●● European Patent Office Kontrovers TV Coverage (English Version)
Posted in Europe, Patents at 1:23 pm by Dr. Roy Schestowitz
One man’s story gets told (televised even) so that others won’t have to go through what he did (implicating what EPO staff memorably calls ‘Gestapo’ [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7])
Summary: A television program which demonstrates the correlation between aggressive EPO management and staff suicides preserved as a cautionary tale
HAVING just published the original in German and also the French version (subtitled), we now publish the English version that was shared here in Flash form before (via YouTube).

There are two main themes/ways in which EPO management tries to justify its abuses and iron-fisted governance approach (suicides unsurprisingly grew tenfold); one is to say about the employees that they’re “well paid” (or something along those lines, as it monetary compensation exempts them from human rights) and the other is all about “results” (which is a basically a lie). █
