Summary: The EPO‘s Enlarged Board of Appeals (EBA) will start discussing the legality of ViCo under scenarios where either party (or both) in a dispute rejects ViCo even though ViCo itself is, in my assessment, totally illegal and only being pushed using the ‘carte blanche’ of “pandemic” (as if patent disputes are “essential” or even critical)
EUROPE is watching! As noted in this morning’s articles [1, 2], Benoît Battistelli‘s protégé António Campinos will certainly be hoping that loads of hearings won’t be discredited (if not invalidated). The courts have been stacked, at least temporarily, and several problematic members remain in those courts (or boards, namely EBA).
“This sad situation oughtn’t have come about in the first place, but EPOnian regimes have been through much worse and they always get away with crimes, corruption, lies, and even deaths (staff committing suicide).”Remember that those are some of the same people who promote European software patents in defiance of instructions from the Parliament, precedents in European courts, and even the EPC itself.
What good is the Rule of Law if those who check compliance with the law are the very same people who undermine it? What good is an adage like “justice is blind” when those who look to judge aren’t blind at all and are moreover stakeholders in the outcome? Or in one particular outcome?
This sad situation oughtn’t have come about in the first place, but EPOnian regimes have been through much worse and they always get away with crimes, corruption, lies, and even deaths (staff committing suicide). █
