British brothers nominated for European Patent Office (EPO) prize for their device that reduces accidental seabird deaths in longline fishing
Pressure-sensitive pod covers hooks at the sea surface but opens when bait sinks to depth of 20 metres
In trials, the technology cut seabird deaths by 95% without reducing catch rates
Munich, 4 May 2021 – The European Patent Office (EPO) announces that British brothers Ben and Pete Kibel have been nominated as finalists in the “SMEs” category of the European Inventor Award 2021 for their invention of a simple, low-cost device that prevents the accidental deaths of seabirds during longline fishing.

Oh, wow. It’s like the EPO is a “family business”….
“A study [sic] published today by the European Patent Office (EPO),” it says. Published… just a day or two after notification of strike. Coincidence?
The situation at the EPO is not good; to say the least… as it’s an understatement. SUEPO has promised a whole year of conflict ahead, emphasising that the strike is only the start of it. And read this new comment which says: When the new president took office in July 2018 his mandate from the AC was to restore social peace. Now half way through his mandate, the only possible conclusion is that this aim is far of being achieved. One could even say that he has failed.
