Summary: The European Patent Convention (EPC), which was supposed to govern the EPO‘s conduct, is being desecrated by Benoît Battistelli and António Campinos, who then boast about it in the EPO’s official Web site. Their Kangaroo Court (EBoA), besieged and occupied by their operatives, is complicit in this plot and technical staff of the EPO issued a "Call for a Conference of Ministers of Contracting States under Article 4a EPC" (whilst at the same time pointing out many obvious violations of the EPC).

THE reason crime flourishes and has become so prevalent in the EPO is the lack of oversight and disdain for the law (national law, European law, constitutions and international treaties). Today’s EPO is basically run by a crime syndicate that thinks of the EPO like a bank, cashing in by handing out hundreds of thousands of invalid monopolies to large corporations (most of which aren’t even European; many of these are bogus software patents).

“Notice how nobody in the media writes about how outrageous this is; it’s considered “old news” that the EPO violates the very treaty upon which it’s permitted to operate.”Hours ago the EPO volleyed some puff piece (warning: epo.org link) and for the second time in about a month Campinos is using Peru by chatting to someone from Peru over the phone. Meanwhile the EPO wastes literally millions of euros (at the expense of users and staff) bribing the media for puff pieces about EIA; the EPO even writes the articles itself, takes the photos etc. before handing over the “camera-ready” SPAM to publishers with wider circulation than the EPO’s site. The misconduct of the EPO when it comes to the media is connected to the media’s reluctance to publish information about EPO corruption — incidentally one of the reasons we’ve dumped Google News (it’s full of spam and easily gamed to promote intentional lies). I started using Google News almost 20 years ago and leveraged it to follow software patent news since around 2006/7. The deterioration of journalism and Google News became evident over time.

But the key thing that the EPO may have looked to distract from is this self-congratulatory piece (warning: epo.org link) about the Kangaroo Court, making totally false assertions while outsourcing EPO tribunals to American companies. Notice how nobody in the media writes about how outrageous this is; it’s considered “old news” that the EPO violates the very treaty upon which it’s permitted to operate. █
