In China, policy responsibility for Geographical Indications (GI) is split between three Ministry-level bodies: the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection & Quarantine (AQSIQ), the Ministry of Agriculture (MOA) and the State Administration for Industry & Commerce (SAIC). GIs can be an effective channel to help traditional industries and culture flourish, and China now has thousands of registered GIs under various systems. The SAIC also examines and grants applications for collective and certification trade marks. But what are the different functions of GIs and trade marks? When are different types of protection appropriate? How should registered GIs be monitored and protected after registration, and what are the responsibilities of producers and government bodies? Join us at the 9th UK-China IP Salon for an evening of open discussion with leading Chinese experts and Lindesay Low – a representative of Scotch Whisky, one of the first foreign producers to achieve GI and collective trade mark registration in China. The event is jointly hosted by the British Embassy Beijing and China University of Politics Science & Law.
