New guide offers tips on securing GI protection in China

The China IPR SME Helpdesk, a service of the European Commission, has published a “Guide to Geographic Indications in China” which makes sense of the country’s two-track system for protecting the goodwill of GI organisations. It is a useful reference for those whose portfolio includes these rights but have not yet registered them in China – and if some statistics WTR has come across are to be believed, there may be quite a few organisations in that category.
