EPO Quality Down Along With Productivity

Summary: The EPO‘s “production line” of granted monopolies (carte blanche from Frenchmen Benoît Battistelli and António Campinos) shows that the EPO no longer serves or behaves like a patent office; it’s just run like a bank for the sole purpose of revenue extraction’s maximisation (at the expense of the European population — the externality)
IN Part II of the ongoing series we showed that the bubble is already bursting. The never-ending flow of monopolies (granted with minimal scrutiny due to a lack of time) is corrosive, damaging to the economy and in violation of the EPC.
In the process, the EPO creates a “class” of plunderers, people who notoriously “print money” (extortionate hourly rates) for having gained “access” to the “monopoly machine”. It grants monopolies and it suggests to applicants that they should always process applications through these middlemen (a “class” of career-climbing suit-wearing failed scientists or corrupt officials who can't be bothered to pass exams).
Today in the EPO’s Web site they advertise a “Website” (it’s not actually a Web site at all, it’s just this page) for another diploma mill.
Putting aside the catastrophe ahead (a ton of fake, invalid patents, or papers not compliant w.r.t. EPC), we’re facing a number of other catastrophes, including the eroded legitimacy of the EU. As a reader reminded us this week: “Breton did not answer to the Breyer question, meaning they know there is a problem but do not want to act for obvious reasons.”
European software patents are in effect fake/bogus patents, irrespective of acronyms like CII, 4IR, and AI. As we shall show later in the series, the EPO is betting on hundred of thousands of such illegitimate patents to mask the bursting of the bubble. Campinos is a low-grade white-collar criminal who wears a smile to the cameras (but not staff, whom he curses and insults). █
