STAFF UNION OF THE EUROPEAN PATENT OFFICE INTERNATIONALE GEWERKSCHAFT IM EUROPÄISCHEN PATENTAMT Here is the open letter to with annexes merged: (as discussed in the video at the top) Heck, maybe he’ll get a high-paying job at the EPO later on (like Dr.
Nothing will be done by the Chairperson unless his own job is at risk but this is what happens when the “patent microcosm” is being put in charge of the “patent microcosm”. SUEPO is well aware that the Chairperson is pretty much in the pocket of Campinos. We will continue to monitor the progress of the issue and will keep you informed of further developments in a timely manner. It is now up to the Administrative Council to ensure that the conference is convened as soon as possible. This strong signal has been sent to the Chairperson and to the Heads of Delegations of the Administrative Council in an open letter. We would like to express our sincere thanks to all the signatories for their clear support. In total 1016 EPO staff members support the petition to the Administrative Council to call for a Conference of Ministers of the Contracting States under Article 4a EPC. Some days ago the following message was circulated among examiners (for the most part): Strong support for the petition to the Administrative Council to call for a Conference of Ministers of the Contracting States under Article 4a EPC The above video talks about this petition, which was brought up again some days ago in light of the union communicating “upwards”, seeking to get member states to intervene and disrupt EPO corruption (such as the violations of the EPC, resulting in European software patents among other monstrosities).
It has been about 3 weeks since we last covered EPO staff affairs except more minor aspects. It’s mostly a matter of prioritising based on urgency.
We’ve sadly not spent much time lately covering EPO scandals or even the lack of UPC progress. The same people who hijacked the EPO (large corporrations and international law firms) try to do to patent courts what they did to Europe’s largest patent office, but that aspect shall be covered in the next post and today’s final video. The UPC lobby and the people who hijacked the EPO (overlapping groups) make people’s lives miserable, both inside the EPO and outside the EPO. The “patent microcosm” - an old term that refers to self-serving groups with no consideration or any regard/respect to “externalities” – is dominating the EPO and the overseeing body ( mostly representatives of national patent offices, but not of nation states) must be challenged. Summary: The EPO‘s “f*cking president” António Campinos (he actually referred to himself as “the f*cking president”) is going to face more and more challenges as scrutiny from outside the patent microcosm becomes inevitable if not imminent
