Summary: The EPO’s “news” section has become worse than a form of distraction (from the EPO’s internal rot); it celebrates illegal and unlawful practices, spreading them to other continents
THE EPO is a non-stop propaganda machine that occupies its own staff and oppresses the European continent. Run by Mafia-like leaders and their friends/family members (nepotism of the Benoît Battistelli era very much continued under António Campinos), it is pushing European software patents, usually by referring to them as “CII” or “Hey Hi” (AI).
=> ↺ EPO | ↺ Benoît Battistelli | ↺ António Campinos | ↺ European software patents
This time too, as per this morning’s puff piece (warning: epo.org link), the EPO mis-portrays a call, instead dubbing it a “meeting” and dropping in the obligatory promotion of software patents, ever so nonchalantly.

“EPO workers aren’t gullible enough to fall for it, but lies are being used to compel them to grant software patents regardless.”The puff piece speaks of “understanding of each office’s practice in the examination of computer-implemented inventions and Artificial Intelligence related applications…”
They just mean software patents. The above video discusses the deception and the lies. EPO workers aren’t gullible enough to fall for it, but lies are being used to compel them to grant software patents regardless. Nowadays many European Patents are in effect fake patents, unlawful under the EPC even if many are unlikely to have been challenged and properly tested in court (so they can be used for coercive purposes instead). This policy not only harms Europe; it harms small business or “indies” everywhere because it’s guarding monopolists, offering them protectionism in the form of patent thickets (where the underlying patents are mostly junk in bulk). █
