update on Carlsberg
by Christoph Then 05 Nov '21

05 Nov '21

Dear all as agreed I sent out the letter to the companies, no reply so far. It looks like the companies did also not react to inquiries from media (dpa was definitely interested and asked Carlsberg for reaction). Besides dpa, I had some interview with smaller radio in Munich and some request for interview from Italy for next week (I shared with Giulio and Johanna). If the companies do not react, this is bad for news agencies but good for WeMove. So let us see, how it develops. Cheers Christoph

new version of the Carlsberg PR / check Global South quote
by Christoph Then 03 Nov '21

03 Nov '21

Dear all please see new version of the Carlsberg PR. I changed the title of the German version according to Francois, but did not change the rest. It is highly unusual that a company asks for revocation. We should give some room for this wording. The text is shortened, but added is a quote from the perspective of the global south. Please check. Bram, Simon, Erling, Ruth and Johanna are suggested for the quotes. I will send it off for English editing, maybe we can manage to send it out till Wednesday. This would mean we need your comments till Tuesday noon. We also can postpone, if more time is needed. Cheers Christoph

by Christoph Then 03 Nov '21

Dear all I just received the English edits and by working on it, I found out we can add Heineken throughout the text. I want to thank Dagmar for her remark, because Heineken indeed is part of the story. I will now change the German version accordingly and resend. Cheers Christoph

some comments on possible strategy of Carlsberg
by Christoph Then 03 Nov '21

03 Nov '21

Dear all just for consideration: as I told you, I checked the register for further letters in the other cases (EP 2575433, EP2373154). There are still no further letters. The reason maybe: EP 27373154 is finally decided. It can not be 'revoked' (it can expire if fees are not paid). EP 2575433 (still under opposition) did receive a very negative letter from the EPO in regard to Article 56 and 83. Thus Carlsberg can simply wait for the EPO to revoke it (or file new request before the hearing). the only case were they are in a difficult position is EP2384110 - this patent is likely to be confirmed by the Technical Board if they do not get active. That might be the reason why the wrote this letter to stop the EPO from proceeding. Thus, Carlsberg might have been taken a general decision and just became active on the only case were they see a problem, leaving the rest to the normal processes which can be used to terminate all of these patents. There is no communication from Carlsberg which we know about, but it might show up soon if we send out our media release. Cheers Christoph

a quick question on media work
by Christoph Then 03 Nov '21

03 Nov '21

dpa is interested in the story. very good. do we have an embargo? at what time do want to send it out? dpa might approach Carlsberg with questions - so we might get some answers before we send the letter to Carlsberg ourselve. I think we should take this risk (which could spoil our own follow up media strategy) - any comments? thanks!
