This Week We Focus Again on European Patent Office (EPO) Scandals

Posted by Roy Schestowitz on Dec 09, 2024

Get ready!

Nothing can stop us, not even a party or SLAPP

WHEN we covered EPO scandals at the end of last month we highlighted some political aspect (e.g. "D&I: Gender-neutral language"), but this week we'll be covering employment and patent aspects. Having begun this in-depth series in the summer of 2014 (over a decade ago, no kidding!), we do not plan to stop or slow down. I've been writing a lot about patents for well over 20 years.

The EPO still employs some very smart people; some of them become whistleblowers, as they put morality first (ahead of immediate financial comfort). They do not measure their "success" or "worth" (as people) based on money. The EPO's corrupt regime has already cost many SMEs and people in Europe their life savings if not more. The EPO's corrupt regime is a major contributor to inequality worldwide, not just in Europe. The illegal patent tribunals merely serve to highlight rotting of the EU. If nothing gets done to rectify things, there will be no EU left. It can collapse very quickly, just like the leadership in France, Germany, South Korea, and now Syria.

Our first part or installment for this week shall commence later tonight. █
