The #EPO ’s management is busy writing loads of superficial puff pieces while the rest of the staff actually does all the work (and prepares to go on #strike this coming Tuesday) http://techrights.org/2020/12/12/stress-of-epo-management/
The letter from SUEPO, published one week after the 5 December 2018 meeting with EPO President #AntónioCampinos , is worth recalling; it shows that for 2 years Campinos mostly perpetuated the harm caused by #BenoîtBattistelli because the likes of #AurélienPétiaud and #MichaelLund never received justice and those who abused #LaurentPrunier still work at the Office http://techrights.org/2020/12/12/two-years-of-nada/
#AntónioCampinos Has Been a 'Lame Duck' for Nearly Two Years Now, But the #EPO #AdministrativeCouncil Failed to Act http://techrights.org/2020/12/12/open-letter-working-group-and-performance-assessment/ #patents #europe

As escalations from the #EPO Chairman of the Central Staff Committee show, it was around spring of 2019 that #Campinos lost control and people lost trust in him (or honeymoon period was over, as the metaphor/saying goes) http://techrights.org/2020/12/12/open-letter-working-group-and-performance-assessment/

Nobody does it like ‘Tony’ #Campinos the #EPO pres. as he’ll pretend to listen, do whatever he wants regardless, then label himself “social” something (because his father was in the Socialist Party) http://techrights.org/2020/12/12/european-patent-office-deaf/
