Download or read book Geographical Indications for Food Products written by Marsha A. Echols and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 2016-09-15 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the first edition of this indispensable volume nearly a decade ago, great changes have taken place in the national and international legal and regulatory frameworks for geographical indications (GIs) systems for food products. Rather than limitation (designed to prevent the use of ‘culture’ for protectionist purposes), the preponderance now favours recognition of GIs, with enforcement directed at protection. While the World Trade Organization (WTO) and its Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS) remain the multilateral legal benchmarks for GIs, the field has been assertively entered by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) with the 2015 Geneva Act (which adds GIs to the Lisbon Agreement), national laws in key jurisdictions, and bilateral and proposed mega-regional trade agreements with provisions on food vastly more detailed than the relevant TRIPS articles. Still notable for its thorough exploration of the meaning of the TRIPS commitments, the second edition brings to its commentary and guidance a new perspective that takes the changed conditions fully into account. With no sacrifice of depth, the author covers a wide range of issues such as the following: • estimates of the value added by origin and tradition; • GIs as a tool for national and local development; • growing importance of the concepts heirloom, heritage, and local; • minimum standards of protection under TRIPS; • administration and policing of product characteristics; • procedures followed by the European Union, India, Japan and others; • applicable laws concerning labelling and unfair business practices; • traditional communal nature of GIs versus private property characterization; • significance of the WTO’s Agreement on Technical Barriers to Trade; • administrative and procedural rules at WTO, regional, and national levels; • the role of the Codex Alimentarius; and • the role of the TRIPS Council. Given that experience and research have revealed the great financial and cultural value of GIs, this thoroughly updated detailed analysis and interpretation of current trends in food product regulation worldwide is of crucial importance to an adequate understanding of the trade rules that apply to the recognition, protection, and enforcement of GIs and competing names. It is sure to be of great value to those concerned with this specialized field, whether practitioners, food producers and traders, jurists, officials, policymakers, or academics.

Download or read book The Law Economics and Politics of International Standardisation written by Panagiotis Delimatsis and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2015-12-11 with total page 519 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In an era of increased reliance on private regulatory bodies and globalised economic activity, standardisation is the field where politics, technical expertise and strategic behaviour meet and interact. International standard-setting bodies exemplify the rise of transnational governance and the challenges that it brings about relating to institutional choice, legitimacy, procedural and substantive fairness or transparency. This book takes a more empirical-based approach focusing on the mechanics of international standard-setting. It constitutes a multidisciplinary inquiry into the foundations of international standard-setting, an empirically under-researched yet important area of international informal lawmaking. Contributors expertly examine the peculiarities of international standardisation in selected issue-areas and legal orders and shed light on the attributes of international standard-setters, allowing comparisons among standard-setting bodies with a view to identifying best practices and improve our understanding about standardisation processes.
