important updates on Carlsberg
by Christoph Then 11 May '21

11 May '21

Dear all as Ruth and Johanna found out, most of the patent applications of Carlsberg are already withdrawn, also the patent application we are using for analysis in the lab (see attachment). So this is expected success but without the planned campaign. So now we wait for results from the laboratory till end of the week and then can take a decision upon our public communications around 8 of June. secondly, for the hearing, Carlsberg filed several new set of claims to escape the novelty / inventiveness problems. Some of these claims are no longer listing the Barley plants at all. Most of them are now restricted to one specific mutation (and the plants). see attached, looking for the phone conference at 9 a.m. today. Cheers Christoph
