Summary: The tribunals of the EPO seem to have become ‘too’ conscious of the fact that they’re scrutinised closely by the public (the injustice and lack of impartiality is too obvious for everyone to spot)
Yesterday was not as disappointing as we had predicted or expected. It wasn’t as positive as we hoped it would be, but it seems like a middle ground, as explained in this late Friday statement. The video above isn’t scripted or edited. I used it to explain in simple terms the situation at the EPO, what patent systems are actually for (or were originally meant to be; no patents on maths or on nature; the video alluded to the new article “200,000 signatures in campaign to demand stop to patents on seeds“), and where we go from here, seeing that the judges are reluctant to issue a ruling. Maybe they’re testing the administration (for its reaction) or maybe they just plan to negotiate with their "masters" privately, behind the scenes; we can only ever speculate about this unless, for example, someone leaks some information to us.
“Maybe they’re testing the administration (for its reaction) or maybe they just plan to negotiate with their “masters” privately, behind the scenes; we can only ever speculate about this unless, for example, someone leaks some information to us.”The case isn’t over and we’ll be covering it for quite some time to come, irrespective of the outcome and whether it gets delivered soon or much later.
The circus of July 2nd, including the technical difficulties, were a black eye. António Campinos probably isn’t happy right now. █

Judges mustn’t become ‘zombies’ of the administration they’re designed to assess/scrutinise
