interesting for upcoming hearing on Carlsberg
by Christoph Then 26 Jan '22

26 Jan '22

Dear all the opposition division of the EPO has opened up some new line of arguments based on Art 56 and 83. We have to respond to and I am in contact with lawyers. Most interesting, under Art 56 they say that random mutations might be considered to show no technical effect and thereby are non-patentable. I guess this line of arguments will need our specific attention and preparation. if you have any comments, please let me know. cheers Christoph

I phoned the Finnish patent office. this patent seems to be not valid in Finland, maybe a mistake by the EPO ...

! draft oppositon (have to file TODAY)
by Christoph Then 21 Jan '22

21 Jan '22

Dear all please see attached first draft. I think this a very interesting case, also claiming usage of non-domesticated plants. I think the Art 56 might be successful, Art 53a and 53b is more political. sorry only in German. If Martha is available, I will change the first page in the same way as we did it with the melon, so this then would become a joint opposition. If possible, please some back to me til 1 p.m. I suggest to wait with media work on this opposition till we publish our report on patents granted in 2022. No need to run public communication at the moment, since the beer campaign is about to take next level. apologies for late notice of this interesting case. My fault. Christoph
