Dear all

please see attached the first draft of the new report which we want to present in Brussels in September or October.

It is based on research from Anne Charlotte (A patents), Andreas (B patents) and Johanna (Pinto) as well as on parts and pieces we published this year.

some content is still missing such as a table of patents granted and the reasoning why methods for selection of conventional plants are not allowed under Art 53 (b).

Please send your comment till end of the week before I send a revised version.

thanks

Christoph
