All patent ofrefs users should make use of authorised representatives. Laypersons are a pain and a drain on the system and are heavily subsidised by other users."And what's the point of being represented, when many a EP-rep are content with merely channeling their foreign correspondents". Many a non-EP agent insists on their EP agents merely forwarding their instructions direct to the EPO without any value-added contribution(ie without ensuring the response is done properly and addresses the examiner's concerns). Something to do with agents wanting to make the profit out of their client and not share the 'spoils' with EP agents. Many also think they know better in any case.Personally, I'm all for a spot of protectionism. Bring on the trade war!To be fair to our US friends, there is no need for many to realise publication destroys their chance of getting an overseas patent, because to them, overseas is just Hawaii! Sorry.
