●● No, IAM, UPC Did Not “Spring Back to Life”

Summary: IAM ‘magazine’ misleads its readers and does a disservice to a potentially large audience with alternative facts about the Unified Patent Court (UPC) — a theoretical system which is stuck in a likely perpetual limbo

THE just-released issue of the magazine (behind paywall) called “IAM” (3 words that are lies, “intellectual”, “asset”, and “management” — all in relation to mere ideas!) puts forth a wild leap of faith by Joff Wild. The headline is “The UPC springs back to life” and it says in the except that “The Unified Patent Court received an unexpected boost in November 2016, when the UK government committed to ratifying the agreement despite Brexit.”

Our rebuttal at the time explained why it made no sense. It was a 7-part series:

The UPC Scam Part I: EPO-Bribed Media Outlets Lie to Brits (and to Europeans) About the UPCThe UPC Scam Part II: The Patent Echo Chamber at Work, Prematurely Congratulating Itself in Its ‘News’ SitesThe UPC Scam Part III: The “Patent Mafia”The UPC Scam Part IV: Bumps Along the Road for UPC, With or Without the UK and BrexitThe UPC Scam Part V: Unitary Patent Regime a Fantasy of Patent TrollsThe UPC Scam Part VI: The Real Story Which People Missed Due to Puff Pieces Seeded by Battistelli-Bribed Media is That UPC Technically Cannot Come to the UKThe UPC Scam Part VII: A Fine Mess in the Making, as Nothing Can be Made of It Amid/After Brexit

Lucy Neville-Rolfe has since then left her job and Dr. Luke McDonagh, who criticised what she had said at the time, will speak about the subject on February 8th (this coming Wednesday), based on this new page and a tweet about his book. “Book launch for ‘European #Patent law & the UPC’ by @DrLukeMcDonagh @CityUniLondon,” it says.

It’s rather ironic that Britain, renowned for a large ‘industry’ of lawyers, was what most likely killed the UPC. Team UPC will likely attempt to redraw it, not withdraw it. █
