Geographical indications and tobacco control measures: What about the legitimate interests of the owners of geographical indications?

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract / Description of output

The decision of the WTO panel in the Australia – Plain Packaging case as it relates to geographical indications (GIs) is consistent with the TRIPS Agreement. This article however contends that the decision exposes a lacuna in the TRIPS Agreement regarding the recognition of the legitimate interests of GI owners in using their GIs in the course of trade vis-à-vis the right of states to regulate the use of GIs.
