<i>‘Collectively, the chapters provide a forward-looking, contextual appraisal of GIs and their role in creating a more sustainable world.’</i>

- Jocelyn Bosse, The IPKat,

This book brings together leading experts to provide original and contemporary perspectives on the evolution and current state of Geographical Indications (GI) at European and global levels. It also explores the challenges this dynamic field is likely to face in the foreseeable future.



With careful analysis of the latest trends shaping this area of Intellectual Property Law, the book explores the evolution of GI systems across the globe. The chapters cover key topics such as the development of the 2015 Geneva Act, the GI protection of crafts and industrial products, sui generis GI systems in Africa and wine GI protection in Australia. The book further examines a range of diverse legal frameworks that have been implemented in both established and emerging regions, including the EU’s Farm to Fork Strategy.



The Future of Geographical Indications is an essential resource for legal scholars and students in the field of GIs, Trademarks and Intellectual Property Law more generally. Legal professionals practising in Intellectual Property will also benefit from the book’s highly technical analysis of the most relevant novelties in the field.
