When It Comes to UPC, EPO is Still Stuck in Pre-Brexit Mindset (More Than Half a Decade in the Past)

Summary: The sheer lunacy of Team UPC is up on display and the EPO links to a "webinar" from 5.5 years ago; they're still living in a fantasy world

THE "DAILY Links" here (been posed in this site since 2007) contain some examples of the latest deception from Team UPC. It's not entirely shocking considering how they have been doing this for so many years and each time, eventually, it turned out they were wrong. They're intentionally lying; it is a lobbying technique. Read the 14 comments here for timely rebuttals (responses to the latest bunch of nonsense). In the past we were alone, a lone voice with rebuttals, but nowadays these rebuttals are everywhere that's not dominated by Team UPC (although it got caught censoring readers' comments as well).



Wouter PorsThe video above focuses on this old page (warning: epo.org link) that the EPO recommends to people, just two clicks from the front page. Apparently a "webinar" (opt-in commercial) from almost 6 years ago is what EPO management deems relevant to readers.

When it comes to the UPC, we find the whole thing almost amusing at this point because law firms shamelessly lie to their clients (on average we capture and enlist a new example almost once per day) and it's like a broken record/old telephone that almost always promises it'll happen "next year!" Right, Wouter Pors? We're nearly in 2022 and this (below) is what you said in 2014:
