Dear All,
Please find attached the fourth response we have received, this time from Corteva. This went through Oxfam US office.
I think we need to take their response into account, copied from the attached: Corteva Agriscience (including our predecessor companies) is not a patent holder in the Pepper Plant example cited nor did we have any involvement in the breeding work described. We ask that the language in the example is reworded to make that clear or remove mention of Corteva in the context of this patent
Now, you must have received the responses from BASF, Keygene, Rijk Zwaan and Corteva. KWS and Bayer will follow this week. From the other companies we did not receive any feedback so far. Best regards,
Bram
