Geographical indications and designations of origin

In the agri-food sector, the particular relationship that often connects a product to its place of origin gives rise to special problems regarding the protection both of trademarks and against counterfeiting and unfair competition. It is therefore crucial to know how the most appropriate protection instruments - designations of origin, geographical indications and trademarks - work.
