The JP Karsenty & Associés Intellectual Property Newsletter, July 2023 written by Nathalie Tourrette, Pierre Trusson and Mado-Luna Gaudel reviews the following news:

On April 13, 2022, the European Commission published a proposal for a Regulation on geographical indication protection for craft and industrial products (“GIPCIP”).

This proposal was drafted after several years of discussions between representatives of industrial and craft product producers, European regions, and Members of the European Parliament.

The European Commission’s proposal aims to provide a similar level of protection at the European Union level, with the objective of promoting local know-how and fighting against illicit uses.

On May 30, 2023, during a trialogue between the Commission, the Parliament and the Council, the parties agreed on a modified version of the Regulation proposal, which will be presented for the first reading before the European Parliament next September.
