Renowned products’ name, like “Figues de Djebba”, “Huile d’olive Téboursouk”, “Muscat de Kelibia” and “Coteaux de Tebourba” can now be protected internationally under the system, through a single registration procedure and one set of fees.
The Geneva Act will enter into force for Tunisia on July 6, 2023, covering 17 Contracting Parties and 55 jurisdictions.
