Oliver Moldenhauer

Oliver Moldenhauer (born December 17, 1970 in Hamburg ) is a German political activist in the field of patent policy and intellectual property rights . Until 2018, with the support of Campact and 38 degrees , he was busy building up the Europe-wide campaign platform WeMove.EU . Previously, he was the head of the German campaign for access to essential medicines by Doctors Without Borders Germany and, briefly, Sum of Us Europe. In 2000 he was a co-founder of Attac Germany and from the beginning in 2001 until mid-2007 he was a member of the Attac coordination group and thus also of the Attac Council. As such, he became publicly known, as he was invited to the media more often as an Attac representative and co-authored some basic Attac texts.

Life

After studying physics at the Carl von Ossietzky University in Oldenburg and the Waikato University in New Zealand, Moldenhauer worked as a scientist at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research from 1996 to 2000 , where he examined the possibilities and limits of qualitative and semi-qualitative modeling of nature -Social interactions (such as the syndrome approach ).

From 2001 to 2003 he worked for the Latin America Information Center and was the first webmaster responsible for the Attac Germany website from the end of 2000 to at least mid-2006 . Initially, Attac still worked from the office of Share e. V. in Verden , who was responsible for the finances and personnel for the development of the network in the founding years of Attac. From 2004 to 2006 he was with Share e. V. employed. From 2007 to 2013, Moldenhauer worked for Doctors Without Borders' drug campaign for access to vital medicines. From there he moved to Sum of Us and then to Campact. By 2018 he built up the European campaign platform WeMove.EU, which had over 900,000 members in April 2018. In November 2016, WeMove.EU was awarded the Europa-Lilie Prize for civic engagement by the Europa Union Germany .

From 1988 to 2002 he was a member of Bündnis 90 / Die Grünen . Among other things, he was a member of the state board in Lower Saxony and treasurer of the Brandenburg state association . In 1996 he was elected to the Council of the City of Oldenburg (Oldb) for Bündnis 90 / Die Grünen . He was a founding member of the Green Youth .

Moldenhauer is a founding member of Attac Germany and the nationwide Attac working groups “ Wissensallmende ” and “World Trade and WTO” and was active in the so-called coordination group for six years. Later, the voluntary work was mainly focused on the network free knowledge and the campaign fair sharing - the culture flat rate . He is a board member of the Attac founding and member association Share e. V.

Services

Moldenhauer became involved in the field of intellectual property early on . The first public use of the term “ Kulturflatrate ” goes back to him . He was involved in the founding of various organizations to raise awareness of the negative effects of intellectual property rights in the fields of environment, culture and medicine. In the countries of the global south in particular, the narrow legal barriers that are set by the WTO's TRIPS Agreement , among other things , have led to considerable problems in development.

As coordinator of the German drug campaign by Doctors Without Borders, Moldenhauer repeatedly criticizes the problematic effects of patents on drugs, which make the supply of urgently needed drugs in the developing countries unaffordable and prevent the production of alternative, cheaper generics . He therefore called for the establishment of a patent pool, which could simplify the production of new drugs, especially antiretroviral drugs .
