Intellectual property is divided into two categories: Industrial property, which includes inventions (patents), trademarks, industrial designs, and geographic indications of source.
You got me-- maybe you can patent something based on the fact that it comes from where you live? Like patenting a new kind of mineral you found or something...
"Geographic indications of source can be defined as being the name of a region, specific place or, in exceptional cases, of a country which serves to designate or identify a product originating from that region, specific place or country and whose reputation, specific quality or characteristics can be attributed to it’s specific geographic source or origin, and whose production, transformation or manufacture, take place in that specific geographic location.
The registration of a geographic indications of source obtained in Portugal only has legal effects in Portugal and does not protect the geographic indications of source in any other country (industrial property rights are rights applied locally, only enjoying protection in the country in which they were registered)."
I wish. :knegg: Det hadde vært perfekt om han hadde rett, for da hadde jeg ikke trengt å skrive mer.
Frøys wikilink sier dette: A geographical indication (GI) is a name or sign used on certain products which corresponds to a specific geographical location or origin (eg. a town, region, or country). The use of a GI may act as a certification that the product possesses certain qualities, or enjoys a certain reputation, due to its geographical origin.
Så da antar jeg at det betyr at man kan patentere Bergenske fiskekaker som et navn på akkurat DET fiskekakeproduktet?
Jeg tror som Adrienne, at det er varemerker knyttet til hvor varen er dyrket/produsert/osv. Vinbransjen har flust av dem, som Champagne og Cognac. Den italienske appelasjonen DOCG er også et eksempel.
