Frank Schoneveld and Marc Sorini were quoted in the May 20 issue of Managing Intellectual Property in an article discussing the regulatory issues that alcohol manufacturers and distributors face when importing their product into the European Union and United States. Mr. Sorini said that while many people regard the U.S. as one of the most open economies in the world, when it comes to alcohol, "The regulatory system is more complicated, more expensive and more time consuming than you could have possibly imagined." Mr. Schoneveld advised people not only to register trade marks, but also to look at getting additional protection such as protected designation, traditional specialty guaranteed and, if possible, protected geographical indication.
