香槟地理标志保护的启示

Enlightenment of Geographical Indication Protection for Champagne

中国依据保护工业产权巴黎公约对香槟进行地理标志保护,与其他国家相比,中国对香槟地理标志的保护水平较高。国外对香槟地理标志保护的不同态度及曲折发展历程启示我们,对香槟进行地理标志保护虽然是历史发展的必然,但对香槟进行地理标志保护应该获得更大的重视,维护中国葡萄酒企业和消费者的利益。

China has practiced geographical indication protection for champagne according to Paris Convention on the Protection of Industrial Property. Compared with other countries, geographical indication protection for champagne in China is quite satisfactory. The different attitude towards geographical indication protection for champagne and its circuitous development process in other countries suggested that although geographical indication protection for champagne is the necessity of historical development, we should try our best to safeguard the interests of our wineries and the consumers in such protection process.
