More GI Regulations protect names in EU
The past few weeks have seen an acceleration in the number of Regulations which accord protected status to the names of specified products within the European Union. While many of us have little or no familiarity with the subject matter of any given geographical indication -- and we can lead quite rich and fulfilling lives without encountering Spargel aus dem Anbaugebiet Schrobenhausen either professionally or on our dinner plates -- each of these Regulations is a part of European Union law and has an impact on the use of protected terms for descriptive or other purposes as well as affecting the availability of geographical and other terms for trade mark purposes. It is therefore without apology that Class 46 presents this batch of Regulations, with the promise of more to come in the near future:
