I have to apologize for technical failure on last opposition
by Christoph Then 09 Mar '22

09 Mar '22

dear all we had some technical problems with the bank transfer to pay the opposition fee for the latest opposition filed against the patent of Nunhems (we did not forget about it, but the money did not get through). I apologize, If we would have been filing the opposition at earlier stage, this problem would not have occurred. It looks like the opposition is not valid. It seems that we did not have yet public communication on this case, thus it does not seem to be a bigger problem for our communication. I will phone up the EPO and explain them what went wrong, maybe the issue still can be fixed. I will keep you posted. Cheers Christoph

planned media release on CSIRO Barley
by Christoph Then 09 Mar '22

09 Mar '22

Dear all please see attached a draft media release on CSIRO barley (German and English). I also includes latest patent research on Carlsberg. It will go along with an overview on recent barley patent applications. I sent the draft of the overview at beginning of the year and now will finalise it. We can use this backgrounder to include information (such as on CSIRO) which is missing in the PR. also missing are quotes etc. We will add after first revisions. please note that the logic of the paragraphs normally would first require to present the NEWs on patent applications and then talk about Radeberger. However, to me, it looks more interesting (for journalists) to tell the story of Radeberger first. I will send this draft now to the free brewers. I will discuss with them if and how we inform Radeberger beforehand (I would reccommend). I would not try to get in contact with CSIRO and Carlsberg before. As you will in the final backgrounder, the story is based on research and does not seem to include potential legal or factual uncertainties. Anyway, if we inform Radeberger, this also includes a check of the story with the Australian barley. cheers Christoph

Dear all, the next Zoom Update on our campaign for interested partner organisations is scheduled for 23 March. Feel free to join or to share the email below. Best, Johanna Mag. Johanna ECKHARDT Project Coordination Tel. +43 680 21 26 343 <mailto:johanna.eckhardt@no-patents-on-seeds.org> johanna.eckhardt(a)no-patents-on-seeds.org NO PATENTS ON SEEDS! <http://www.no-patents-on-seeds.org/> www.no-patents-on-seeds.org <http://www.facebook.com/nopatentsonseeds> www.facebook.com/nopatentsonseeds <http://www.twitter.com/nopatentsonseed> www.twitter.com/nopatentsonseed Dear colleagues, our campaign against patents on seeds is moving forward! You can now find the petition as well on the European campaign platform WeMove Europe in several languages (DE/EN/PL/FR/ES/IT/NL): https://act.wemove.eu/campaigns/nopatents-conference It already reached over 100.000 signatures! Our Swiss member organisations launched the petition as well. The links to the petition on all other sites can be found at the very bottom of this page: https://www.no-patents-on-seeds.org/en/petition An important next step of the campaign will be to get in contact with the ministries of the 38 Contracting States of the European Patent Office. That is where we would very much appreciate your support. We have as well some proposals for public activities, but still have to take final decisions. To give you an update and answer any questions you may have, we invite you to our next Zoom talk on Wednesday, 23 March from 10h to 11.30h CET. This time my colleague Christoph Then will join us. So this would as well be a good opportunity to get all your more technical questions answered, for example on the latest patent research of No patents on seeds! or specific patent cases, about more detailed information of the legal situation, our strategic approach, etc. Please register until 21 March via this link: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZIsceCqrzMsHt0HnnO7Os4e8fmkquvMbLU 7 After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.

Lobbyregister / Transparency Register
by Christoph Then 02 Mar '22

02 Mar '22

Dear all since some time I plan to register no patents on seeds in the EU transparency register. Now a new register came up with German Parliament. I also will register our organisation there. One requirement will be that we name all funders which contribute to our budget more than 20.000 € per year. I guess this will concern the Gene ethical Network and Salvia. I think there not much flexibility for us if we want to contact German or EU Parliament. So I will act accordingly. cheers Christoph
