Gemini version available ♊︎Been There, Done That: Team UPC’s ‘October’ Becomes ‘Early November’ and Now Late November
It’s always “just around the corner” (yet so far away)
Summary: The optimists self-serving litigation fanatics who mislead their customers are still at it; Bristows says that UPC has no issues other than “delay”
LAST night we noticed the pseudonyms of Bristows (typically them) writing some face-saving nonsense about the UPC. Bristows writing about itself and referring to itself as a source? That would not be the first. The blog post said about the UPCA: “It is one of the issues that on the agenda of the legal committee for 25 November 2020, which was published today. According to this report of Bristows, the draft bill will also be considered in the Committee for Affairs of the EU and the Budget Committee, after which the (leading) legal committee will submit a report and recommendation to the Bundestag.”
“At some point people need to learn to ignore the “boy who cries ‘wolf’…” (which is what Bristows is; only one or at most two people at Bristows still publicly lie about the UPC).”Bristows again. They told us this would happen in October and then early November, did they not? Now it’s late November. Early November? No. Late? Maybe. Wait till it becomes December and then 2021. It’s always “coming soon”… since 2013 or thereabout. Maybe even 2007.
To their credit, the post says: “However, it seems likely that – after the constitutional complaint that was filed in 2017 by patent lawyer Ingve Stjerna – a new constitutional complaint will be filed as soon as the parliamentary procedure is completed [notice how they wrongly presume it would go smoothly], this time by the FFII. Dr. Stjerna has also left open the possibility of filing a new complaint. This could further delay the entry into force of the system, or mean the end of it.”
“This could further delay…”
Yeah, right…
Quite frankly, the Kluwer Patent Blog nonsense contains a lot more information in its comments (than the jingoistic, self-serving posts).
The German Bundestag and the ministry of injustice have been speaking about this since summer. And where is the UPC/A now? Nowhere.
We should really start taking more screenshots, not just video clips, of all the lies told to us over the years. Two years ago Bristows was spreading false rumours about the FCC complaint being dismissed by Christmas of 2018. Did that happen? Hell no. Both the outcome and timing were completely wrong. At some point people need to learn to ignore the “boy who cries ‘wolf’…” (which is what Bristows is; only one or at most two people at Bristows still publicly lie about the UPC). █
