This guy here got a CEASE AND DESIST letter by the "Grana Padano Consortium" for posting a video recipe of his take on Grana Padano STYLE cheese, accusing him of describing how to make "counterfeit copies of Grana Padano". Why are Italians such petty, vindictive little fucks when it comes to their cuisine, bros?

It can be protected by patent, if the process used to obtain the final product is (very long story short) unique. For example let's say you use yeast in a very specific and uncommon way, or you process it through a machine of your invention.
However, just running ingredients through well known processes (cleaning cutting frying etc.) to produce a recipe is not under protection. What you can do is write it in a book and then that specific recipe (the TEXT of it) is under copyright.
The Grana Panado Consortium are known to be picky assholes though. I don't know how far their rights go, the name and origin is probably protected. But not the process.

I'm pretty sure that this actually related to the EU law "protected designation of origins". I don't know how applicable it is outside of EU, but at least inside the Union there are certain food and agricultural products that have their names protected under this law. What this means that you can't sell certain products under those names unless they are produced under the specifications set by the law.
For example you can't call your cheese "feta", unless it's made in Greece and it's produced the traditional way. It looks like Grana Padano is protected by the same law.

Yes, I should totally buy absolute larp about prices that don't exist anywhere. Last time I went out I paid about 13 euros from a very good pizzeria, and that is including seating charge and half a liger of beer. Like I said, show me what restaurant you ate at and we can surely get the menu off of Google or TripAdvisor as literally almost every place has one online nowadays. But you won't because you're making shit up to try and pretend to know what you're talking about. Nobody pays 20 dollars for pizza, this is peak bullshit.

This is a very expensive restaurant in Central Milan. Milan is overpriced and in general you'll pay more than in the rest of Italy. Notice how your bullshit price doesn't even come close.

I'd say in this region pizzas are pretty good compared to world average because of the proximity to Italy and many Italian immigrants.

The problem is that with certain products (not only in Italy) there are a shit load of people who try their hardest to find every possible loophole to sell their stuff as something it is not and cash on the big name. It happens with everything from olive oil, to wine, to cheese.

Nobody will sue anyone if they decide to to put ham instead of guanciale and still call a dish carbonara, because that's just a recipe, nobody has copyrighted the name Carbonara as a brand.
Grana Padano is a brand (like Parmigiano Reggiano, which is a similar cheese), if it wasn't it would be called just generic parmesan cheese, and it's a very specific cheese with a very defined recipe and it's also somewhat protected by the Italian government because heritage and tradition and all that shit.

You can't go around calling your thing as a brand. You can't say you do a Coca Cola style beverage, but you can say you do a cola, just like you can't call your wine Prosecco-style unless it's an actual Prosecco done according to spec.

I agree that going after a YouTuber that I'm assuming isn't even trying to sell anything is a bit excessive, but if you start being lenient on people using your brand for anything that is not in the brand's interests, then you open yourself to a swarm of leeches who will try to capitalise on your name.

They obviously aren't worried that this random guy is going to harm their business, the message is "let it be clear that we don't want anyone fucking with our name", and this guy is basically advertising this message to everyone watching.

>>15130863 and >>15130949 say, plus a good healthy does of consortiums and Italian bureaucracy on top of it.

They didn't patent cheese in general, they patented that cheese done that way with those ingredients arranged in that specific way and the whole process is patented (for lack of a better word) as well. Not much to argue about it.
Just like you can't claim that your beverage is like Coca Cola when it's not or your olive oil is just like Extra Virgin Olive Oil when it's not or your spread is just like Vegemite when it's not.
Even if Grana was "invented" in 2020 and had not tradition whatsoever they would have had the same right to sue everyone misusing their name if their product fulfills the criteria to be protected under the law.

I agree it's an excessive move but as a brand they can do that because it's more about showing everyone that you are not to be fucked with than being actually worried that a literal nobody from the other side of the world is going to make you sell less cheese.

I don't even know if they can enforce their claims or follow through with an actual lawsuit if this guy chooses to ignore the C&D letter, but they are obviously doing this because they are constantly under "attack" from many businesses trying to do as much semantic gymnastics as possible to make the buyers think they are buying Grana instead of just run of the mill parmesan cheese.
It's a symbolic gesture and a bit excessive, nobody is arguing that the guy wants to sell actual Grana Padano.

