Designation of origin and geographical indications

We defend designations of origin and geographical indications against the different ways in which they are infringed, advising during this process the corresponding management bodies not only in the pre-litigation phase, but also representing them before both civil and criminal Courts, where we have obtained ruling of major importance, in all types of legal actions and proceedings to defend their rights.

Similarly, within the work we do at BAYLOS regarding the protection and defence of designations of origin and geographical indications, we also initiate all kinds of actions before the Industrial and Intellectual Property Offices (Spanish Patent and Trademark Office and European Union Intellectual Property Office) and before both Spanish and Community Courts against applications for industrial property rights that come into conflict with our clients’ designations of origin and geographical indications and/or intend to take advantage of the reputation associated with them. Our experience and knowledge in the defence of designations of origin and geographical indications have led us to represent some of the most important ones at a global level. We have particular experience in the field of spirits.
