DESCRIPTION:9I���������'s Centre for Intellectual Property Policy presents Profe
 ssor Rosemary Coombe of York University\, on 'Geographical Indications in 
 New Contexts: The Promise\, Perils and Politics of Protecting Place-Based 
 Products'.  Abstract: 'Geographical indications (GIs) are increasingly pro
 moted as a means to protect the livelihoods of rural farmers and serve loc
 al and indigenous needs. States\, international institutions\, NGOs and de
 velopment agencies advocate the use of GI protections to promote a form of
  development that will ensure community security and environmental sustain
 ability while safeguarding intangible cultural heritage. We situate the de
 velopment of GIs historically and explore the political and economic condi
 tions in which a renewed interest in the use of GIs for rural development 
 and indigenous community aspirations has recently emerged. Focusing on num
 erous examples\, we examine the promise and the perils of using GIs to ach
 ieve development objectives and urge consideration of a rights-based frame
 work for their implementation.”  This event is free for the public\, but l
 awyers seeking Bar accreditation (1.5 hours) must bring a $30 cheque made 
 out to 9I��������� Faculty of Law.  For more information\, please co
