\nThe GIANT Project builds on the work of TED but with a focus specifically on geographic indications: intellectual property claims that are increasingly dominating international trade talks today. Though geographic indications have been around in various forms for over one hundred years, countries have only recently begun staking legal claims to products once thought to be generic, such as parmesan cheese, catfish, and whiskey. As international trade barriers continue to fall, geographic indications represent a new type of trade restriction that hold important implications for industries and countries worldwide.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
