Not Even Scabs Can Save EPO Management

Summary: Having published the message from the union, I now interject my personal interpretation of the situation; I've decided to do a video or several videos about the subject (maybe a lot more to come), mostly because the general public or even some patent applicants have been misinformed by media inside the EPO's (its management's) pockets

THE video above is long, but it covers many aspects of the state of patent law with focus on the EPO and what happened to the EPO under the regime of Benoît Battistelli and his younger sidekick from France/Portugal. 'Strike Regulations' aren't legal and so-called 'Social' 'Democracy' (misnomers) also has legal lapses. French politicians have already openly stated that this regime severely tarnishes the image of France all around the world; in the EPO, those French dictators even attack French staff (like Prunier). It's not about nationality but about total domination and violation of all the laws on behalf of patent litigation firms and multinational corporations (those who also lobby for the illegal UPC!). Yes, it's about money. And they're willing to lower the salary of patent examiners by as much as 80%.



"EPO management has been concerned about our level of access to internal insights/information, not because it's illegal but because it embarrasses those who break the law and then hide behind a veil of "immunity"..."The video above shows the action calendar [PDF] and instructions in English [PDF] or in German [PDF] (most of those who participate are physically based in Germany).

"There must be consequences for people who break the law, more so if they do it consciously."Where did we get these documents from? Well, duh. A lot of internal material is being sent to us by staff, as thousands already saw it already and there's a need for the general public to know what's going on. EPO management has been concerned about our level of access to internal insights/information, not because it's illegal but because it embarrasses those who break the law and then hide behind a veil of "immunity"...

If we do not stand for (and protect) the rule of law in EPOnia (Munich), it will be lost or gradually eroded universally. There must be consequences for people who break the law, more so if they do it consciously.

"Pulses and impulses both come from the heart."
