Just as it recently did its propaganda with Vincent Van Quickenborne [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13], the EPO propaganda machine is latching onto Barnier, who is like Vincent Van Quickenborne when it comes to software patenting loopholes [1, 2, 3, 4]. Days ago it wrote:

Interview with EU-Commissioner Michel Barnier, right after the 2011 European Inventor Award ceremony. http://ow.ly/4Z7IZ

This links to their YouTube channel, which almost nobody subscribed to in 3 years. Apparently there is not much interest in EPO's agenda. The EPO just wants more and more patents, which are equivalent to more EPO business. ⬆
