some interesting publication about differences between random mutations and genetic engineering
by Christoph Then 17 Jan '22

17 Jan '22

Dear all for Testbiotech we are following the issue of the differences between random mutations and CRISPR/Cas (genetic engineering) since years. Now a groundbreaking publication came up in Nature (attached) which confirms these differences. We try to summarize in a short text: www.testbiotech.org/en/news/new-findings-evolution-plants this publication also has some relevance for our discussions about patents. cheers Christoph

With regards to the question on the "transfer" of existing patents in the unitary system when it enters into force : indeed, as a principle, granted patents that have been validated in participating countries will automatically have unitary effect, unless the grantee formally "opts out" of the system. Applications to opt out of the exclusive competence of the UPC for EP rights and applications may be fi led three months before the UPC becomes operational.

Further research on patents on beer and barley
by Christoph Then 05 Jan '22

05 Jan '22

Dear all happy new year to all of you! please see attached a draft for some updated overview on patents on barley. It is supposed to become part of our annual report (which will explain other patents and patent applications as well). I also will add some further references (footnotes). Since these specific cases might be interesting for our allies from the breweries, it might be a good idea to discuss them beforehand and to take decisons how to communicate the best way. Thanks to Ruth for helping me to sort out the state of legal procedures. I found a third company being quite active in the filed, Sapporo brewery from Japan. However, it looks like these patent applications were withdrawn. please, at this stage, use this draft internally only. cheers Christoph
