Summary: The EPO's numbers, which Benoît Battistelli arrogantly bragged about (granting more monopolies by disregarding the EPC), are falling sharply under António Campinos and they're hoping that European software patents disguised as "4IR" or "Hey Hi" (AI, amongst other misused or misleading buzzwords) will somehow prevent the bubble from imploding; today they pretended -- yet again (warning: epo.org link) -- to cherish the EPC using their enlarged kangaroo court and they're working to replace common courts with more kangaroo courts by breaking the law, violating constitutions, and corrupting international conventions

EARLIER today we started the series that we first introduced at the start of the week. The series concerns an "open secret" that EPO staff is well aware of. The EPO is running out of steam because of corrupt management, not in spite of it. It is being destroyed from the inside and in the process it takes down the European economy, curtails justice in Europe, harms the reputation of the EU, and destroys the lives of thousands of employees' families. History might look back kindly at Jorge Campinos, whereas his son, who refers to himself as "the f***ing president", will be remembered as little but a high-profile criminal who boasted about his crime while regulators stood by, clapping and bagging bribes from the criminal.

"Overview and some background information is included in the long video above, assuming the audience isn't familiar or barely familiar with the EPO and with patent law."In just a few years António the criminal is undoing a lifetime of his dad's (Jorge) legacy. More details to come. "Organised crime" aptly describes what we're witnessing here. It's outright plunder.

Overview and some background information is included in the long video above, assuming the audience isn't familiar or barely familiar with the EPO and with patent law.

Expect at least a dozen parts and about a dozen videos to come about this crucial topic and still-ongoing crisis.
