USA/China - Food and Protection of Geographical Indications
USA
Sep 23, 2024
Geographical indications serve as critical means for protecting the unique qualities and heritage of food products linked to specific areas within the international framework. From a comparative point of view, the European Union stands out for its sui generis system based on the concepts of terroir and reputation, which aims to boost market value and conserves cultural heritage by safeguarding regional foods. The United States adopts a trademark-centric approach that prioritises brand and name protection, offering less emphasis on regional specificity. China is on a path to strengthening its GI protection regime, aiming to promote agricultural heritage and enhance market presence. This comparative perspective highlights the varied legal and cultural approaches to GI protection among the world’s major economies, reflecting the intricate interplay of globalisation, trade, and cultural identity within the food sector.
