The Sparkling Wine War
by Lindsey A. Zahn on August 20, 2010
With respect to On Reserve’s post on geographical indications and trademarks in the wine industry, I recently stumbled upon an article in the ABA Business Law Section written by Carol Robertson (author of The Little Red Book of Wine Law). The article grants a greater depth to the background of the legal conflict between geographical indications and trademarks in the wine industry, distinguishes between the varying legal perspectives of the United States and Europe, and discusses the 2006 agreement, the International Agreement of Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights. To access Ms. Robertson’s article, please visit The Sparkling Wine War.
