Patates et Cognac

On the Trademark Blog this trade dispute:

FT.Com article on a trade dispute between the U.S. and the EEC over reciprocal treatment of appellations of origin. The U.S. charges that the EEC does not grant protection to terms such as IDAHO POTATOES equivalent to that granted by the U.S. to terms such as FRENCH COGNAC.

Too bad, because potatoes and cognac go well together :).
