At Basck, there's probably only one thing we’re almost as passionate about as intellectual property - and that’s food! 🍽️ You may already know that some famous recipes are protected by trade secrets (looking at you, The Coca-Cola Company🥤 and KFC 🍗). But did you know that products with a specific geographical origin, known for their unique qualities or reputation tied to that region, can have their names protected? 📜 🌍 This is where Geographical Indications (#GI) come in - an intellectual property right that links products to their origin, safeguarding the reputation of distinctive regional goods while supporting local producers 🏞️ Check out the list of some of the products protected by the EUIPO - European Union Intellectual Property Office. Did you know No. 5 made the cut? 👀 #IntellectualProperty #GeographicalIndications #TradeSecrets #FoodIndustry #RegionalGoods
