Hi Erling

sorry for the delay. Beans are growing. Tomatoes are planted. Let us expect exciting news.

on Carlsberg: I think we will loose the 2017 cases and Carlsberg will not withdraw its new applications. So I hope, the new Carlsberg patents are granted soon, to start new oppositions.

However, we also can try to prevent evil forces to continue. That would be my favorite..

get back with my draft letter today

cheers

Christoph

Dear all and congratulation
So far there has been nothing in the Danish medias about the Enlarged Board decision. I came home late on the 14th - and sent  the English press release of to the four environment-journalists we have in DK.
The Danish nation Radio called the next morning - but so far nothing. And the good journalist, Mie Stage,  at "Ingeniøren" wrote back the same evening, that she would contact me, but so far not    .. She will write something sooner or later, but she has a lot to do and two small children.
I have now made a Danish version of the press release and sent it to most medias this evening.
In Denmark the way to the politicians goes through the medias...

And Christoph! -  The Carlsberg patent applications from 2019 should now be withdrawn?
And how much are the patents  from before 2017worth, if Carlsberg can't make follow ups?

I wrote to Kofoed and asked him - so what now?
He wrote a short mail back, that the whole farming lobby Organisation (Landbrug og Fødevarer) where he now is the vicepresident  is very happy with the decision of the Board, and that they will make some statement in the press in a few days. In 2017 they were not too eager to support the NPOS (and Kofoeds) points of view.
We hope it will be better this time. And the government always do, what Landbrug og Fødevarer tells them to do........
Kofoed thinks not much will happen till the end of the year, but that there are evil forces still trying to get patents on some product linked to mutations (he writes this  short and unclear)  but his final statement is that there should be no patents  on mutation at all.

I hope to write again soon - with positive political news.
Best wishes and cheers
Erling
