Question 12272 — intellectual property

Summary

Mr. Guy Bricout draws the attention of the Minister of Culture to the situation of Caudry lace companies which are seeing their market decline due to the exponential development of an industry in emerging countries, with low labor costs and unscrupulous regional know-how and employment and the resurgence of copies of their designs having forced them to double the cost of counterfeiting procedures. He calls its attention to the opportunity for the controlled designation of origin “Dentelle Calais Caudry”, pride and heritage of the Hauts-de-France region, to see its “lace process” included in the register of French cultural heritage in order to be better protected. He asks him what the Government's position is on the subject.
