Handover of report to EPO

On 14 October 2026, No Patents on Seeds! handed over a new report to the Administrative Council of the European Patent Office (EPO). The report shows that the EPO is still granting patents on plants and plant traits which, under European law, can only be protected by plant variety protection and are not technical inventions.
