Geographical Indications

Ordinance No. 1, 08 July 2020 (Portaria SCRI nº 1, de 08 de julho de 2020) (2 page(s), in Portuguese)

The notified Ordinance opens a 30-day period for comments on the preliminary list of persons and legal entities not prevented from using, in the territory of Brazil, protected names recognized as European geographical indication, under the terms of the Mercosur-European Union Association Agreement. The objective of this public consultation is to allow the broad participation of individuals or legal entities, who, with the entry into force of the Agreement, should stop making use of the names in products marketed, both in Brazil and in Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay.