>I don't get all the extremism about recipes that is especially strong in Italy (and I'm Italian)
I agree, but you have to agree that there is a very clear difference between making something with some sort of variation where it still makes sense and can be recognised as the original recipe (if htere is such a thing) and bastardising a dish, putting in ingredients that make absolutely no sense and in the end wind up being an objectively bad dish, unless you've eaten from dumpster bin all your life and know no better. The later happens most of the time when Brits or Americans try to cook Italian dishes. Either it's heavy cream everywhere, random veggies or herbs that don't make any sense. Worst case is when it is nothing alike. To have a good cookign tradition a healthy amount of elitism is necessary because it breeds higher standards and makes for a distinctive cooking, not a mix of everything and not really anything in particular. That's called culture in broader sense, if you really think about it.

Then don't call it Extra Virgin Olive Oil, it's that simple. But people do it all the time because claiming it's EVOO allows you to sell more and charge more.
I don't know what's hard to grasp. It's not like they copyrighted the words "olive oil" and the whole concept of extracting oil from olives, they are just protecting that specific type of oil done that way.

I don't care how important it was for my culture and I don't get offended if you call ham+egg carbonara like you just insulted my ancestors, I just think you are wrong for the same reason why a ball can't be called a table and 4 tires on the ground with a chair in the middle can't be called a car

How pathetic is your recipe if some boomer hobbyist can unravel it? Furthermore, even if someone "can" make your product in their own home it's not the same as going to a store to buy it because YOU have to do all the work and wait for it to age/ferment. For fuck's sake, big craft beer companies give out their literal recipes (grain bills, hop schedules and all) to the homebrew community as a sign of good faith and because they know that whatever you make at home isn't the same as the product they sell because your setup is different from theirs.

Even if they did the lawsuit has no merit and would be thrown out of any court with a damn. You can't sue someone for leaking trade secrets when they weren't taken from the official source and are, more or less, public domain. That's not even getting into the implications of the validity of using the legal system to regulate cooking hobbyists and sharing of recipes or procedures, trademarked or not.

Umm, I got bad news for ya, scro, the process has been known to the public for decades, which means (1) it cannot be patented, because patens require this thing called "novelty" and the EU in particular requires "absolute novelty" meaning that if you tell your girlfriend you just came up with something cool and new, you can no longer get a patent on it, hell, if your company's janitor sees you whiteboard with the invention on it you're fucked too; and (2) since the process has been in use for more than 20 years it would be unpatentable anyway because of expiration, since the EU fucking demanded that no patent ever last longer than that.

Nevertheless that's the law, particularly in almost the entire world except for the U.S. and a couple of other countries.

You don't have to work in total isolation by yourself alone. But you do have to have an enforceable obligation of confidentiality from every single person who is made aware of your work. That is why companies have employees and contractors sign nondisclosure agreements.

My point about the janitor was probably overreach as long as the company had the good sense to force even their fucking cleaning schlubs to sign NDAs. But if the company didn't, and the floor mopper sees the information, then BOOM your company has lost its rights.

The U.S. gives you a one-year window after public disclosure. I think Argentina and Japan give six months. The EU is absolutist and says you either have an application on file before absolutely anyone else in the world is made aware of what you're doing, or else you're fucked.

It doesn't have to make sense, it's just the law.

>> No.15134292

>>15134208
But how is that enforceable? I mean let's say I'm aware of a soon-to-be patent and I'm not bound by NDAs and the patent owners do file for the patent before I say anything.
Is it enough for me to just go there and say I saw the patent before it was filed for or do I have to notify the authorities before the patent is filed? Like how does that work I don't understand.

