! update KWS and slogan for our activity
by Christoph Then 28 Nov '22

28 Nov '22

Dear all today we (Francois, Johanna, me) had the meeting with KWS. They insist that traits derived from conventional breeding may be patentable and claim they have a solution on the licensing platform. we say, they are not solving problems, but creating problems and the real solution would be to restrict patents on technical inventions. They did not put in question our findings. We agreed that further talks may be useful. So now I will finalise the report (no major changes) and we also should prepare a bannner with a slogan my proposal is to use the heading of the report: KWS-Patente gefährden Pflanzenzucht in Europa Patents of company KWS are threatening plant breeding in Europe what do you think? have a nice weekend!

Dear all there is an patent hearing in preparation with experts, organised by ALLEA (assembly or EU academies) which is highly influencial in Brussels. They are looking for stakeholders. We now have named Kofoed, Raaphorst, Arche Noah, Karl Josef-Müller. I guess Plantum will be invited anyway. Whom should we name in addition? I also will forward this question to IFOAM and Maaike. We need this information till beginning of next week. Cheers Christoph
