Dear all,

Dagmar and Fulya have written a guide for organisations on how to work to get their national patent law changed. The work was part of our 2022 project with the Gen-ethische Stiftung (thanks Ruth!) but we waited to finalise it until the changes to the Austria law were complete, which is cited as inspiration.

We want the guide to be as accessible as possible (including/especially to organisations outside for NPOS), so would be grateful for any feedback. If you do have time to comment, please send your feedback to Dagmar by 22nd May. The report will then be formatted and circulated as a final version.

Thanks Katherine