He wasn't making a "superior" version. Why do retards insist it is about "le boomerman discovering le recipe" instead of them giving a message out there NOT to use their name? The recipe, nor the process are a secret. The trademark is. The law specifically govenrs what CAN be called and what CAN'T be called Grana Padano. Before you cry about MUH KOMUNIZSM USA USA USA realize that if not for these labels, you'd have grifters making shitty cheese and labelling it as Grana.
tl;dr
Their message, and even their apology, is to say "Don't use our trademark in vain or even in remote relationship to what isn't the real product", not "OMG U STEAL OUR RECIPE XDDDDDDD".
>>15136284
Why, it's an education system clearly meant for retards. Consider that half of their country is some sort of an el goblino and negro mixing pot, I'm not surprised they eat absolute garbage like 3rd worlders (except some 3rd worlders do make excellent food) and have subpar education standards made for people who are obviously lazy, low IQ and obese (obesity probably causes low IQ to a degree).
>>15136110
>>It's not real unless I make it
This, but entirely yes. It is not Grana unless it is made according to the law. Otherwise you'd have anybody selling their shitty knock-off as the REAL GRANA PADAINO I know it's difficult for mutts to comprehrend, but some people have standards when it comes to food production and as a result, Italy has some of the highest quality food available. Even shitty discount stores sell food that was much higher quality than stuff what they sell in UK in stores like Waitrose, whcih are high-end.

Why ape a British cheese they'll make better 999 out fo 1000 times when you can try and make something different? I support geographical indications 100%. If I eat parma or grana cheese I want the stuff I've always known to be of excellent quality and I don't want to suddenly wind up in a situation where the prices for the real thing go up because the market becomes flooded with garbage that claims to be "grana".

Nobody cares until it's time to litigate the patent. If the patentee sues someone over it, then the alleged infringer will go around looking for anyone and everyone who might have been around to try to find some way of invalidating it.

Often it is possible to damage the claims through a process called reexamination, which is an adversarial proceeding before the patent office. If the alleged infringer can't do that, they'll go all out trying to contact people to invalidate it through things like "they didn't have me sign an NDA".

There is a famous case in U.S. patent law related to that -- the inventor had someone wear a corset out and about to ensure that it was comfortable enough. When an infringer got sued, they found the model who tested it and got the whole thing invalidated because of public use before filing, because other people could have seen the product in use and somehow magically divined the secret sauce.

The case didn't and still doesn't make a lot of sense to me since the patentable invention was hidden under other clothing, but that's how the court ruled.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egbert_v._Lippmann

> Circuit Judge Blatchford tried the case and held the patent invalid because of public use. He ruled:
>
> It was not a use for experiment, or a use in private or a private use. It was a practical use in public of the completed article [despite its concealment and invisibility within the corset]. No secrecy was maintained or enjoined as to the article or its structure.[6]

You do understand that IQ is only partly inherent, right? A substantial part of "IQ" is being trained in schools to use it.

There was a famous (at the time) study in Thailand about six to eight years ago, which found that Thai children's IQs dropped after going to Thai government grade schools. The schools teach conformity and obedience to the government and worship of the King as some sort of living divine god. They're not taught critical reasoning, and they're barely taught math or anything else useful. It's really not surprising that kids emerge from Thai schools stupider than when they went in.

You're seeing the same things happening in the U.S. now, with schools deciding that "grades are racist" and that it's more important for kids to be dragged out to protest Evil Orange Drumpf and his policies than to learn how to read or how to argue using facts and logic. Not that there's much schooling happening right now anyway, because teachers find it a lot more fun to sit at home and chat over Zoom than to sit in a classroom and actually manage all the little monsters. The classes for the first half of 2020 (second half of the 2019-2020 school year) were a joke, with kids getting automatic good grades just because of Szechuan Bat Flew.

That's not even getting into their "university" """"educations"""""" which are more oriented toward "how do you feel about RACISM AND LITERAL NAZIS!!!!" than about, I dunno, calculus and organic chemistry and even great Western literature. Hey, let's all read about the life experiences of transwomyn who cut off their dick and balls, and skip Hemingway and Shakespeare and all that dead white guy shit writing!

Hey no prob. Litigation discovery is mindboggling. You really have no idea just how far companies go when, in some cases, hundreds of millions of dollars are on the line. Patent litigation is "bet the company" stakes most of the time.

One of my profs made partner because he found an invoice showing that the punchhole size in some laboratory notebooks had changed, and because of that, was able to prove that the opposing party had faked a notebook that they had used to "prove" their date of invention, because the notebook they'd filed with the court had the newer smaller holes in it, which weren't being manufactured until after the date the notebook had been "signed".

Just think about the level of memory and attention to detail that it required for him to have noticed that after going through literally thousands of documents per day looking for anything to save the law firm's client from being financially ruined.

Me I just write 'em, I don't litigate 'em.
