Proposal for EPO anniversary 5 Oct.
by Johanna Eckhardt 01 Aug '23

01 Aug '23

Dear all, here are our first ideas for an event around the EPO anniversary. Please come back with your feedback until the end of July. On the 5th of October, late morning, we could have the Screaming vegetables marching along the road of the EPO and have around 50 people joining us who make a lot of noise by banging kitchen pots, pot lits, etc. 1 or 2 people of us could make a little speech for the people present (without microphone/technical equipment). We would hope that media would show up to make interviews with us. The event should rather be confrontational, not focus so much on presenting our facts again (since we already did that many times), but rather saying that the EPO still doesn't do anything. Christoph will be on his well deserved holiday at that date. Let us know what you think about the idea and if you would be able to travel to Munich. Kind regards, Johanna Mag.

Dear all, attached the DeepL-translation into English of the letter of the Commission. Interesting: “EU member states should ensure that they correctly apply the above principles of the biotech directive, both directly at the national level and indirectly, by supervising the European Patent Office, which operates outside the institutional and legal framework of the EU.” Kind regards, Johanna Mag.
