The EUIPO has launched GIview, a database of geographical indications recognised and protected in the European Union. Beyond consolidating EU-level registrations, the tool's main practical interest lies in verifying the status of geographical indications in third countries under bilateral treaties and agreements. The article illustrates this with three examples drawn from the database: Fontina, the Italian cheese, registered in Japan under its transliteration pursuant to the EU-Japan agreement of 20 December 2018; Parma Ham, protected in Canada under the EU-Canada agreement of 30 October 2016; and Cognac, protected in Singapore under a bilateral agreement of 19 October 2018. GIview thus enables producers, right holders and their advisers to check quickly whether, and on what legal basis, a European geographical indication enjoys protection outside the European Union, supporting enforcement and brand-protection strategies in the sector.
