Letter to the Administrative Council, "Fifth suicide since 2012"
SUEPO sent a letter to the delegations to inform them of the suicide of an EPO colleague. It is the fifth suicide at the EPO in 39 months, and the third one in Patent Administration (DG2). The Central Staff Committee (CSC) already sent letters on this topic on 5 December 2013, 16 September 2014 and 17 April 2015. These letters are still left unanswered. A copy of the latest letter can be found here.
