Summary: The EPO has created a toxic culture wherein even former staff is afraid of criticising the institution and ends up self-censoring (the “chilling effect”) whilst attacking those still willing to expose the facts
THE EPO is so terrified of criticism that someone who has worked under Benoît Battistelli and António Campinos (at CEIPI and maybe EPO as well) apparently worries about his criticisms only when Techrights merely mentions these. He’s stubbornly defending software patents although they're outside his scope of expertise and he’s lecturing on litigation, which can’t be a good sign (the EPO itself has become highly litigious — as far as threatening to sue bloggers and coughing up millions to squabble with its staff).
“He’s stubbornly defending software patents although they’re outside his scope of expertise…”Although we caught up with his post nearly 3 months late it’s worth responding to it in video, not just in text, especially after discovering just how close the person is to Team Battistelli. █
