Dear all,
François - Thank you for sending around this article, which I now finally got around to reading.
It is particularly interesting to read his views on the EBA's decision not to apply Rule 28(2) to applications prior to July 2017, reinforcing that the decision is not legally watertight. The ship may now have sailed on this point, as the national governments appear to have accepted it. But it raises the question for me if we should be raising this issue in our communications on existing patent cases, e.g. the melon patent?
Best Katherine

Dear All
Attached a new article by Michael Kock which may be of interest.
(not for publication as it is an article of a journal where access is on payment ...)
