What do the measures recently passed by the European Parliament, unifying the national rules on the protection of geographical indicators (GIs), mean for EU craftspeople and the crafts sector? What are GIs and how are they applicable to craft products? How will this strengthen the legal protection for products covered by GIs and what is the role of the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) in protecting the GIs of EU craft?

Join World Crafts Council-Europe at the webinar with speakers that include Audrey Aubard, Secretary General of French Association of Industrial and Artisanal Geographical Indications (FFIGIA) and representatives from European organisations as well as presentations of best practices / examples from European countries.

The webinar is free of charge and open for all to attend. Find detailed information about the event here.
