[Npos_2018] heads up on the fish patent

Dear all

I hope you are enjoying summer break.

Just a short update on the fish patent hearing: It is supposed to be organised as online hearing. I have to send technical details and also our submissions till 16 of September.

By looking into the files I found out that we should prepare our arguments again on Art 56 (inventiveness). I prepared a draft in German and I am in contact with patent attorneys.

In this case I think it is worth to fight on Art 56 in detail and just using Art 53 (a) and (b) for more general messaging.

Let me know if you need more information. I also attach the media release from 2019 - this was a large number of supporters! I tried to inform the organisations

Cheers

Christoph
