| Neem patent revoked: Victory over biopiracy |
The EPO has cancelled the patent granted to an American multinational W R Grace in 1994. The decision brings to end an 11-year-old dispute.
"It means that the US government and this company and the companies holding other similar patents cannot threaten Indian farms and farmers who use Neem freely in our economy. A patent in their hands gave them the right to prevent anyone else for making, using, distributing, selling the patented product," said Vandana Shiva, an environmental activist.
