! any opinion if we should file opposition quickly (till tomorrow) / announcement of media work with brewers
by Christoph Then 20 Jan '22

20 Jan '22

Dear folks I am just about to go through the granted patents from 2021. Several interesting case, also (potentially) for filing further oppositions. I just found out that one patent of Nunhems on tomatoes (there are several patents from Nunhems / BASF) would require to file opposition till 24 January. We could do so (and also add further documents later). It is interesting, but I am not sure if this is one of the best cases. it looks like, in 2021, we have more than a dozen patents granted which are somehow relevant. I guess we will not oppose them all. Maybe we could. this one is about drought tolerance: Nunhems first exposed plants to drought and measured gene expression. thereby they identified relevant genes they produces transgenic plants to show these genes are relevant for drought tolerance then they did random mutations, followed by tilling (selection) to identify non-transgenic plants which are carrying the relevant gene. To my opinion, the step with transgenic plants is not needed to derive to the non-transgenic plants, thus technically it is added, non-relevant matter. in the claims, they claim both the transgenic plants and non-transgenic plants. in the consequence, the patent will hamper other breeders from using a relevant genetic information.It looks like, this genetic information was there before (as a starting point) because it was identified by exposing existing varieties to drought stress to identify the relevant genes (I have to double check, but this would run the case highly interesting). please see attached. Let me know your comments. In case I can file a short opposition on Monday. sorry for late notice. I will try to give an overview on the other cases asap, but these cases will not be as close to the deadline. In terms of media releases: We also expect the platform from the brewers (in Germany, Austria and Luxembourg) to come up next week, followed by media work in the week after. cheers Christoph

overview on further candidates for opposition
by Christoph Then 20 Jan '22

20 Jan '22

Dear all I identified four patents (including the one I sent), three from Nunhems, one from Rijk Zwaan which might be interesting cases for opposition (see nummerations 54, 116, 164, 175). there might be some others and there will be further coming up in 2022. All in all, I think we should check the patent I sent from Nunhems and file opposition, this really seems one of the most relevant patents. Sorry I took late notice of it. I try to send further updates and aim to file on Monday. Christoph PS let me know if you need further patent documents.

IMPORTANT: Membership request Dachverband
by Johanna Eckhardt 17 Jan '22

17 Jan '22

Dear all, the German umbrella organization for crop plants and livestock diversity (Dachverband Kulturpflanzen- und Nutztiervielfalt) approached us with a request to become a member of NPOS. We informed our German member organizations and the board. There are no objections. Frosamlerne and No patents on life! support the membership request. This is the homepage of the organisation (only German): https://kulturpflanzen-nutztiervielfalt.org/ They have 27 member organisations, amongst them as well 2 of our NPOS members (AbL and ARCHE NOAH). Other organisations supported our activities in the past. So in the name of the board I’d like to forward you this request for membership. Attached the original membership form in German and the English translation. You have 4 weeks to send in your vote, that is until 15 February 2022. Just send me an email. The membership is approved, if we have a two-thirds majority (see our <https://www.no-patents-on-seeds.org/sites/default/files/2020-11/2020-02-27%…> statute, §3). We have 19 members, of which 15 are entitled to vote (list of members attached). That is we need 10 members to vote in favour to approve the membership. If you have any questions or doubts, please come back to us. Best, Johanna Mag.
