Courts aren't a tally or straw poll of headlines produced by (or for) patent litigation firms with a crystal clear conflict of interest
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")
It would make sense for the EU to invest in its own workers and its own software projects, more so now that there are hostile countries both to the east and to the west
EPO workers are going on strike because their salaries don't keep up with price increases and tech companies without connections in "the channel" face long delays, low availability, and high prices (no "bulk" purchases), which further solidifies monopolies.
The Local Staff Committee The Hague (LSCTH) has this new paper about Willis Towers Watson (WTW) and its annual EPO-sponsored propaganda, pretending all is well when things are clearly dire
Why does Europe's second-largest institution: 1) curtail communication among staff (including union) and 2) go out of its way to avoid obeying a court order from ILOAT in Geneva?
