Dear Christoph,
To François' comments I would just add:
Given the extended weekend is almost upon us, it would now make more sense to wait with the press release till next week?
I also sent this information last week but I think my email did not go through to the list:
In his presentation at the ECVC conference Jean-Luc Gal from the EPO said the EBA take between 12 and 21 months and it is reasonable to expect the decision “before the summer break”, which is a longer timetable compared to the information we got from the EPO last year. Of course the decision could still come this month, but it looks like we might have more time to distribute and discuss our report.
Best Katherine

Thanks for everything.
Nothing to add on the pressrelease. We all know that it will be hard to find the way to the media in these times with such a subject.
Christoph, will you - after easter - prepare a draft pressrelease (in two versions) regarding the decision of the Enlarged board of appeal? In Switzerland we decided to make one pressrelease at this point. - And we would be happy to have a draft release and to adapt it for Switzerland.
Happy easter to all of you - and stay healthy
François

dear all,
please see attached the draft media release on Carlsberg patent applications in German and English (with first corrections in track changes). Erling tries to organise a Danish version.
I guess we should send it out before Easter, to try to be in time before the Enlarged Board of Appeal says anything. We then can use the time to spread the message (also to member states) over Easter and the week after to raise some awareness for the report - I think we will need this time. I also have to mobilise the organisations in Germany, to make sure they get aware of the upcoming political developments.
We then have time to decide when we exactely will publish the report. A first layouted English version is available now and will be circulated.
Cheers
Christoph
