EPO-Funded Propaganda for Software Patents Reaches as Far as East Asia and the EPO Then Brags About That

EPO gazette



Summary: The Gazette and the European media have already disseminated the "4IR" lie (pretending algorithms are something they're not) and the patent-printing machine which Battistelli grossly misuses seems to have spread that lie to all four corners of the planet

THE USPTO is moving away from software patents, but the corrupt EPO goes in the opposite direction in defiance of the law. Last year Battistelli wasted EPO budget paying European media (the 'Big Publishers') to create so-called 'research' and spread this propaganda of his (calling software "4IR"). Shown above is the EPO's internal gazette (quarterly publication, full of lies that outsiders cannot see and therefore challenge/correct), which also disseminated this propaganda to about 10,000 people, mostly EPO insiders. Just before the weekend the EPO wrote: "Europe, the USA and Japan are the established leaders in #4IR innovation, but China and Korea are rapidly catching up. More findings here: http://bit.ly/4IR_findings" (notice the image they're using).

"Last year Battistelli wasted EPO budget paying European media (the 'Big Publishers') to create so-called 'research' and spread this propaganda of his (calling software "4IR")."If that's not bad enough, they have also just created this new page. That was less than a week ago (warning: epo.org link). Found via Mikk Putk‏ , the page is titled "Korea: Accelerated examination for Industry 4.0 related inventions implemented" (sounds similar to computer-implemented inventions, another buzzword/mask for software patents).

"EPO insiders call Battistelli a "cancer" or a "tumour" and judging by the above development this "cancer" is spreading globally."Several weeks ago we wrote about how the EPO had apparently lobbied Korea to adopt this lie (which Battistelli wasted EPO budget to manufacture). As Benjamin Henrion put it some days ago: 'Korean Patent Office pushing for software patents by renaming them as "4th Industrial Revolution" https://is.gd/2uH21G google translate is your friend, but no way to add a link to it..."

EPO insiders call Battistelli a "cancer" or a "tumour" and judging by the above development this "cancer" is spreading globally. Battistelli's impact, however corrupt it may be, cannot be ignored by those outside Europe. South Korea does not generally allow software patents; will the Koreans too attempt to (mis)use some buzzwords of Team Battistelli to change that?
