Summary: A quick look at today's (or this afternoon's) Public Relations efforts of the EPO

SO THE EPO has decided to double down on software patents in Europe, but it won't say that in these words. Watchtroll (Rebecca Tapscott) has just published "EPO Study Examines Trends in Fourth Industrial Revolution Technologies" and it's not the first such piece in recent days (second or third from that site alone). Those are EPO-connected spinners who published puff pieces for and by Team Battistelli, as we noted here before.

Another ridiculous photo op of António Campinos was published earlier today in the EPO's site (probably just a few hours ago; their CMS is strange/lousy with timestamps). More than 1 'news' item per day got published since the strike (which is less than a day away) was first announced to Campinos and his cohorts. Someone is very nervous, that's for sure, so they have just published (warning: epo.org link) this photo of 'Tony', who can speak Portuguese (but his mother's tongue is French). The video is actually 4 days old, so the whole anniversary might be older. What else happened 4-5 days ago? Oh, yeah... ask SUEPO. ⬆
