! media release on Melons planned for next week, Wednesday (auch auf Deutsch)
by Christoph Then 30 Apr '21

30 Apr '21

Dear all please see attached the slightly improved drafts for media release on Melons. So far there were not many reactions, however we think this is a nice case we should use to gain public attention (in case of interest in home gardens please read page 13, example 1). we now suggest to release it on Wednesday next week. We also could delay the release for one week if necessary. I also informed WeMOve and UIM so in case they also can use the material to push the petition. Along with the media release we also would publish our recent legal analysis on Art 53 (b). So please come back to us with comments, question or suggestions or just wait for the final media release to be sent out. Cheers Christoph

New patent on melons
by Christoph Then 25 Apr '21

25 Apr '21

Dear all please see latest finding from patent research: the bushy melon was found in a homegarden, then was turned into a hybrid and became the invention of Nunhems/ BASF 28 (2) does not apply: the plants are not derived from crossing and selection, the patent application was filed before 2017: a perfect scandal. let us try to expose it. what do you think? cheers Christoph

crucial legal arguments / Carlsberg hearing/ time limit
by Christoph Then 20 Apr '21

20 Apr '21

Dear all the Carlsberg hearing on 8 of June poses some challenges. According to the EPO we might win on technical reasons, however, due to G3/19, the new Rule 28(2) will not be applied. to allow us to introduce our legal grounds, we have to argue why Rule 28(2) should be applied on this patent. End of next week I will send a letter to the EPO with some technicalities to be sorted out (translation etc) and also new legal analysis on G3/19 and EU Directive 98/44 (also using some existing text elements). Maybe this is not perfect, but it opens up the door for further discussions and interventions. By writing it, I had the impression that our arguments are even quite valid. so please come back to me with your comments till Wednesday next week. Meanwhile I will start the editing process, sow e can be ready at end of next (as requested by EPO on telephone in a call yesterday). I also will send an 'heads up mail' to the other oponents. cheers Christoph

Dear all, with a little delay, I just sent you the documents in regard to our meeting of members via Proton. - internal minutes - the extended Annual report with more details on what we achieved. We added paragraphs that you already found in "Doc. 6 Planning and Budget 2021". Changes are marked in the document.

We will then finalise the official minutes for the authorities and the Annual report in English and German.
