Dear all,
Thanks, Christoph! Good news! And great to have good news again :)
Thanks a lot for your work on this patent and all related ones to the NPOS team and everyone!
I agree to give it a moment to think about and find out if there will be a hearing?
If they also revoke the third patent (or ask for it) and the hearings would be cancelled, it would be a bit of a challenge to continue communicating the problem, but we will work on it of course.
Maybe (just brainstorming here) mentioning the new beer applications might show that there is still an ongoing problem even if one or two are revoked, so we can continue pushing them for public work next year? Or at least mention the rest of the list from the report.
It's a good success against Carlsberg, I agree they might feel the pressure from other beer producers. At the same time, we have to keep building pressure on the political level, which is a different direction, so a bit tricky, but also a good challenge ;)
Best, Dagmar

Dear all,
thank you Christoph, that's good news! Is there any way we can find out why they withdrew the patent?
greetings Judith
Dear all
we received a letter from Carlsberg. They want their (second) patent EP2384110 to be revoked (see attachment). They also want the public hearing in June to be cancelled.
I can not find similar communication on the third patent EP2575433 - so it is not yet clear whether this is the end of the Carlsberg saga.
The process is not so easy: I think they can not simply ask for immidiate revocation. The Board of Appeal might proceed without Carlsberg participating. So it is too early to conclude whether the hearing will take place.
But anyway, this is some success, it also might be that the other brewing companies put pressure on Carlsberg.
so let us prepare for some media release while also informing the breweries.
maybe just keep this internal for a moment, so we can prepare the next steps after some more consideration.
Cheers
Christoph
