Spain – A sparkling Judgment: a Spanish Court enforces the French Geographical Indication “Champagne”.
Interestingly enough, the claim was construed on the basis of the French legislation on Geographical Indications (directly applicable in Spain by virtue of a Bilateral Agreement signed between the two countries in 1973) and the Spanish Unfair Competition legislation.
After acknowledging the reputation of the French Geographical Indication “Champagne” in Spain, the Court ordered the defendants to cease in all use of the name “Champagne” and to pay damages to the plaintiffs in the amount of Euro 5,471. Posted by: Ignacio Marques @ 02.02
