Question about PR: Heineken co-withdraws patent?
by ARCHE NOAH Dagmar Urban 03 Nov '21

03 Nov '21

Hi all, Short but important question: I checked the patent again and it seems to belong to both Heineken and Carlsberg. https://register.epo.org/application?number=EP09801148 And the letter from Carlsberg says "the applicants", meaning it's both of them. Thus, is it okay, if we talk of "Heineken and Carlsberg withdraw"... in the Arche Noah press release? We have a lot of Brauunion brands, with is owned by Heineken, but no relevant Carlsberg one, so it would make the PR much more relevant here.

draft media release German version revised, heading for Thursday
by Christoph Then 03 Nov '21

03 Nov '21

Dear all please see attached the German version revised with track changes. Most of them are triggered from comments made by Dagmar. I did not follow these suggestions in these details: I would not delete the CRISPR-issue (but it is shortened), I think this most relevant issue to mobilise political support and it is also nicely framed by the quote of Oxfam. Since Simon (SWISSAID) is away, I would propose to leave this topic to Oxfam in both languages (or in German to PublicEye, if interested). I also would not introduce some further explanations (as proposed by Dagmar), I think it is better reading in this version. I propose to give the first quote to Judith and wait for Erling to respond on the English version of the quote. The English version to follow soon, but I wanted to let you know the current stage of the work. Cheers Christoph

by Johanna Eckhardt no-patents-seeds.org 02 Nov '21

02 Nov '21

Dear all, following our call on the next steps of the campaign, please find an update below. Please come back to us if you have any comments or questions. Thursday, 4 Nov.: - Send out Carlsberg press release - Write Carlsberg. Ask them why they revoked the patent, if they are going to revoke all their beer patents, if they are going to refrain filing for patents on essentially biological breeding in the future. Ask them to come back to us until Tuesday, 9 Nov. Wednesday, 10 Nov.: - WeMove will most probably publish their videos on the Carlsberg patents Thursday, 25 Nov.: - Start of the petition by NPOS and ARCHE NOAH, press release Wednesday, 29 June - Meeting of Administrative Council / end of petition Umweltinstitut & Gen-ethisches Netzwerk will join the petition at the beginning of next year / in spring. WeMove may run the petition 1-2 weeks before the end, maybe push the petition as well this year, depending on the developments with Carlsberg. BUND will join, too. If you have a good idea for a visual that we could use for the petition, please let me know! :-) We'd like to have another general conference call before the start of the petition, focusing on the campaign work, but as well discussing other issues. Please fill out the doodle until the end of the week (Sunday evening): https://doodle.com/poll/3bi7h38cwpx7a9gz?utm_source=poll <https://doodle.com/poll/3bi7h38cwpx7a9gz?utm_source=poll&utm_medium=link> &utm_medium=link Best, Johanna Mag.

text of the petition revised
by Christoph Then 02 Nov '21

02 Nov '21

Dear all after reading the comments from Francois and in preparation for the zoom conference tomorrow, I felt the need to amend the text. Thanks for sending these comments, they help to sort out open questions! I answered to the comments (see additional text attached) and agree that we should be more precise on the disclaimer. Since the petition is not only dealing with examples such as the barley, our concerns about CRISPR patents may need some refinement. See revised versions. I think it is not necessary to explicitly mention the word 'disclaimer', because within the petition, there might not be enough room to explain it. However, as discussed in our last zoom conference, there might be additional texts needed for explaining the petition. We could consider to explain the disclaimer in there. I hope this helps, cheers Christoph

Dear all please see the slightly revised version of the petition - now also in English. I will not work again on the text again before we had our zoom conference Tuesday next week. So this is the version we can discuss during the meeting and then take further decisions. Cheers Christoph
