In this thoroughly revised and updated third edition, Michael Blakeney investigates the European laws regulating the use of geographical indications (GIs) in the marketing of agricultural products, food, wines and spirits, and cultural products such as handicrafts.

• Analysis of the impact of Brexit on GIs for British products in the EU and EU products in Britain

Providing practical advice and analysis, this third edition continues to be an essential resource for legal practitioners of intellectual property, international economic law and trade law, advising or working within the agriculture, crafts and food industries in the EU. Policymakers and businesses marketing their products under GIs will also find this book beneficial.

Critical Acclaim
‘The book provides substantial international context that helps explain some of the changes to EU GI laws over time. In terms of the substance of the laws, this book takes a slightly different approach to many other IP textbooks. It has a more procedural focus and takes the reader through the provisions of the relevant EU Regulations, adding commentary and insights from the case law as needed.’
