Turkey’s new Law on Industry Property consolidates and updates existing decrees covering Geographical Indications (GIs). There are 402 GI applications in the registration process in Turkey, including two food products of Italian origin: GRANO PADANO and GORGONZOLA. Currently four international GIs have been protected including: CHAMPAGNE, PROSCIUTTO DI PARMA, SCOTCH WHISKY and PARMIGIANO REGGIANO in addition to 269 Turkish products. Once GI applications are published in the Turkish Patent and Trademark Office Bulletin there is a three month objection period.
