IP Update | The (EU) GI recipe book: Is geographical goodwill the secret ingredient?

Geographical Indications (GIs) are protected against exploitation, weakening, dilution or detriment to their reputation as enshrined in the new regulation governing wine, spirit drinks and agricultural products (Regulation 2024/1143). In December 2025 an EU-wide GI protection scheme conferring suchlike scope of protection in the ambit of craft and industrial products will become applicable (Regulation 2023/2411).

Join our webinar as we explore the existing body of EU and national case-law in the light of the updated legal framework. We will cover:

  • the different types of infringement,
  • the integrity of a geographical indication,
  • the new rules on the designation of an ingredient in the name of a processed food product,
  • the use of non-agricultural geographical indications to designate a part or component of manufactured products,
  • the relationship between geographical indications and trade marks.

Be equipped to make sense of future jurisprudential developments in this area.
