第23條 對葡萄酒和烈酒地理標識的額外保護
1. Each Member shall provide the legal means for interested parties to prevent use of a geographical indication identifying wines for wines not originating in the place indicated by the geographical indication in question or identifying spirits for spirits not originating in the place indicated by the geographical indication in question,even where the true origin of the goods is indicated or the geographical indication is used in translation or accompanied by expressions such as “kind”,“type”,“style”,“imitation”or the like. 4
1.每個成員應為有利害關系的各方提供法律手段,以防止將識別葡萄酒的地理標識用于并非來源于該地理標識所表明地方的葡萄酒,或防止將識別烈酒的地理標識用于并非來源于該地理標識所表明地方的烈酒,即使對貨物的真實原產(chǎn)地已表明,或該地理標識是經(jīng)翻譯后使用的,或伴有“種類”、“類型”、“特色”、“仿制”或類似表述方式。
2. The registration of a trademark for wines which contains or consists of a geographical indication identifying wines or for spirits which contains or consists of a geographical indication identifying spirits shall be refused or invalidated, ex officio if a Member's legislation so permits or at the request of an interested party,with respect to such wines or spirits not having this origin.

在葡萄酒的地理標識同名的情況下,在遵守第22條第4款規(guī)定的前提下,應對每一種標識均予保護。每一成員應確定切實可行的條件以便該同名標識可相互區(qū)分,同時考慮確保公正地對待有關生產(chǎn)者并使消費者不致被誤導的需要。
4. In order to facilitate the protection of geographical indications for wines,negotiations shall be undertaken in the Council for TRIPS concerning the establishment of a multilateral system of notification and registration of geographical indications for wines eligible for protection in those Members participating in the system.
