bike tampered? - No.
hmm, as far as I know even the UK is continueing with ratifying the UP-agreement, which would set up another of these international organisations (the Unified Patent Court)...
Although it is debated whether the UPC is voluntary part of the EU (and thus only accedeable by EU members)...
This all despite the WIPO and the EPO debacles.
There is something about power in an environment meant to create monopolies....
Also, regarding the bike: from what I last heard, the bike brake pads were simply totally worn out and thus did not brake anymore. No tampering detected by the expert, despite the insistance of the upper management.
No apology towards staff either, but that would destroy the narrative that BB is the victim, which needs to be upheld in front of the CA.
Biting the hand that feeds IT
