<p>Hi!</p>
<p>I believe these varied registers of Brazil's plants, foods, minerals and whatsoever comes from the trauma of the registering Acai by some american. Registering acai was like registering apple, so people got wary about it.<br>

do we have any south american pirates on the list who can provide
better background as to how the brazilian GI protection is
developing?<br>
<br>
i deduce from this blogpost that GI protection in at least brazil is
taking a very different turn from the one in europe (although i
would be happy to receive any refuting words on this assumption)?<br>
<br>
sincerely,<br>

Last week the Brazilian Intellectual Property Office (<a href="http://www.inpi.gov.br/index.php/quem-somos/noticias/787-deferida-indicacao-geografica-para-o-marmore-de-cachoeiro-do-itapemirim" target="_blank">INPI</a>)
announced the granting of geographical indication (GI) to ‘Cachoeiro
de Itapemirim ‘ for marble. Producers of Itapemirim will now have a
period of 60 days- from the notification day, to pay the fee for the
issuance of the certificate and thus completing the formality of
this process.<br>
<br>
The recognition given to the municiplity of ‘Cachoeiro de
Itapemirim’ is justified as the site is nationally and
internationally well known as a center for mining and processing of
marble. It is said that with the introduction of new techniques of
extraction and processing, the marble produced in Cachoeiro de
Itapemirim has “reached a level of quality and beauty comparable to
the best marble found in international market”.<br>
<br>
I definitelly admire all the different kinds of products that Brazil
is given protection throught the GI system - don't you? I mean apart
from the usual cheese, wines, spirits and other foodstuff, we have
seen a range of unusual ones such as metal, gem, grass and even
shoes. You have to love it! This is truly devoted love, support, and
defense of one's country products.<br>
