European Court of Justice: the taste of a food can not be protected by copyright
The taste of a food can not be protected by copyright, as it is not yet possible to identify it precisely and objectively, so it can not be distinguished from the taste of other similar products, the ECJ said in its Tuesday ruling on a Dutch cream cheese.
The European Court of Justice (ECJ) said science was not yet sufficiently developed to find a precise and objective identification of taste in a decision after Levola, the Dutch makers of cream cheese and herb spreadable dip Heksenkaas, brought a case of copyright infringement against a rival.
