Kosovo's GIs law: available in English
Back in July a new Law on Geographical Indications and Designations of Origin entered into force in Kosovo. Under this provision, GIs can be registered at Kosovo’s Intellectual Property Office, and any GI in the name of a region, a specific place or even a state, can be registered if it's used to describe a specific product originating from that region or state can be registered.

As one might expect, registered names will be protected against any direct or indirect commercial use of products that are not registered, any misuse, imitation or infringement, each inaccurate (false) or misleading indication in terms of genealogy, origin, nature or essential qualities of the product, and every other practice or action that may mislead the consumer as to the true origin of the product.
The law includes penalty provisions, including monetary fines, for various kinds of infraction.
