How Much Longer Can the EPO Deny That It Has a Patent Quality and Patent Legitimacy Crisis?

Summary: The EPO has a legal and technical crisis, but it is talking about natural disasters like earthquakes in order to change the subject and act like a political party, not a patent office (it also does greenwashing this month)

QUALITY of EPO-granted patents is a longstanding theme here. Staff has warned about this for years and Kluwer now reports on the issue (focus on the comments), probably more than 5 years late. SUEPO, the staff union, has been cautioning about this for nearly a decade already!



"The corrupt management does everything it can to hide the grim reality — to the point of even exploiting the devastating earthquakes."The video above talks about the issue and then shows the latest propaganda from the EPO's official site. The corrupt management does everything it can to hide the grim reality -- to the point of even exploiting the devastating earthquakes. If Benoît Battistelli habitually exploited crises including earthquakes for self-serving propaganda in the EPO's Web site, why can't António Campinos too?
