Class 46 - for your European trade mark news

Now in its sixth year, Class 46 is dedicated to European trade mark law and practice. This weblog is written by a team of enthusiasts who want to spread the word and share their thoughts with others.


	SATURDAY, 13 DECEMBER 2008 More GI news Last week saw the online publication of Council Regulation 1229/2008 of 10 December 2008 entering certain names in the Register of protected designations of origin and protected geographical indications (San Simón da Costa (PDO), Ail blanc de Lomagne (PGI), Steirischer Kren (PGI)). This Regulation, as its name suggests, confers protected geographical indication status on Ail blanc de Lomagne -- a French garlic -- and the Austrian horseradish Steirischer Kren. It also confers protected designation of origin status on the Spanish San Simón da Costa cheese. Posted by: Jeremy Phillips @ 19.18 Tags: Geographical indications,
