The purpose of this seminar is to analyse basic issues of IPRs in agrifood industry and their practical enforcement in the international context. Legal experts, academics and practitioners will share their experiences and first-hand knowledge of leading cases, with a focus on wine business, even if take-aways apply to many other food products. Winemaking provides a comprehensive case study, starting from the testing and growing of new grape varieties, to business secrets, patents for novel grape harvesting machines and IPRs which guarantee the quality of the product, its geographical origin and link the bottled result to a particular winemaker.
