Registration of Agrofood trademarks and protection in Puglia.
A path for Agrofood activities in Puglia: from product name to solutions, projects and relationships with partners.
The territorial context in ISTAT data.
191,430 agricultural holdings in 2020, in the perimeter Agricultural holdings census: primary production, not whole agri-food chain.
Regional data for Puglia: 16.90% of the national total of 1,133,023 farms listed. It is not a count of all companies of the agri-food chain.
Apulia is the number 1 territory among the five selected for the observed variety. The position is not a quality ranking, innovation or need for protection.
From the context to the project of the enterprise.
Primary production introduces specific needs: manufacturer identity, declared origin, relationships with transformers and distributors and process information management. The company trademark should not be confused with a name of origin or a geographical indication. Food & Beverage focuses on food processing and beverages.
The territory of activity helps to describe the chain and the partners; the choice of the protection markets depends on where the trademark and other assets are used. For the activities of Apulia the comparison starts from products, customers, commercial channels and expansion projects, without assuming that the registration has to be limited to the place of the headquarters.
Assets to focus.
Manufacturer name and product lines
Evaluate the sign used on the products, catalogues and direct sale, with attention to the ownership and uses already started.
Packaging and presentation
Collect projects, photographs, labels and agreements with designers to reconstruct the creation and use of distinctive elements.
Processes and information of supply chain
Document who develops solutions, what information must remain confidential and how it is shared between producer, transformer and partner.
Prepare the first confrontation.
- Agricultural and processed products marketed
- Names, labels and sales channels
- Titularity of projects and chain agreements
- Origin of products and target markets
Indicates whether the activity operates in the capital, in other municipalities of the territory or in several regions. It is useful to distinguish headquarters, production, distribution and target markets. The confidential information can be shared after agreeing to the methods of comparison.
The passage to be checked
Before using references to the origin, collective signs or references to PDO and PGI you must check the requirements and rules applicable to the concrete product. The registration of a trademark does not automatically confer the right to use a protected name.
