(b) spirits which contain or consist of a geographical indication identifying spirits
shall be refused or cancelled by the Registrar on the Registrar's own motion or at the request of an
interested party, where the wines or spirits do not have the origin claimed.
Section 20—Exceptions.
(1) Nothing in this Act prevents continued and similar use in this country of a particular geographical
indication of another country identifying wines or spirits in connection with goods or services by a
national or domiciliary of this country who used that geographical indication in a continuous manner
with regard to the same or related goods or services in any part of this country either
(a) for at least ten years preceding April 15, 1994; or
(b) in good faith preceding that date.
(2) Where a trade mark has been applied for or registered in good faith, or where rights to a trademark
have been acquired through use in good faith either
(a) before the date of entry into force of this Act; or
(b) before the geographical indication is protected in its country of origin,
this Act shall not prejudice the registrability of or the validity of the registration of the trademark or the
right to use the trademark on the basis that the trademark is identical with, or similar to, a geographical
indication.
