Courts aren't a tally or straw poll of headlines produced by (or for) patent litigation firms with a crystal clear conflict of interest

Benoît Ramsay on checking legality of UPC before proceeding
In 2017 (5 years ago) Germany put UPCA on the ice; expect something similar this year (Team UPC has already shifted or shied away from saying "2022"; now it says "2023" because it has always been "some time next year")

Summary: The Unified Patent Court (UPC) and Unitary Patent system that's crafted to empower EPO thugs isn't legal and isn't constitutional either; even a thousand fake news 'articles' (deliberate misinformation or disinformation) cannot change the simple facts because CJEU isn't "trial by media" [1, 2]
