Hi Christoph,
Thanks for this info, also as an update just to say that our members as of last weekend have started tweeting and bombarding Carlsberg's FB pages with the video and personalised messages to stop patents on barley.
For German for instance you can find it here: https://www.facebook.com/CarlsbergGermany/?brand_redir=9401782383
or via Twitter there is a lot of action around the hashtag #StopCarlsberg in German, English, French, Polish, Italian and Spanish.
Speak soon and thanks,
Giulio

a journalist from Denmark started to ask questions (via Erling). So I added further information to our table.
if interested, please see attached list with some more informations on the content of the patent (those which are still relevant).
as far as I can see, all are (de facto) based on random mutations (but also include / mention the possibility of targeted genome editing)
there are two major categories: taste of beer (these patents claim the barley, the process of brewing and the beer) and improved quality of the barley for the process of brewing (these patents claim the barley and the process for brewing)
there is one additional example: in one case, more generally methods for performing random mutagenesis in barley are claimed (but no claims on the barley plants)
I did one correction: I found out that one of these examples were listed twice in the list. I deleted it and now the number of still valid application is five and not six.
