Dear all,
On the Euroseeds
website there is an interview with the new head of the ACLP, the industry licensing platform for patents which was set up at the start of the year. There is also reference to the NGT debate. You can see they are trying to use the existence of the platform
to neutralise the criticism of the patents on the NGTs.
Interestingly, membership of the platform is free for small companies until 2028 – in case any friendly breeders want to join and keep an eye on what the industry is doing.
Best,
Katherine
