...it's the cheese. Nothing beat my Grandma's; hell is knowing what it is, and having a hard time finding more, (even in Cyprus).

From all the reports I’m seeing is that the Australian Dairy Farmers fund the EU demands unnacceptable.

They are saying Halloumi, an animal product, is produced all over the world.

And, I wouldn’t be surprised if most Halloumi in Cyprus is imported.

Cypriots don’t want to make cheese or farm. Interferes with Frappe time.

Don't worry, we won't lose much sleep over what a bunch of Australian farmers think. We represent 16% of the world's economy...you don't count

And not to mention that the boomerang was invented in Cyprus back when Catherine Cornaro threw her husband out the house and flung a teratsi at him.

It came right back and she caught it and threw it again!

You see, her husband had an affair with Christina “the vize” of Potamia, and she found out about it.

Maybe I am not fully up to speed on this,

But isn't Halloumi a trade mark.

Just like Nike make sneakers, it doesn't stop others from making sneakers,

The issue is if others make sneakers and try to sell them as Nike's or sell these sneakers under that trade mark.

Another example would be McDonald s. Anyone can sell burgers and french fries but you cant sell under their trade mark, or sell burgers and French fries made with the same ingredients.

Australian manufacturers of Cypriot cheese will have to comply with international trade mark, intellectual property and patent laws.

Or they will have to make their own style of Halloumi and call it something else. Like Cypriot style cheese.

Halloumi is trade marked and its ingredients are of protected status.

Correct me if I am wrong.

Is Ouzo a trademark?

No but it’s a specific product made in a specific way, and originating from a specific place.

So to use the NOUN “Ouzo” (yes, it becomes a NOUN not a label) on the packaging one has to satisfy all the above criteria.

But the clue is in your answer,

Ouzo is not trade marked, nor does it have protected status.

It has protection because it is a recognized NOUN.

In essence, Halloumi has just become a recognized NOUN.

For example, take the description “3-wheeler”.

Can a vehicle with less than or more than 3 wheels be called a “3-wheeler”?

The answer is no, because everyone knows what to expect from a “3-wheeler” and they will not accept any product with less or more wheels to use that name.

[Maximus]

If the vehicle is being manufactured by a company calling themselves 3-wheeler,

Then no other company can manufacture vehicles and sell them as 3-wheeler.

but that doesnt stop other manufacturers creating 3 wheeled vehicles.

Unless a patent was granted to 3-wheeler that states that only they can make vehicles with only 3 wheels because it is their intellectual property.

do you get it now?
