• Trademarks, Geographical Indications and Environmental Labelling to Promote Biodiversity: The Case of Agroforestry Coffee in India

Marie-Vivien, D., Garcia, C. A., Kushalappa, C. G., & Vaast, P. .  

In: Development Policy Review (2014), 32(4), 379–398. doi: 10.1111/dpr.12060

The  district  of  Kodagu,  also  called  Coorg,  in  the  Western  Ghats  of  India produces 2% of the world’s coffee, the expansion and intensification of which have  reduced  the  forest  cover  by  more  than  30%  in  20  years.  Innovative actions  are  therefore  urgently  required  to  link  economic  development  and biodiversity  conservation,  and  stakeholders  are  exploring  three  strategies  to add  value  to  coffee  from  Coorg  and  prevent  further  biodiversity  erosion: registration  of  trademarks;  geographical  indications;  and  environmental certification,  via  eco-labels.  This  article  analyses  their  respective  strengths and weaknesses and discusses the synergies between them.  

•  La protection de l'indication géographique de produits industriels et artisanaux : le choix d'un régime juridique spécifique en question. .

• Marie-Vivien, D. (2013). The Protection of Geographical Indications for Handicrafts: How to Apply the Concepts of Natural and Human Factors to All Products. WIPO Journal, 4(2), 191-203.

Many countries protect their traditional local products, particularly handicrafts, under the World Trade Organization's TRIPS agreement. However, such goods are not protected within the european Union, unlike agricultural and food products, which increases the risks of fakes. A historical analysis of protection in Europe and practices in Europe and India shows that treating different products differently is not warranted. Hence the proposal of creating an international legal framework centring on the strength of the link to the origin, which would be assessed based on natural and human factors. 

• La protection des Indications Géographiques: France, Europe, Inde

Depuis la signature de l'Accord sur les aspects de droit de propriété intellectuelle touchant au commerce (ADPIC), les membres de I'OMC doivent protéger les indications géographiques qui identifient un produit dont la qualité, la réputation  ou toute autre caractéristique peuvent être attribuées àson origine géographique. Ainsi en est-il des indications Champagne, Roquefort, café de Colombie, Darjeeling, Basmati ou encore Pashmina du Cachemire. Or l'Inde, pays émergent à l'histoire millénaire a adopté un cadre juridique pour la protection des indications géographiques qui éclaire d'un jour nouveau le concept de lien entre un produit et son origine, formalisé en France au début du 20ème siècle avec l'appellation d'origine, puis homogénéisé au niveau européen en 1992. A travers une analyse comparée, cet ouvrage montre comment l'Inde protège ses produits artisanaux en réponse aux menaces de la mondialisation. L'expérience indienne questionne le droit français et européen quant à l'existence d'un lien à l'origine par les seuls savoir-faire traditionnels, en l'absence d'influence de la nature. Par ailleurs, le rôle omniprésent de l'Etat en Inde, notamment en tant que déposant-propriétaire d'IG contraste avec le retrait de l'intervention des pouvoirs publics en France. Ceci interroge la nature juridique de l'IG. L'auteur propose de qualifier l'IG de droit d'usage, plus précisemment de droit d'usage d'une chose commune, rejetant le concept de propriété.

• The role of the State in the protection of geographical indications: From disengagement in France/Europe to significant involvement in India

In : The journal of world intellectual property - (2010) vol.13: n°2 

Geographical indications (GIs) are remarkably different from other instruments of intellectual property rights (IPRs). Their acreage to the local provides an original scheme of governance. Contrary to other IPRs, GIs have only been homogenized in a very small way in the international legal framework. The issue is whether GIs are implemented as any other IPR, due to their collective and public dimensions. In particular, what is the role conferred to the state in the protection of GIs? The French legal framework, which largely influenced the European legal framework, is based on long traditions of protection of the appellations of origin and GIs where the role of the state has been declining, in order to give more responsibilities to the producer groups. The control task has been transferred from the state to the certification bodies to increase the guarantee of quality. The Indian experience, a post- TRIPS Agreement (the Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights) example, shows a state and its agencies which are very active in the process of filing GI applications, including being themselves the applicant and eventually the proprietor. This might be justified by the lack of strong producer organization. These different roles of the state between France/Europe and India give a new understanding of the legal nature of GIs.
