The designation ‘Bud’ cannot be protected as a designation of origin outside the Community system of protection. If, however, the designation ‘Bud’ were to be recognised, in the Czech Republic, as a simple geographical indication of provenance, its protection in Austria would require that it be capable of informing the Czech consumer that the product which bears it originates from a region or location in the territory of the Czech Republic.
