Subject: Arche Noah Webinar 02/12/2021 at 10 am: EU Unitary Patent System & its potential impacts on patents granted on seeds, plants & animals
Dear all,
Please find below an invitation to a webinar on the European Unitary Patent system, which will likely enter into force by mid-2022, and its potential impact on patents on seeds, plants and animals.
UNITARY PATENT WEBINAR
THURSDAY 2ND DECEMBER 2021 (10:00 – 11:30 CET)
As a follow-up to the regional capacity-building webinar-workshops held in 2020 & 2021 on the topic of patents on seeds, plants & animals, Arche Noah is organising a webinar to raise awareness about the upcoming regime of the European Unitary Patent, and its potential impacts on patents awarded by the European Patent Office (EPO) on seeds, plants, and animals.
Through this new system, patents granted by the EPO will directly apply in the national territories of participating States (Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Estonia, Germany, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Portugal, Slovenia or Sweden amongst others), with a single application process. The system will be linked to the Unitary Patent Court, with its own life sciences division.
Designed for all individuals and organisations engaged in seed saving, farming, or other parts of the food chain, as well as civil society movements with an interest and expertise in food systems, corporate control, or seed policy, the event seeks to inform and discuss the impacts of the Unitary Patent system on their activities, as well as on European seed and food systems.
Please register using this link by 1st December 2021.
