Dear all,

 

At the conference call on Monday, I mentioned that DG Grow presented on patents at a Council Working Group meeting on NGTS. I attach the powerpoint.

 

It is concerning (but not surprising) they refer (e.g. slide 5) only to the challenges for and “agritech market players”. We and others should communicate this is also, and in particular, about farmers and organic and small plant breeders, and they should also be taken into account in the study.

 

Best,

Katherine
