Chapter 2 looks at the international regulation of GIs. It surveys the Paris Convention for the Protection of Industrial Property 1883; Madrid Agreement for the Repression of False or Deceptive Indications of Source of Goods 1891; International Convention on the Use of Appellations of Origin and Denominations of Cheeses (‘Stresa Convention’) 1951; Lisbon Agreement for the Protection of Appellations of Origin and their Registration; and in particular, the GIs provisions of the WTO Agreement on Trade Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS Agreement), which is increasingly influencing the jurisprudence of the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU). Finally, it looks at recent proposals to revive the Lisbon Agreement.
