But these patents have been registered in Spain, Germany, Italy, France and the United Kingdom. So,
this court decision is more like, 1 down and 5 more to go. But in a Dutch newspaper published the day
after the court’s decision came into effect, the legal representative for Bakels stated that now that the
Dutch ‘Teff’ patents have been invalidates, his clients will now begin the process of getting those in the
remaining 5 European countries invalidated as well, by applying for enforcement of the Dutch courts
judgment that it has secured.
we have to fight to get these patents scrapped off. They have been hanging over our heads for the past
15 years and now luckily for us we are in a situation where, without spending a penny, we are getting
what we want, all of the ‘Teff’ patents invalidated. But, we should not be fooled by our lucky strike;
firstly, what happened with the ‘Teff’ patent is proof that we do not have adequate methods to protect
our natural and national resources. The second point is that, we have to have better and quick response
mechanisms for such matters. Keeping and protecting our natural and national assets should be a
priority and not an afterthought. And lastly, we have many specialized experts on this matter in our
country who have a vested interest in this cause, we should get them involved in assisting with closing
these gaps.
This also means that we can now have our attention from a defensive mode to a protective mode,
meaning we can now start thinking about what intellectual property methods we can use to better own
our precious resources: ‘Teff’. Might I suggest trademarking the word itself and perhaps a geographic
indication related IP?
The most interesting information I came across while following up on this Teff related matter is that the
largest exporter of Teff is South Africa. I hope that this experience is a huge learning opportunity of the
prominence of this grain and how we must begin to insert ourselves in the market.
