Bonum Certa Men Certa

Another New Low for the EPO and Battistelli (Updated)

Maybe they can do some 'knowledge transfer' regarding purges

Battistelli and Cambodia



Summary: Benoît Battistelli keeps scraping the bottom of the barrel by meeting with notorious tyrants and leaders from nations which have virtually nothing to do with the EPO (no patents)

YESTERDAY the EPO reinforced our observation that Battistelli has turned the EPO into something that nobody wishes to be associated with, not even in the world of politics. The exceptions are typically tyrants or politicians from notorious countries that have virtually no European Patents (e.g. in Latin America).



"One can judge an Office and a President based on the company s/he keeps..."From the country best known for Pol Pot (studied in Paris, just like Battistelli) and French colonisation we now have this new Battistelli charade [caution: EPO can probably track clicks on this]. It's almost as if people from respected nations don't want to be seen with Battistelli (not anymore), so he races to the bottom for photo ops. Can someone from the EPO (or from patent agents) please check for us how many European Patents exist in the database from Cambodia? According to the EPO's media people, "EPO President Benoît Battistelli hosted the delegation, which was led by Senior Minister Cham Prasidh, Minister of Industry and Handicraft, and also included Cambodia's Ambassador to Germany, Thai Chun."

We look forward to Battistelli's IP talks with Iran, North Korea, and maybe even Libya. One can judge an Office and a President based on the company s/he keeps...

Update: it has meanwhile come to our attention that the number of European Patents from Cambodia is 0. Yes, zero! Well done, Battistelli.
