! documents (German and English) on background and media release for this week, Thursday / Deadline for Comment Tuesday
by Christoph Then 21 Mar '22

21 Mar '22

Dear all we plan to release our new patent patents on barley story this Thursday. Let us see, if & how it works. I changed the focus of the release: Now we mostly warn a new patent will be granted to Carlsberg (in fact in might be granted this week, we could adopt our release accordingly). The announcement for the intend to grant the patent was detected by Anne Charlotte. I think this development is very interesting for media. We still have the Radeberger story (which abandoned its plans to sell glutenfree beer in 2019) and also the Ukraine (but now more in explanatory modus). so please come back to us with your comments, take a decision if you are interested to take a quote. In parallel I will send it off for English editing and hope your comments will not require too much changes. If everything works well, we can go out on Thursday, otherwise, in case of urgency, we also can delay it. cheers Christoph

media release new barley patent applications
by Christoph Then 18 Mar '22

18 Mar '22

Dear all after first round of feedback I did further edits on the draft media release. I also added some quotes. I addressed also the Ukraine since, e.g. for WeMove, it might be an opportunity to put this issue in the recent political context. Also, I am aware of industry to use the crises to call for a roll back of ecological standards in the EU, to increase food production. this would be some counter-argument. I am not sure it works, please send your comments. English editing is still missing. I also have some corrections for the backgrounder and German translation of the backgrounder is still missing. We should decide when we want to go out, I have some interest from German media and would like to send them some draft, going along with an timeline for embargo. Cheers Christoph

update from Plantum
by Christoph Then 09 Mar '22

09 Mar '22

dear all we got message from Plantum saying they will not support our petition. I had some further exchange with them via mail. It looks like (in future) they want to introduce legal changes to somehow restrict the scope of patents. I was told it would be something different than the breeders privilege (but no further clarification). They also say, they do not oppose our move. So, looking to the many patent applications filed by members of Plantum, it seems to be clear that we will not get strong support in near future. But I will keep contact. New information (such as a new report) might cause them reconsider their position at least to some extent. in a next step, we might approach COPA, maybe via Erling... Erling what do think? cheers Christoph
