[Npos_2018] ! new KWS patent granted /update on activities

dear all

I am just about to to some research on patents of KWS.

One interesting result (which was brought up by our patent research in September already): EP3380618 (applied in 2016) was granted in August.

claimed is cold tolerant maize derived from conventional breeding, all plants inheriting the specific genes are part of the invention.

I think this example nicely shows the relevance of KWS, of 'gene patents'. so let us go for KWS in December. Georg already found a farmer driving a truck ..

some further updates

I did get no information on the planned meeting of the German government (end of September) - I try to do further research

I have to travel Tuesday and Wednesday, back on the desk on Thursday.

cheers

Christoph
