Team UPC and Other UPC Boosters Twist the Facts, Deliberately Lie and Rely on De Facto 'Moles' in Powerful Roles/Seats

Don't think they've given up just yet!

Alan Johnson on Alan Johnson "Alan Johnson. Retired - former partner at Bristows." (According to his LinkedIn profile)



Summary: The lies spread by Team UPC (individuals looking to gain from a litigation epidemic) have done these individuals no favours; not only did they lie to the public for many years but they also continue to lie -- more shamelessly than ever before -- while seeking to embellish what they told us (and their clients) to profit in the short run

THE demise of justice in Europe is oftentimes obvious and increasingly evident. And no, it's not limited to some Balkan countries and autocrats like Orbán. As we see in the European Patent Office (EPO), it's happening at the very center of Munich/Bavaria and there's a Mediterranean element to it as well (e.g. Team Campinos/Battistelli). Nobody can blame this on one particular country or a part of Europe. The German government has been largely complicit, as was the Commission and other Brussels 'elites'. We also noted yesterday that judges relocated from Munich to Haar aren't enjoying any real independence. The thugs based in the Office pressure them to allow software patents in Europe, serving to highlight the lack of improvement. There's no real separation of powers, there's just... power.



"Accordingly — and perhaps even expectedly — censorship of dissenting comments increased and comments became more dismissive of the propaganda"Around midday on Saturday someone anonymous (likely just Bristows veiled over at Kluwer again) posted yet more UPC promotion, amplifying pure fiction, as one might expect (‘London can delay plan B for a UP system without the UK’). Well, the signal is, as usual, in the comments. The introductory paragraph states:

Full support for the Unified Patent Court Agreement, complete rejection, long lists with points of concern. The German government has published the reactions to its consultation on the new draft ratification bill for the UPCA.


Input was encouraged from patent maximalists; for anybody else (who actually knows what's going on) it wasn't simple to submit input. There was an attempt to change that. But let's face it, most people aren't aware of what's going on and Team UPC is eager to exploit this. The above post from Kluwer is just one of many pieces of misinformation.

"We wish Team UPC good luck discrediting itself."We've been writing about UP/UPC/UPCA for well over a decade (even before it was known by those names/acronyms). It was rather clear all along who was driving this agenda and why. The lies aren't a new thing, but after Brexit, then the constitutional complaint and finally the ruling from the FCC we've been seeing a sharp increase in the severity/extremity of these lies. Accordingly -- and perhaps even expectedly -- censorship of dissenting comments increased and comments became more dismissive of the propaganda. Team UPC was starting to expose its true self -- a bunch of dishonest, manipulative, selfish and greedy bunch which doesn't care about the law and is eager to break the law, along with constitutions all across Europe.

Alan Johnson at BristowsWe wish Team UPC good luck discrediting itself. Right now, in the 'pandemic summer' of 2020, anyone who's still cheering for the UPC while claiming it to be imminent will pay for it dearly in future credibility/reputation. From what we can gather, Bristows lost quite a few people over it (they're either eerily silent or have left the firm).
