●● António Campinos Withdraws From Plan to Directly Run the EPO, Patent Office to be Run by Google ‘AI’ Instead

Early Certainty From Google

Summary: Campinos can hereon manage remotely, enjoying a drink while Google Patents™ with a proprietary computer program does all the management

THE EPO patent-granting machine, recognising cost-cutting potential and prospect of replacing people with machines, has followed the footsteps of Battistelli’s extraordinarily fantastic and very high-quality leadership. In defiance of USPTO efforts to let pesky individuals get in the way and in the interests of improving efficiency, the EPO decided to hire programmers in order to replace all management — President and Vice-Presidents included — with computer programs. Conflicts and liability for them would thus be solely bits and bytes, further emboldened by diplomatic immunity such bits and bytes can enjoy and relieve. ILO is poorly equipped to handle complaints against algorithms, “which is a feature,” Campinos remarked, “not a bug.” Mr. Gurry congratulated Campinos on the move on behalf of WIPO, further remarking that “you can even draw blood and DNA from your staff and nobody will ever do anything to you, as Uber demonstrated a month ago.” █
