Gemini version available ♊︎The Preparatory Committee of the UPC Does Not Decide for Constitutional Courts
“Donald Trump has told 4140 false stories, made 12,538 untrue statements, and proposed 1177 unfulfilled promises as of late May 2019,” said an article this morning. Sounds like Team UPC.
Summary: The latest stunt from Team UPC is rather shallow, but JUVE decided to play along anyway
“The Preparatory Committee of the UPC has re-opened its judicial recruitment programme. Now rumours fly in the patent community,” JUVE’s main person wrote in this UPC advocacy site that boosts and amplifies Team UPC. “How soon will the German Constitutional Court decide on the UPC complaint?”
Déjà vu all over again. Remember when they said, based on no evidence whatsoever, that there would be a decision by Christmas of last year? They deliberately lie; not even bothering with the burden of proof.
The Preparatory Committee of the UPC can do what it wants with recruitment, even as nothing but a stunt for publicity like this article which boosts Team UPC (Alexander Ramsay and Kevin Mooney from Simmons & Simmons), including lots of stuff from Bristows LLP.
“The patent microcosm is imploding. That’s why it wants profound changes to US patent law and it also wants the UPC in Europe (seeing that national courts keep throwing out European Patents)…”“This is all based on a photo of a screen and 3 posts from Bristows in several blogs it completely or partly controls,” I told him. “Surely a respected publisher like JUVE can tell the difference between lobbying and publicity stunts (or ‘rumours’ with motivation to pressure [Germany's] FCC). UPC has been all rumours and false predictions for how many years? At least 5. At some stage you ignore the boy who cried wolf, esp. if you’re an honest journalist.”
It’s just so much like the paid-for publicity stunts from IAM. Earlier today this post from IAM (re)appeared and was titled “Inside the rapidly changing global market for patent legal services”
By “changing” IAM means declining (yes, decline too is a change). The patent microcosm is imploding. That’s why it wants profound changes to US patent law and it also wants the UPC in Europe (seeing that national courts keep throwing out European Patents) — a subject we’ll deal with in our next post. █
