MORE than 8 years ago Christian Bock played a role in approval of unlawful EPO regulations on behalf of Switzerland. Did he have a deep understanding of patents at the time? It does not seem so. As it turns out, in his home country Switzerland (though he's German originally) Bock has been the subject of numerous controversies. Long story short, he's being put in charge of institutions he has no grasp or no real understanding of. He's being paid a huge salary to manage people who don't respect him and don't like him (shades of Frenchmen Benoît Battistelli and António Campinos) and the above video discusses Part 10, which we've only just published. We'll continue our coverage of the 'Bockgates' tomorrow. ⬆
