GIView: the EUIPO database for geographical indications

The European Union Office for Intellectual Property (EUIPO) launched a database of geographical indications recognized and protected in the European Union: GIview.

GIview makes it possible to query the status of a geographical indication abroad under bilateral treaties and conventions. Here are some examples: Fontina (IT) is registered in Japan through the transliteration “フ ォ ン テ ィ ー ナ,” under the agreement between the European Union (EU) and Japan of December 20, 2018; Parma Ham (IT) is registered in Canada under the agreement between the EU and Canada of October 30, 2016, and Cognac (FR) is registered in Singapore under a bilateral agreement of October 19, 2018.
