Ingress:

 "Brussels, 15 February 2023 — FFII has filed a corruption complaint
 against the European Patent Office (EPO) and the state of Netherlands
 on a 200M EUR building bribery. The EPO has exchanged a promise to
 invest a 200M EUR building in Rijswijk against aggressive fiscal
 privileges for its staff, transforming the Netherlands in a tax haven
 for international institutions. FFII tried to alert belgian socialist
 MEP Tarabella few days before the QatarGate exploded. FFII is calling
 on Member States and EU institutions for an investigation of the case,
 and a pause of the ratification by Germany to launch the Unified Patent
 Court."

Det er en interessant og skremmende historie om det europeiske
patentkontoret.

Har det norske patentkontoret også økonomisk insentiv til å godkjenne så
mange patenter som mulig?
