Are Lawsuits Over EPO Corruption Next?
Earlier this week: Very Large EPO Applicants Now Threaten a Boycott of the EPO (the EPO Management is Trying to Bribe Them to Change Their Plans/Minds While Hiding It From Staff)
The EPO, unlike the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), is unjustifiably immune and its executives also have diplomatic immunity, which they've long exercised to get away with serious crimes in places like Croatia. This means they're exceptionally hard to sue (or it's very hard chase them) unless they commit mass murder or something that bad (suicide clusters a la Benoît Battistelli apparently don't count, except if you work for some French telecom giant, which lacks immunity). António Campinos came from the EU, just like Michel Barnier. Battistelli, Campinos and Barnier are all French and all have played a considerable role in pushing illegal and unconstitutional patent courts. What level of damage have they done to the EU's reputation and are grotesque acts like these causing people to vote for Brexit and demand similar exits in other European countries? At no point should we assert that it's OK to violate laws and constitutions in the name of "unity" - wherein "unity" just means "easier for patent trolls to sue Europeans in unison".
This has been the most tragic development in the patent realm in Europe... perhaps in decades. So now, in addition to having a patent office that commits crimes every day its actions are assessed by a so-called "court" (UPC) that exists against the law.
Will there be a lawsuit? Well, we filed two last Friday [1, 2], but they had nothing to do with patents.
"We will soon need to do the same with UPC," one reader told us, as "this monster should not be alive if politicians would care about the "Rule of Law"."
"I want to draft an open letter about Barnier, the fact that the EPO probably bought the reform via the recruitment of Frohlinger in exchange of the EU not participating is totally insane. The European Commission coming to the conclusion that the EU cannot participate in the project as a conclusion of Opinion 1/09 is a very creative reading, as there is nothing in there that prevent it. It's now obvious that it is the EPO had an interest not having its little Eponia kingdom not being under the realm of the CJEU."
The corruption here is so profound that, as far as patents in Europe are concerned, the court (i.e. the legal system) is an illegality. It operates outside the rule of laws and in violation of constitutions. Why does the mainstream media not cover it? Well, duh, check who sponsors it and what for. █
