EPO Has Lost Sight of Its Very Purpose

Summary: In spite of bribes (to media, even to academia) and blackmail tactics, the simple facts indicate that the EPO is a law-breaking institution that has already become a massive liability to the European Union and is actively harming the European population

THE new "Mafia look" of Benoît Battistelli won’t fool so many of us. Trying to buy a new identity of himself, after destroying the EPO and leaving it in the hands of his saboteur António Campinos?

Now is a great time to talk about the corruption of Battistelli, who uses CEIPI for his UPC fronting/lobbying (trying to break the legal system like he broke the patent office).

Battistelli with beardA French site for independent inventors (not multinationals gaming the patent systems by accounting for 2 out of 3 European Patents) has meanwhile taken note [PDF] of what Battistelli did [PDF] (the text is in French). Update: we now have this automated (machine) English translation. [PDF]

“I admit that is an old story,” the person who sent this to us noted. “But after the decisions of the ILOAT, it may be wise to have a closer look at these old stories. Battistelli and his clowns are responsible for the mess… are you aware of this publication?”

It’s never too late to catch up, even if the foreign (to me incomprehensible) language is a barrier. We’ve made a local copy of the PDF. It has highlights in it.

And “BTW,” the person added. “Look a the new look of old Moronistelli at the pages of Saint Germain en Laye, doesn’t he look inoffensive with a beard? Just like father Christmas…”

“Battistelli is no longer immune and maybe he can be held accountable, not just for Alexandre Benalla but for many other things.”Below we’ve added the full index of the series that ended half a day ago. Battistelli is no longer immune and maybe he can be held accountable, not just for Alexandre Benalla but for many other things. █

  1. Standard Life (Phoenix Group Holdings): Three Weeks to Merely Start Investigating Pension Fraud (and Only After Repeated Reminders From the Fraud's Victims)

    As the phonecall above hopefully shows (or further elucidates), Standard Life leaves customers in a Kafkaesque situation, bouncing them from one person to another person without actually progressing on a fraud investigation

  2. Standard Life Paper Mills in Edinburgh

    Standard Life is issuing official-looking financial papers for companies that then use that paperwork to embezzle staff

  3. Pension Fraud Investigation Not a High Priority in Standard Life (Phoenix Group Holdings)

    The 'Open Source' company where I worked for nearly 12 years embezzled its staff; despite knowing that employees were subjected to fraud in Standard Life's name, it doesn't seem like Standard Life has bothered to investigate (it has been a fortnight already; no progress is reported by management at Standard Life)

  7. An Update on Sirius 'Open Source' Pensiongate: It's Looking Worse Than Ever

    It's starting to look more and more like pension providers in the UK, including some very major and large ones, are aiding criminals who steal money from their workers under the guise of "pensions"

    TRApp, term that lends its name to this article, is short for "Telescreen-Running App". It sounds just like "trap". Any similarity is not purely coincidental.

    The “Pensiongate” of Sirius ‘Open Source’ (the company which embezzled/robbed many workers for years) helps reveal the awful state of British pension providers, which are in effect enabling the embezzlement to carry on while lying to their clients
