*Stop patenting the food chain!
*停止食物鏈的專利！
Multinational seed corporations are following a consequent strategy to gain control over basic resources for food production. As recent research shows not only genetically engineered plants, but more and more the conventional breeding of plants gets into the focus of patent monopolies: International patent applications in this sector are skyrocking, having doubled since 2007 till end of 2009. Further on the multinationals expand their claims over the whole chain of food production from feed to animals and food products such as meat. In a pending patent application from Monsanto even bacon and steaks are claimed: Patent application WO2009097403 is claiming meat stemming from pigs being fed with the patented genetically engineered plants of Monsanto. A similar patent is applied for fish from aquaculture in March 2010 (WO201027788). Far reaching patents on food are even already granted: Monsanto received a European patent (EP 1356033) in 2009, which the chain of food production from
seeds of genetically engineered plants up to food products such as meal and oil are covered.
跨國種子公司在跟進一隨之發生的而來的策略，去賺得基本資源生產糧食的控制。正如最近的研究顯示，不衹轉基因植物，而且越來越多的傳統植物繁殖進入專利壟斷的焦點：在這區的國際專利申請沖天飛，自2007年至2009年底已增加一倍。跨國公司進一步擴大它們的聲稱，對整個食品生產鏈由餵飼動物和食物產品例如肉類。在一迫近的孟山都專利申請，甚至熏肉和牛排被聲稱：專利申請 WO2009097403在聲稱肉類源於豬隻餵食以專利的孟山都轉基因植物。一個類似的專利申請是水產養殖魚於 2010年3月（WO201027788）。深遠的食品專利甚至已被批準：孟山都在2009年收到一歐洲專利（EP 1356033），從轉基因植物種子的糧食生產鏈 達至食物產品等例如膳食和石油都被包括在內。
"There is a process going on, multinationals are trying to gain increasing control of the whole chain of food production. Consumers, farmers and food producers are all caught by the same trap. This has to be regarded as an immoral attempt to abuse patent law. The company is heading for maximising its profits by filing patents on food while at the same time one billion people is suffering from hunger," says Francois Meienberg from the Berne Declaration.

As experience from the US shows, patents on seeds and increasing market concentration are leading to drastic increase in seed prices, reduced choice in seeds and soaring dependencies for farmers. Meanwhile the Department of Justice and state attorneys general in several US states are investigating whether Monsanto Company has abused its market power to lock out competitors and raise prices in seeds. The coalition of 'No Patents on Seeds is warning that market concentration will even increase if the abuse of patent law is not stopped. The coalition is supported globally by more than 200 organisations. The organisations are demanding a clear change in policy and practise of patent offices. Governments are urged to to revise the patent laws in order to exclude patents on seeds, animals and parts thereof.
