Law of appellations of origin and indications of source | Olszak

NORBERT OLSZAKGeographical indications play an increasingly important role in global trade, but their legal aspects are becoming more complex. In recent years, there has been a proliferation of international, European, and French rules, to which their status as public law ensures precedence over other distinctive signs of industrial property. The surge in litigation accompanying this regulatory inflation makes this book a recent and educational synthesis on a matter of great economic and commercial importance. The first part, illustrated with numerous examples, is devoted to the legal characteristics of geographical indications: general characteristics, differentiation and hierarchization, legal nature. The second part examines their legal regime, organized by various international, European, and French institutions. This book is aimed at practitioners and students specializing in industrial property law, rural and agri-food law, or consumer law.Publisher: TEC & DOC, 15 x 24 cm, 187 pages - paperback
