Protection of Geographical Indications

Michael Blakeney, Winthrop Professor of Law, UWA Law School, University of Western Australia

‘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.’
