The #EPO quit caring about the #EPC a long time ago; it's just a rogue institution stealing money and gambling it away while the German government, which is complicit, turns a blind eye http://patentblog.kluweriplaw.com/2021/11/17/patent-case-liftra-aps-epo/ see http://techrights.org/2019/08/10/violating-the-epc/
Does #Nicox care to understand that #patent quality at the #EPO collapsed and many newly-granted European #Patents are invalid wrt to the #EPC and thus worthless? https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/frances-nicox-gets-patent-for-blepharitis-product-candidate-ncx-4251-in-europe see http://techrights.org/2021/03/25/epo-potential-improvements/
They also carry on pretending that the #EPC is still being followed; #EPO is so corrupt that it violates it routinely https://www.mondaq.com/uk/patent/1118716/patentability-of-known-substances-in-europe see http://techrights.org/2019/08/10/violating-the-epc/
European #Patents, which are nowadays being granted in direct violation of the #EPC , create 'business' to these convicted corrupt #lawyers (this firm was found guilty) https://www.mondaq.com/uk/patent/1128342/neurim-v-mylan-a-most-unusual-case--take-two-part-two
#EPC 2000 is obsolete and irrelevant because #EPO routinely violates it without any consequences whatsoever https://www.mondaq.com/uk/patent/1122304/royalty-pharma-v-boehringer-the-uk39s-patents-court-takes-on-the-german-law-of-licence-negotiations-and-epc-2000-purpose-limited-product-claims http://techrights.org/2019/08/10/violating-the-epc/
Example of #fakepatents like #softwarepatents being granted by the awful #EPO , which violates the #EPC every day for the sake of profit https://www.mondaq.com/uk/patent/1076680/facebook-ireland-limited-v-voxer-ip-llp #swpats

#EPO violates the #EPC every single day, yet it finds the audacity to issue this bundle of face-saving lies https://www.epo.org/news-events/news/2021/20211029.html see http://techrights.org/2019/08/10/violating-the-epc/ #europe
Almost 6PM now, no update for today from #nhs re #covid19 numbers. This is like the FOURTH day in a row they're failing at it. Maybe they just intend to find new excuses each day to keep the public in the dark, like #epo crushed efforts to study #patent quality and #EPC compliance. Because the numbers shame the policy.
#Litigation companies with deep pockets lean on #EPO to allow illegal #patents on software; since the EPO is nowadays run by criminals, what's going to stop them? They abolished the #EPC already. https://www.dyoung.com/en/knowledgebank/articles/database-management-information-retrieval http://techrights.org/wiki/index.php/Software_Patents_in_Europe
