Description
12th annual German Association for Intellectual Property Law (GRUR) workshop on current legal issues in EU intellectual property law. The event focused on the "Proposal for a Regulation on plants and food and feed derived from certain new genomic techniques" submitted by the European Commission in July 2023, which aims to remove (certain) NGT plants from the current narrow framework of GMO regulation. While the Commission's proposal on genetically modified plants initially only concerned regulatory law, the European Parliament responded in February 2024 with a resolution that supports the basic approach of liberalizing the use of genetically modified plants, but links this to a far-reaching exclusion of the patentability of such plants and further restrictions on the protective effects of patents on plants. The Proposals are currently discussed in the trilogue negotiations of European Parliament, Council and Commission.| Period | 25 Jun 2025 |
