribes and blackmail from EPO management

  9. [Meme] Fluffy President

    Prepare for more puff pieces and fluff from President Fluffinos, who has commandeered the EPO‘s official Web site for self-serving whitewash and promotion of illegal agenda like European software patents and a kangaroo court to approve those (UPC)

  10. Blaming Patent Examiners Who Respect the Law

    The latest comments here are quite revealing; the EPO not only breaks the law with impunity but it also challenges the very legal system (like courts) with total impunity; Benoît Battistelli and António Campinos are, in that regard, no better than Putin, just more temperamental

  16. Visual Proof That Twitter Very Likely Faked Its Magnitude the Moment Musk et al (KSA, Ellison and so on) Wanted to Buy

    There's a very compelling case for the allegation that Twitter is defrauding shareholders and participants in the platform; Twitter is a lot smaller than it used to be (fewer people are actively involved), it is losing money, and it is so desperate to be acquired that it's shamelessly faking traffic

  24. EPO Celebrates Software Patents Again, Dubbing Them 'Hey Hi' (AI) and '4IR'

    The ludicrous state of the EPO is demonstrated by yesterday’s puff piece about “four million” (merely requests for monopoly in Europe; most come from outside Europe) and L’Oréal, which claims to have “invented” something that was already done in the 1990s if not the 1980s

  25. [Meme] EPO's Monkey Business: Lowering the Patent Examination Bar

    As we shall show in a moment, EPO President António Campinos has lowered the quality of patents and applications; sooner or later he might outsource the job to ‘livestock’

    The overconfident chiefs of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) and EPO might love speaking about COVID-19 (in relation to patents), but they do not take it seriously themselves

  29. The General Consultative Committee of the EPO Exposes a Disaster and a Lack of Genuine Dialogue

    The General Consultative Committee (GCC) at the EPO deals with unlawful proposals from António Campinos (he’s happy to violate laws, constitutions, protocols, conventions, just like Benoît Battistelli did) and once again the abuses by managers is covered up; it’s as if the Office is run by unaccountable gangsters who arrogantly curse at everyone whilst insisting they’re the nicest people ever

  30. The Latest Letter to Josef Kratochvìl and the Heads of Delegation of the Administrative Council of the European Patent Organisation

    A week-old letter from the Central Staff Committee (CSC) to the Administrative Council of the European Patent Organisation highlights the nature of a crisis; there's no genuine dialogue and staff of the EPO (i.e. the scientists who do all the actual work) is constantly under attack
