update on barley and beer patents
by Christoph Then 10 Nov '21

10 Nov '21

Dear all, I did not get any response from Carlsberg and Heineken so far. So I guess, WeMove can start its videos. I would be happy to have some preview to prepare for reactions, in case needed. It also would be gerat to see the text before which will be sent to the supporters. Arche Noah asked for a meeting with the breweries for Monday next ẃeek. They also asked the German brewers to take part. Also Johanna wants to participate in the meeting. Since several organisations are quite active on this issue, I would recommend to start up cooperation around that meeting. I would prefer to have an internal discussion first how to go on with barley and beer, but it looks like Arche Noah already fixed the date, so in case please get in contact with each other. cheers Christoph

backgrounder second draft (Deutsch und Englisch)
by Christoph Then 09 Nov '21

09 Nov '21

Dear all this is the last document for today on the fish patent. I revised the backgrounder in cooperation with Ruth. Ruth noted that several patent applications were withdrawn (especially those in the table which now is deleted). We also saw that the patent application on hornless cows are withdrawn (one of it quite recently: July 2021). However, I suggest to leave it in this backgrounder as examples for applications, but when it come to the petition, we should re-discuss which examples we use. I suggest comments till Wednesday morning. cheers Christoph

powerpoint for workshop in Brussels
by Christoph Then 09 Nov '21

09 Nov '21

Dear all on 19 November, Arche Noah will hold a workshop in Brussels on patents and allows me to present some findings on CRISPR patents and conventional breeding and to put it in context to recent debates. please see attached my draft presentation - happy to receive your comments. The idea: * to explain the different legal frameworks of GMO regulation and patent law * to explain the consequences for patents on conventional breeding if no difference is made between New GE and random mutations. * to derive to a demand which could solve the problem. For me it seems to be important to use the workshop to explain some arguments which I think are (in essence) not really controversial but crucial for our upcoming work in the EU. So thanks to Arche Noah for organising. Cheers Christoph

Dear all, I created a folder on the ARCHE NOAH Microsoft-Cloud (NPOS Shared folder) where I would like to share all documents, on which we are going to work together, in the future. This way you just need the access once and I dont have to share every single document (on Google Docs.) with you. The texts for the fish patent are in the folder. Please comment until Wednesday, 10 Nov. morning. You should have received an email. Please click on the blue button Öffnen. Then you should receive a second email with a Code that you then have to enter. In case it is not clear, I can send more detailed info. I am afraid the emails will be in German. Best, Johanna Mag.
