Philip Cordery, "La politique antisociale de l'Office Européen des Brevets condamnée par le Tribunal de La Haye"
Philip Cordery, member of the French Parliament, has published an article(en,de) criticising the "antisocial policy of the EPO" recently condemned by the Dutch Court of Appeal in The Hague.
In his view, Benoît Battistelli "has once again distinguished himself by rejecting a court decision from a democratic State, on the pretext that this would be contrary to the principle of immunity which the EPO enjoys"."It is now a matter of urgency for the management to realise that the EPO cannot be an area where law does not prevail, and that it must respectinternational working standards and the European Charter on fundamental rights."
In this spirit, Philip Cordery has called upon Guy Ryder, Director General of the ILO(Letter to Guy Ryder (en,de))and the European Commissioner Elzbieta Bienkowska(Letter to European Commissioner (en,de)), to intervene.
