Re: How has he survived?
Few things wrong I'm afraid. No need for a law degree, and the EP exams are actually easier than the UK patent attorney exams (which are closed book, and horrible). No such thing as an EU patent attorney: it's EPA (European Patent Attorney).
Agree that the USPTO is a shower of sh*t compared to the EPO.
