update on the hearing
by Christoph Then 10 May '22

10 May '22

Dear all just a short update during the break as expected did not have success on Art 53 (b). We also hat a short round on novelty (Art 54) without success. I did a longer part on Art 56 and the technical effect of the mutation. This was our focus for today. Now we have a break till 2 p.m. After that decision might be taken soon on Art 56, but also mit require further discussions. After that they will discuss Art 83 (if the invention can be repeated). I would not expect this will become a major issue, but we will see. Cheers Christoph

! Interesting findings from PINTO /update on the report
by Christoph Then 08 May '22

08 May '22

Dear all, Johanna did an update on Pinto database. see attached. It looks like so far, for some reason, I did not check these patents for their content. But now I checked five of the top-list as provided by Johanna, to see, if these patents are based on claiming genes as we describe it in our report. (I did not check those which apparently are based on mutagenesis) interesting outcome (see added comment in the table): four patents indeed seem to claim genes and plants (derived from crossings). one is 'only' claiming usage of genes. three are not granted yet, one of them is 'grant intended' from April this year (number 1 in the list). We should closely monitor!! I also received some comments and corrections on the report in German (Francois, Magdalena and Johanna). Also some updated figures from Ruth. Thanks a lot! I will try to work the through and send a new updated version end of the week which then hopefully will go to final round quickly. Cheers Christoph

! once more - part 2 and 3 of the report
by Christoph Then 02 May '22

02 May '22

with the comments from Johanna (I think the figures on Pinto still need an update?), I think this version was not sent to the list. I am not sure, if I have the time to translate it all into German. Do think it would be necessary?

! new draft version of the report in German and English
by Christoph Then 02 May '22

02 May '22

Dear all thanks to Johanna for sending firsts comments on the previous draft version. I now started translation into German. I am not sure if I have the time to translate the whole report, but most important are the summary and and the extended summary (last time we did not have a full German version, but only these summaries). so please see attached a revised version of the English summary and its German draft version. If we agree on the content on wording in these documents, a large part of the work is done. Maybe you can come back with comments till end of the week, also indicating if you see need for full German version. after that we can start editing, layout and contacts to companies (most important, as far as I can see: Nunhems/BASF, Syngenta, Rijk Zwaan and maybe KWS) cheers Christoph PS this week we will invite for press conference on 9 of May (only in German, with brewers, breeders and farmers) and prepare first reactions to the outcome on 10 of May on the Carlsberg patent.
