●● Update on the EPO’s Crackdown on the Boards of Appeal

Posted in Europe, Patents at 5:20 pm by Dr. Roy Schestowitz

Summary: Demand of 35% increases from the boards serves to show that Battistelli now does to the ‘independent’ judges what he already did to examiners at the Office

EARLIER this month we wrote about the Haar party which chairs refuse to attend. Team Battistelli had the ‘brilliant’ idea of inviting EPO chairs to actually celebrate Battistelli’s attack on the EPC. How tactless a move.

“So basically, Battistelli is now doing to the boards the same thing he did to examiners: working them to death.”“As far as I can tell,” one source tells us, “there are still only two takers for [the] meet up [and] In other news, Battistelli ‘junior’ is demanding 35% increases from the boards on the basis of “concentrating on essentials”.

Battistelli ‘junior’ is “[t]he independent other president. Holder of secret delegated powers.”

So basically, Battistelli is now doing to the boards the same thing he did to examiners: working them to death. Neither patent nor service quality can be assured this way.

“It often seems like Battistelli wants the EPO to have no staff anymore.”How independent and impartial they must feel…

This has gotten as ridiculous as it can get. But also predictable. It often seems like Battistelli wants the EPO to have no staff anymore. Maybe he wants everyone replaced by useless computer programs and fresh graduates with only enough knowledge to help operate these. Or maybe Battistelli wants to just outsource most of the work to yet another French company. Or some French court (UPC in Paris). █
