Hi all,
Thanks a lot for the great work! We have good media interest in Austria for the story - also thanks the great Comms work here :)
I just gave an interview on the fish patent with one question I couldn't answer:
Where else is the fish patent in force? = where would it apply if the EPO says no tomorrow? I found a US patent number on the EPO site, but cannot find a patent with this number if I google it? Sorry, I am still very far away from good patent research skills, maybe Christoph, Ruth or Anne-Charlotte can help?
And on beer: It's a trustworthy contact and he was also interested in the beer patent, and wants to ask the companies why they withdrew. He asked to get the letter from Carlsberg + Heineken/their attornies. Johanna told me, normally all correspondence becomes public on the website anyway, so I would forward it to him, if there is no objection? I think it's great if they get more pressure... it might help us to find out about their plans.
Best, Dagmar
