Outside the European Union, corporations attempt to trademark for their own use such geographical designations as 'Parma ham,' while striving to keep their own products, such as 'scotch tape' from becoming 'genericized' trademarks.

Seems rather POV to me. -- Khym Chanur

I agree. It would be useful to indicate how/whether such names are protected outside of the EU but not in this way. I suggest moving the text here (as you did above) pending further information. -- Viajero 08:53, 27 Oct 2003 (UTC)

Optim, do we really want to get into the business of listing all of the products covered by this legislation? The external link at the bottom of the page links to a European Commisssion site which does our work for us. My feeling is that it isn't worth duplicating this kind of information unless there is a real likeihood we can be comprehensive OR we can provide some kind of added value. -- Viajero 19:21, 24 Dec 2003 (UTC)

Wikipedia is GFDL, other sites are (C). IMO GFDL'ness is enough to justify inclusion in WP. But I dont care much, if you like feel free to revert the page, it's no problem for me. I also dont think that I will find time to list all of the products. Optim 19:26, 24 Dec 2003 (UTC)

[edit] Thoughts on assessment

This seems more on the B side than not but I do have some concerns. Extra opinions are sought. First and foremost is that referencing need some major help. There is a lack of historical context detailing how the concept of a PDO came into account. It also seems like there can be more details on Australia, Canada as well as comment on how this concept is considered outside of the Western World. Agne^Cheese/^Wine 00:14, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Kona Coffee?

Kona coffee, the best and the most expensive coffee, from the Kona village on the Big Island island of Hawaii.

I have no idea what this is supposed to mean. Can someone help here please? The best I can come up with is:

...such as Kona coffee, the best and the most expensive coffee, from the Kona village on the Big Island island of Hawaii.

-or-

Kona coffee, the best and the most expensive coffee, is from the Kona village on the Big Island island of Hawaii.

Either way its seems rather POV, not to mention trite. Who says Kona coffee is the best? And why do I, the average reader, care?Awhit003 (talk) 04:55, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
