Current Intelligence

Cancellation of a trade mark based on a prior foreign geographical indication related to different products

Caroline Le Goffic
Université Paris II, School of Law

Darjeeling, Court of Appeal of Paris, 22 November 2006, Propriété Industrielle Bulletin Documentaire (PIBD) 2007, III, p. 90

Formula

The registration and the use of a composite trade mark including a famous geographical indication (GI), for products different to those covered by the GI, are acts of unfair competition insofar as they allow the trade mark owner to free-ride on the GI's reputation, causing its dilution.
