Sam Gyimah Replaced Jo Johnson More Than a Fortnight Ago, But Team UPC Has Ignored It Until Now



Sam Gyimah



Summary: Another great example of Team UPC intentionally ignoring facts that don't suit the UPC agenda and more misinformation from Team UPC (which now suppresses comments expressing the 'wrong' views)

IT IS not news. It was reported on early in the month. Team UPC could report it more than two weeks ago, but it did not. How convenient, as usual. It also reported absolutely nothing about the British government/Parliament totally removing the UPC from the agenda (after it had been put there).

"Team UPC could report it more than two weeks ago, but it did not."Sam Gyimah, who is relatively young for a politician, replaces another young politician, whom we criticised for being inexperienced in his domain (still, Donald Trump even appoints officials who have only just graduated from college). This morning we wrote about Bristows mentioning it weeks late (while also distorting the facts or making stuff up) and this afternoon it was Michael Loney who belatedly covered it:

Sam Gyimah, member of UK parliament for East Surrey, has been confirmed as the UK IP minister


The above publisher is close to EPO management and has helped promote the UPC for years. Perhaps they realise that they can't go on ignoring the fact that Jo Johnson is history. His words, his infamous photo op with crooked Battistelli, all that lobbying et cetera? Perhaps all in vain. Is Gyimah already being showered with brown-nosing 'advice' from Team UPC? It's not unthinkable. Bristows is brown-nosing judges. Bristows has gone out of its way to possibly speak to UK-IPO off the record, then fabricating statements to the desired effect (soon to be repeated by Loney's publisher). It does not get more despicable than this because later on they call those who call them out "trolls" and "idiots". Says a lot about their arrogance.

"But these liars would have us believe that the UK (i.e. Gyimah, who is new on the job and has other priorities as he settles in) will imminently push for ratification."Kluwer Patent Blog, which now has an even more restrictive commenting policy (to shield the UPC from critics), has a new post today. Not only time delay/moderation is in place; there are now further restrictions to guard the UPC from critics. "Kluwer Patent blogger" (i.e. probably Bristows in hiding) pushes out another bit of UPC advertising. It did so earlier today and there are no comments. How convenient. They 'crushed' the resistance by technically silencing it. "As long as Germany hasn’t ratified the UPCA," it concludes, "the Unitary Patent system cannot launch."

And Britain also. Obviously. But these liars would have us believe that the UK (i.e. Gyimah, who is new on the job and has other priorities as he settles in) will imminently push for ratification. Gyimah and his wife are very well educated; they're not in the job because of kinship (Boris Johnson) and will be harder for Team UPC to bamboozle/manipulate.
