Although the revocation on march 8 by the eurpoean patent office (EPO) of a patent based on the fungividal properties of the seem tree was hailed as an historic victory over biopiracy, the decision may have mainly a symbolic value. Yet, it could send a signal to biotech companies operating in developing countries that they can not equate the traditional knowledge of indigenous communities with freely available public domain information.
