Dear all

it looks like Axel is the only one who is interested in the activity (thanks for the proposal!)

I would not agree with the suggested activity, because I can not imagine German media (or international media) to pick it up.

Since there is also no support for my scenario and no better proposal came up, I think we have to drop it.

This is might be regrettable, since we do not have many other opportunities to go public.

cheers,

Christoph

Dear all,

 

I would love to see a picture that focusses on '50y EPA' and something like 'failure'.

can be really small, like a smashed birthday cake with black candles and a little banner right on top. Or we can put the message (something like 'European Patent Office - 50 years of failure' on the hammer that smashes the cake).

 

Dont't judge too hard, this is only a very rough idea, but I like the taste of it)

 

best

axel

Betreff: [Npos_2018] Activity 50th anniversary EPO - Feedback needed until 13 September

 

Dear all,

 

to be able to take a decision about the planned activities on 5^th October in front of the EPO, we ask you for your feedback until Wednesday, 13 September.

 

The idea proposed by Christoph: organise a protest / confrontational activity with our vegetables and pots and spoons. We’ll need around 20 people.

Plus, Christoph will draft a backgrounder with new patents.

 

• Do you agree with the idea of the vegetables and the pots or not?
• Do you have a better concrete idea for a protest picture?
• Would you be able to join in Munich? (joining so far: Gabi from Biorespect, Julia from ARCHE NOAH, Johanna, Tommy).
• If we are not convinced about the activity, we could as well drop it altogether and just prepare a press release. But I think that we should take the opportunity to organise something.

 

Until now we only have feedback from ARCHE NOAH who are not convinced about using the vegetables again (see emails from Axel).

 

Looking forward to hear what you think.

 

Kind regards,

Johanna
