UNITARY PATENT WEBINAR THURSDAY 2ND DECEMBER 2021 (10:00 - 11:30 CET) As a follow-up to the regional capacity-building webinar-workshops held in 2020 & 2021 on the topic of patents on seeds, plants & animals, Arche Noah is organising a webinar to raise awareness about the upcoming regime of the European Unitary Patent, and its potential impacts on patents awarded by the European Patent Office (EPO) on seeds, plants, and animals. Through this new system, patents granted by the EPO will directly apply in the national territories of participating States (Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Estonia, Germany, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Portugal, Slovenia or Sweden amongst others), with a single application process. The system will be linked to the Unitary Patent Court, with its own life sciences division. Designed for all individuals and organisations engaged in seed saving, farming, or other parts of the food chain, as well as civil society movements with an interest and expertise in food systems, corporate control, or seed policy, the event seeks to inform and discuss the impacts of the Unitary Patent system on their activities, as well as on European seed and food systems.

Journalist questions about fish + beer
by ARCHE NOAH Dagmar Urban 15 Nov '21

15 Nov '21

Hi all, Thanks a lot for the great work! We have good media interest in Austria for the story - also thanks the great Comms work here :) I just gave an interview on the fish patent with one question I couldn't answer: Where else is the fish patent in force? = where would it apply if the EPO says no tomorrow? I found a US patent number on the EPO site, but cannot find a patent with this number if I google it? Sorry, I am still very far away from good patent research skills, maybe Christoph, Ruth or Anne-Charlotte can help? And on beer: It's a trustworthy contact and he was also interested in the beer patent, and wants to ask the companies why they withdrew. He asked to get the letter from Carlsberg + Heineken/their attornies. Johanna told me, normally all correspondence becomes public on the website anyway, so I would forward it to him, if there is no objection? I think it's great if they get more pressure... it might help us to find out about their plans.
