  • Petition to the Administrative Council of the European Patent Organization
    August 10, 2019 BY EMAIL Petition to the Administrative Council of the European Patent Organization Cc: Antonio Campinos, President of the EPO Emmanuel Macron, President, French Republic Christoph Ernst, VP Legal/ International Affairs Angela Merkel, Chancellor, Germany Karin Seegert, COO, Healthcare & Chemistry Mark Rutte, Prime Minister, The Netherlands Piotr Wierzejewski, Quality Management Boris Johnson, Prime Minister, United Kingdom Stoyan Radkov - Applicant’s Representative Cornelia Rudloff-Schäffer, President, German PTO Tim Moss, CEO, Intellectual Property Office of Cadre Philippe, Director, French National Institute the United Kingdom of Industrial Property Vincentia Rosen-Sandiford, Director, Netherlands Patent Office Re: European patent application 09735962.4; and European divisional application 17182663.9; Applicant: Asha Nutrition Sciences, Inc. Dear Delegates in the Administrative Council, We have been prosecuting the referenced patent applications directed to critical innovations for public health at EPO for last 10 years. However, rather than advancing the innovations EPO has been obstructing them. EPO statements in the prosecution history evidence that rejections have been applied to oblige us to reduce the claimed scope, even though as per provisions of European Patent Convention, the subject claims are perfectly patentable. A narrow patent is not synonymous with a quality patent. The metric of quality disregarded by EPO is genuine innovation, measured by betterment of life achieved, though that is the very purpose of patents and is built into the law. For example, solutions to critical unmet needs are inventive even if claims are otherwise obvious (GL1, G-VII, 10.3). Narrow patents in the nutrition arts have already caused great harm to public health and created patent-practice- made humanitarian crises by creating misinformation and taken us farther away from solving nutritional problems, preventative solutions, and sustainability.

  • A Management Alternative in the Vaca Forest Reserve Sector
    BELIZE TECHNOLOGY NEEDS ASSESSMENT – MITIGATION: Identification and Prioritization of Mitigation Technologies for Belize 10 Integrated Landscape Forest Management: A Management Alternative in the Vaca Forest Reserve Sector: Land use, Land use Change and Agroforestry Sub-Sector/Technology Option: Agroforestry Technology: Integrated Landscape Forest Management: A Management Alternative in the Vaca Forest Reserve Introduction Sequestering atmospheric carbon (C) and storing it in the terrestrial biosphere is one of the options, which has been proposed to compensate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Agricultural lands and degraded forests are believed to be a major potential sink and could absorb large quantities of C if trees are reintroduced to these systems and judiciously managed together with crops and/or animals (Albretch and Kandji, 2003). Thus, the importance of agroforestry as a land-use system is receiving wider recognition not only in terms of agricultural sustainability but also in issues related to climate change. Carbon sequestration potential of tropical agroforestry systems produce a median sequestration value of 95 metric tonnes/ha/yr. (Albrecht & Serigne, 2003). Considering variables of location, soil type, rainfall and species it can be as high as 228 metric tons per hectare. Assuming a median of 95,000 kg divided by 1,250 trees per hectare one would get 76 kg (167 lbs) per tree. In a managed plantation trees are culled back to about 600 trees per hectare, which would result in 158 kg (348 lbs) per tree per year (Albrecht & Kandji, 2003). Managed plantation generally produces 20 to 30 times more wood than do natural forests, resulting in higher sequestration rates per hectare (Dombro, 2015).

  • Conservation of Karst in Belize
    Day, Michael—Conservation of Karst in Belize. Journal of Cave and Karst Studies 58(2):139-144. CONSERVATION OF KARST IN BELIZE MICHAEL DAY Department of Geography, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53201, U.S.A. Karst areas in Belize are coming under increasing pressure from agriculture and other commerce. Opportunely protected karst areas are incorporated within forest reserves, national parks, wildlife sanc- tuaries, nature reserves, archaeological reserves, private conservation and management areas, and spe- cial development areas. The total area of karst afforded nominal protection is about 3400 km², or about 68% of the total. Incorporating special development areas, the protected karst area is about 4300 km², or 86% of the total. Even the more conservative percentage is unparalleled in Central America and the Caribbean, and per- haps the world. Significant protected karst areas include the Chiquibul, Blue Hole and Five Blues Lake national parks, the Bladen, Aquas Turbias and Tapir Mountain nature reserves, the Monkey Bay Wildlife Sanctuary, the Rio Bravo Conservation and Management Area, and the Caracol, Xunantunich, Cahal Pech and El Pilar archaeological reserves. Extensive karst areas are located within the Vaca, Columbia River, Sibun, and Manatee forest reserves. The Manatee and Cayo West special development areas have considerable karstic components. Throughout the world, karst landscapes are increasingly tion and management areas and six special development areas subject to human impacts (Gillieson & Smith, 1989; Sauro et (Figure 1; Table 1). These protected areas and sites in Belize al., 1991; Williams, 1993; Ford, 1993). Karst regions in the encompass a wide range of designations and purposes, but col- Caribbean and in Central America have come under particular lectively they account for over 30% of Belize’s land area pressures from agricultural and industrial expansion (Day, (Nicolait, 1992).
