It's time to get out of the woods again.
Maybe if they increase the price money by 100x, I will start looking at it.

Please correct your article, EPO is not EU.
It is not an European Union (EU) institution, it is an international organization.
It is going fully rogue at the moment.
EPO is the "European Patent Office", not the Patent Office of the European Union, which does not exist.
For the swedish case, it is even worse, as Sweden already ratified, and the only language of the regional court will be english only. Meaning that a swedish company accused in court will have to hire a translator. And patents will only be available in english of course, translations in swedish will be made "non-legally binding" bu the unipat.
Sorry, but other experts then me says the opposite:
