geographical indications

Running time: 15.18 mins

 

Geographical Indications (GI's) are forms of protection for the geographical origin of products. The principle is well established throughout many countries. Geographical areas such as Champagne, Parma, Melton Mowbray and Newcastle all have food products associated with them.

 

This podcast explores the socio-economic background and history of GI's, their development as a European concept, their present manifestation as PGIs and PDOs, the application process for obtaining a PGI or a PDO and the methods by which they can be enforced.  The podcast concludes by asking what the future holds for the development of this idiosyncractic but highly interesting intellectual property right.
