I didn't know that cats like Yorkshire Pudding - but the IP Kat is all over it today. “Yorkshire Pudding” is being proposed as an official EU Geographic Indication ("GI"). And Canada is negotiating an FTA with the EU - so this has implications here. If you don’t believe me, see the IP Kat & BBCSo - does this mean that, if Canada signs a Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) with the EU, I won't be able to order "Yorkshire Pudding" with my roast beef here in Ottawa at Hy’s, unless it's flown over fresh from Yorkshire? It would probably be a bit flat and soggy after the flight. What's next? Beef Wellington, Worcester Sauce, Dover Sole?
Jeremy and I are are doing intensive research on the economic, diplomatic and other public policy issues - not to mention - legal - that this initiative could provoke. As is often the case, the IP Kat is first to pounce upon delectable intellectual property morsels.
