Talk:Protected designation of origin
|

- Outside the European Union, corporations attempt to trademark for their own use such geographical designations as 'Parma ham,' while striving to keep their own products, such as 'scotch tape' from becoming 'genericized' trademarks.
Seems rather POV to me. -- Khym Chanur
- I agree. It would be useful to indicate how/whether such names are protected outside of the EU but not in this way. I suggest moving the text here (as you did above) pending further information. -- Viajero 08:53, 27 Oct 2003 (UTC)
Optim, do we really want to get into the business of listing all of the products covered by this legislation? The external link at the bottom of the page links to a European Commisssion site which does our work for us. My feeling is that it isn't worth duplicating this kind of information unless there is a real likeihood we can be comprehensive OR we can provide some kind of added value. -- Viajero 19:21, 24 Dec 2003 (UTC)
- Wikipedia is GFDL, other sites are (C). IMO GFDL'ness is enough to justify inclusion in WP. But I dont care much, if you like feel free to revert the page, it's no problem for me. I also dont think that I will find time to list all of the products. Optim 19:26, 24 Dec 2003 (UTC)
