“…The GI CoP is currently being used as a tool to measure the product against conventional standards [33] rather than to exemplify and protect the qualities linked to its origin that help differentiate it on the market. The GI was designed to help homogenize and elevate product quality standards but above all, it is used as a marketing tool to help penetrate modern market channels [34,35,46]. After our analysis, it is unclear if any of the intrinsic qualities of the fruit truly differentiate it from other grapefruits on the market.…”

“…Thus, brands have the mechanism of adding value and credibility to the product, as it is a visual form that can make a product known, but unlike geographical indications that have a seal that is also a collective brand, it does not have the function of determining origin and product quality. However, in many cases they will have similar functions as a marketing tool (Calboli, 2015), promotion of local territorial development (Carvalho; Pereira; Ferreira, 2017), essential for international trade (Mancini et al, 2016).…”

“…While agreements such as those concluded with Colombia, Peru and the Caribbean Forum undoubtedly provide some benefits for those nations, the main benefit is for the IP‐intensive sectors in the EU, which gain protections and rules for enforcement that go far beyond the standards provided for in the TRIPS Agreement (see generally Maskus, ). This is particularly the case for developing sectors such as the protection of geographical indications of origin, a sui generic form of protection for agricultural products deemed to possess intrinsic qualities, such as feta cheese, prosciutto di parma or Portuguese linguíça (on GIs see Blakeney, ; Calboli, ), identified as a key ‘offensive’ interest in trade agreements by the European Commission (Farrand, ). GI protected foodstuffs are of considerable financial value to the EU and its agricultural producers, worth €15.8 billion in 2012 with an increase in sale value between 2005 and 2010 of 19 per cent (Chever et al , , p. 16).…”
