Report with Layout
by Christoph Then 11 May '23

11 May '23

Thanks to Johanna our report now can provided with nice layout. if needed, you may use this version to inform media, stakeholders etc, but please make sure they are not distributing it - changes still might be necessary. We also will hand over this report to the EPO in Den Haag, they say, we can not file opposition by handing it over, but they agreed to a photo with the report. I hope, Oxfam will print a few versions, otherwise we will try to organise an bring it with us. The opposition now is for editing, we will file it in Munich before we leave. The media release will be finalised soon. I also will send my presentation for the workshop beforehand.
