[Meme] EPO Governance

The EPO‘s regime, which started under Benoît Battistelli about a decade ago, perishes in courts outside the EPO's governance loop

The EPO Crisis

The critical state that the EPO has entered might be conveniently overlooked by media sponsored by the same litigation fanatics who bolstered an institutional coup, but the facts speak “loud and clear”; there’s a crisis unfolding and EPO...

The EPO’s Overseer/Overseen Collusion — Part XLIX: The Rise and Fall of Battistelli's “Social Democracy”...

The EPO’s Overseer/Overseen Collusion — Part XLVIII: The Unkindest Cut of All

Benoît Battistelli‘s unlawful “Strike Regulations” (restricting basic rights of EPO staff) were boosted by the kangaroo courts of António Campinos, who continued to exploit these unlawful rules for 3 years

Due process at the EPO has become a fictional concept; self-appointing monarchs like Benoît Battistelli and António Campinos don’t know what “social” and “democracy” mean

The EPO’s Overseer/Overseen Collusion — Part XLVII: Institutionalised Injustice at the EPO?

[Meme] Drunk Driving, Like Son of António Campinos

In the Netherlands, the drunk-on-power EPO may have gotten its way (above-the-law status), but ILOAT keeps delivering much-belated rulings (4430, 4482, maybe more to come) which curtail the illegal actions of the EPO albeit without any...

The EPO’s Overseer/Overseen Collusion — Part XXXXV: In the Shadow of “Waite and Kennedy”

The EPO‘s immunity is troublesome for a plethora of reasons; this sort of problem has long been recognised in a broader context

The EPO is Bleeding in Courts

The abuses of the EPO are causing an embarrassment; media in the pockets of the EPO's management isn't covering that, but sooner or later the truth will come out regardless

EPO Pays Out Millions of Euros in Compensation -- to Thousands of Workers Who Deserve a Lot More for Moral Damage -- for Battistelli's Illegal Acts (But Battistelli Himself Has Not Been Punished at All, Nor Have His Enablers)

pushing ahead for justice after more than a decade of chronic, ongoing, systematic injustice, which saw the rule of law abolished, patent quality as "collateral damage", and Europe's reputation/leadership in tatters

[Meme] Almost a Decade for EPO Justice (Delayed, Hence Denied)

ILOAT has been far too slow in curtailing/stopping Benoît Battistelli‘s EPO abuses and nobody is being held accountable, either

ILO Tribunal Once Again Rules That the European Patent Office (EPO) Violates Fundamental Rights

The EPO‘s management, namely António Campinos and his mates (it’s all about nepotism rather than democracy), will need to deal with Benoît Battistelli‘s “reforms” having been ruled as breaching fundamental rights of staff (for the second time in a...

[Meme] Geneva Convention or Geneva's Suggestion?

It remains to be seen whether EPO President (the ‘heir’ of Benoît Battistelli) António Campinos will obey a ruling from Geneva or just treat that as “advisory”, as usual, to protect Battistelli and the ‘coup plotters’

Only Norway Followed the Advice of EPO Workers and Consulted Relevant Ministries About Unlawful EPO Policies
