Actions continue at the European Patent Office (EPO)
On Wednesday 21 January 2015 a demonstration will take place in Munich (Germany) starting from the Kurt Haertel passage at 12h and ending at the Danish consulate.
Staff of the EPO reproach the governing body of the Organisation which is the Administrative Council chaired by Mr Jesper Kongstad (DK) for:
- its failure to exercise due oversight over the President of the EPO,
- its failure to fulfill its duty of care towards EPO staff,
- its lack of transparency towards the EPO's users and the general public.
Simultaneously, in The Hague (Netherlands), EPO staff will demonstrate in front of the Dutch Ministries of Justice and Foreign Affairs.
For further information see the SUEPO publication What does EPO staff want ? (also in French and German)and Governance of the EPO.
