<p>Tx to Mary for the table. I would be interested to hear more how
people feel about the EU/US/WIPO definitions of Collective Mark,
Certification Mark and Appellations of Origin feel about the
listed definitions. <br>
</p>
<p>Also, at the bottom of the document, there are 3 sections that
may be of special interest for our upcoming discussion: <i>differences
between GIs and trademarks, differences between GIs and
geographical names </i>and <i>differences between GIs and Appellations
of Origin. </i> I'll certainly be reviewing this again before
the call. <br>
</p>
<p>Best, Kathy<br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Staff has
updated the table of open TMCH questions (on design marks,
GIs and TMCH matching rules) with the new proposal on GIs
submitted on Friday by Jonathan Agmon (see attached
document). Given the ongoing Working Group discussions on
the mailing list on some of these topics, we have not
attempted to summarize the specific discussion items and
sub-topics, but we will be happy to do so if this will be
helpful.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Also
attached is the staff-prepared glossary of terms relating to
design marks and GIs, which we have updated slightly to note
the new Amending Regulation in the EU concerning the
definition of a trademark. We hope the glossary is helpful
to everyone in distinguishing and/or defining many of the
terms and usages around design/device/composite/figurative
marks, collective and certification marks, GIs and
appellations of origin, etc.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">You may also
wish to note that WIPO maintains a searchable database of
the IP laws of many countries, which you can specify the
country of search as well as the type of IP right (e.g.
copyright, GIs, industrial design, patents, trademarks etc.)
for which you are seeking the applicable legislation or
treaty:
