Abstract

A trademark may constitute a geographical indication and this will result in a conflict between the protection of trademarks and geographical indications. In this article, I will discuss the cancellation of a trademark that constitutes a geographical indication. Trademarks in Jordan can be cancelled through Trademark Law or the Geographical Indications Law. However, there are several differences between the cases of cancellation under the Trademark Law and the Geographical Indications Law. These will be discussed in this article, especially as both Laws have special requirements regarding the persons who are entitled to file the application of cancellation, its grounds, submission period and the application process.
