The controversial appointment of Mr. Zeljko Topi? as vice-president of the EPO

An article titled "Suspicion of High-Level Corruption at the European Patent Office (EPO)"describes the controversial appointment of Mr. Topi? as vice-president of the EPO. Since his appointment in March 2012, Mr. Topi? has become the subject of a number of critical news reports in the Croatian media: Mr. Topi? appears to have a background of corruption and his appointment to the EPO too is believed to be reliant on systemic corruption.
