important draft resolution for EU, deadline Wednesday
by Christoph Then 07 Sep '21

07 Sep '21

Dear all please see attached a draft resolution for the European Parliament. I am trying to reach out for the Greens and as soon as they respond (or not respond), I also will inform some Social Democrats. I had a look onto the previous resolutions and took over some elements. I added the need for definition of essentially biological processes and limiting scope of patents. I also added two procedural issues, based on Article 4(a) of the EPC (conference of ministers every five years) and Article 16 of the EU directive (annual reports). To me it looks important that the EP gets aware of the risk that CRISPR industry will take over conventional breeding if patents on random mutations are not stopped. This is also an issue for the Green Deal. please come back to me with your first comments if needed till Wednesday. thanks, Christoph

heads up on the fish patent
by Christoph Then 23 Aug '21

23 Aug '21

Dear all I hope you are enjoying summer break. Just a short update on the fish patent hearing: It is supposed to be organised as online hearing. I have to send technical details and also our submissions till 16 of September. By looking into the files I found out that we should prepare our arguments again on Art 56 (inventiveness). I prepared a draft in German and I am in contact with patent attorneys. In this case I think it is worth to fight on Art 56 in detail and just using Art 53 (a) and (b) for more general messaging. Let me know if you need more information. I also attach the media release from 2019 - this was a large number of supporters! I tried to inform the organisations Cheers Christoph

How to go on with the 13th October?
by Christoph Then 23 Aug '21

23 Aug '21

Dear all on 13 October, the Admin Council might meet in person in Munich. The meeting is still not online. I have some barley, still growing promising. We wanted to hand over 38 pots with barley plants and flaggs to the delegates. We also might invite Cultivari to join for media talks. However I will not be in Munich at this day, I only could help online. Maybe the BN or the Umweltinstitut can take over the coordination of the activity? please let me know, so we can start planning Cheers Christoph

Conference call 28 June 2021 - Minutes
by Johanna Eckhardt no-patents-seeds.org 02 Aug '21

02 Aug '21

Dear all, please find attached the minutes of our last conference call. As discussed, Christoph is growing barley plants to hand over to the Administrative Council on 15 October. It would be good to have backup plants grown at a different location. We need 38 plants, one for each EPO contracting state. Would someone of you close to Munich be able to do so or do you know someone who could do it for us? Best, Johanna Mag.
