Plain-language summary
Written by a model from the explanatory memorandum; not the record, as at 2019-12-02.
The bill would create a public online directory of labels on Australian wine and grape products for export.
Wine Australia would run the directory, letting brand owners search for labels that might copy their trademarks and take civil action.
The directory would include digital colour images of labels and details about the products and exporters, and regulations would set up how it works.
- Establishes a label directory for exported grape products.
- Allows brand owners to search for potentially infringing labels and take legal action.
- Enables Wine Australia to use the directory in its export control role.
- Clarifies that the directory is not a legislative instrument.
Wine Australia, brand owners, and exporters of grape products from Australia.
