●● EPO Scandals in British Media: Third Time in Private Eye

Posted in Europe, Patents at 9:43 am by Dr. Roy Schestowitz

Summary: The Private Eye, a leading paper in the UK, is writing about scandals at the EPO again

“Did you see that Techrights is in Private Eye again?”

That’s what a reader wrote to us this morning, attaching the above photo. The reader said it’s “from the edition dated 18th March 2016.” I shall buy it later today. It’s nice to see that British media doesn’t shy away from EPO matters anymore, but why is the BBC still so reluctant to even mention it?

This above-mentioned leak is a month-old leak. We have had half a dozen more since then.

The good news, all in all, is that the media is catching up, and it is not looking good for Battistelli and his friends, whose bogus narrative (or media strategy) is increasingly being rejected by the media. Among other media coverage across Europe (somehow the media outside Europe has completely avoided touching the subject):

Some readers have sent us the above links over the past few days. There’s no lack of coverage anymore. SUEPO has netted a few more, but many of the rest were already mentioned here, covered here, or translated here before. There’s too many of them to cover exhaustively or translate in totality. We’re usually after new or unique information. If someone is prepared to provide us with more translations, please contact us in advance in order to avoid duplication of effort (e.g. more than one person working on the same article). █
