Hi Christoph,

 

thanks!

I haven’t had time to read the new annex, but I agree the titel could be changed. It could even be more dramatic? Because the situation is!

“Growing confusion about patents on thousands of genes endangers conventional plant breeding”?

Since not all future uses of the report will be together with the press release (this could also mean we could have added a dramatic paragraph at the beginning of the summary, but I do not want to open pandoras box now ;))

 

Best,

Dagmar

Dear all

 

please see annex 4, now also mentioning the new patent. To me it seems this annex is especially useful to explain the current confusion.

I think it also may a good idea to include the matter of confusion in the title of the report.

How about changing from

Patents on genes and genetic variations block access to biological diversity in plant breeding

to

Growing confusion about patents on genes endangers conventional plant breeding

 

cheers

Christoph
