- Champagne, Feta, and Bourbon - The Spirited Debate About Geographical Indications
October 23, 2006 - "Geographical indications" (GIs) are a controversial kind of intellectual property recognized under the TRIPS Agreement. The international debate over GI protection frequently focuses on a few hot-button words - words like Champagne, Parmesan, Parma ham, Chablis, and Budweiser - all of which are claimed exclusively by European countries. Professor Justin Hughes of Cardozo Law School discusses such terms, and explores broader issues of strong GI protection, including questions over consumer welfare, genericness, agricultural policies in relation to globalization, and the monopoly rents that come from control of place names with powerful evocative uses.
