Tomorrow we’ll likely to see the Brits kicking the UPC down the road (yet again).

This ‘article’ (more like advert) is titled “Constitutional complaint against UPC Agreement” this, at the moment, is the primary impediment to UPC and it can take years just to decide the merit of the complaint (at the moment they bicker about admissibility and some UPC zealots resort to ad hominem attacks against the complainant). Whether the independence of the Boards of Appeal prompted the Federal Constitutional Court to request that Steinmeier delay the signature of the UPC Agreement remains unclear. However, the situation is less clear cut than the case decided by the Federal Administrative Court in 1959. While the EPO’s Administrative Council, in an attempt to avoid a diplomatic conference, has endeavoured to strengthen the independence of the Boards of Appeal by amending the implementing regulations, certain aspects may still support Bross’s position and strengthen the constitutional complaint. To quote some of the closing words (coming from a UPC proponent): We know their tricks and we know who they are.”Earlier today, in a paid self-promotional piece at IAM, Markus Herzog from Weickmann & Weickmann PartmbB insinuated that EPO scandals caused the demise of UPC (see last paragraph) or at least contributed to that. “They’re lobbying they’re attempting to shape perception in order to influence the outcome. We know their tricks and we know who they are. They’re lobbying they’re attempting to shape perception in order to influence the outcome. It would take a miracle and it’s a sure thing that Battistelli will have failed to see it materialising, except perhaps outside the EPO (some time in the very distant future, maybe under a different name). Summary: Contrary to several misleading headlines from Bristows (in its blog and others’), the UPC isn’t happening and isn’t coming to the UK it all amounts to lobbying (by setting false expectations) This - to put it quite bluntly - is what the ‘mainstream’ habitually labels “fake news” Posted in Deception, Europe, Patents at 6:27 pm by Dr. 02.14.18 No, Britain is Not Ratifying ‘Unitary’ Anything, But Team UPC Insinuates It Will (Desperate Effort to Affect Tomorrow’s Outcome)
