Dear Johanna

I just have seen the invitation, and the preliminary program looks interesting. However, I have not jet decided if I will go.

I think I couldn’t represent the experience of NPOS, but if desired I could talk about the appeal against the Syngenta Pepperoni, or the political processes currently going on in Switzerland (revision of Swiss patent law and a popular initiative on NGT, containing a clause that excludes biologically bread plants and animals from the scope of patents). However, to have somebody from Africa talk on their experience with patents might be even more interesting.

Best,

Simon

Betreff: [Npos_2018] LLD forum October

Dear all,

we have been accepted to hold a workshop at the Let’s liberate diversity forum in Antibes (South of France) on Friday, 4 Oct. 11h-13h CET.

https://liberatediversity.org/lld-antibes-2024/

Will someone of you attend and would like to participate as a speaker together with me? Would be nice to have more perspectives shared. If yes, please let me know.

Otherwise LLD proposed to include a speaker from Africa to share their situation in regards to patents.

Kind regards,

Johanna
