Protest against Life Patents in Germany
Protest against patents on vegetables in front of the EPO (European Patent Office) in Munich. A coalition of around 300 organizations revolts against the plans of the industry for patents on natural resources, like vegetables such as broccoli or tomatoes. Greenpeace activists with a market stall showing vegetables and fruits which have already be patented. The signs read: "No Patents on Seeds!"
In original language:
Aktion gegen Europaeischen Patentamt
Gegen die Patentierung von Saatgut, Pflanzen, Tieren und Lebensmitteln lehnt sich ein internationales Buendnis aus 300 Verbaenden und Organisationen vor dem Europaeischen Patentamt (EPA) in Muenchen auf. Anlass ist die erste Anhoerung zu einer Grundsatzentscheidung im europaeischen Patentwesen: Anhand eines Patentes auf Brokkoli, Tomaten und daraus hergestellte Lebensmittel will das Amt entscheiden, ob natuerliche Ressourcen weiterhin als "Erfindung" beansprucht werden koennen. Bereits patentiertes Obst und Gemuese wie Mais, Salat, Karotten und Melonen zeigt Greenpeace an einem Marktstand am EPA.
