In re: mānuka honey
Shaun Brown made this Official Information request to Ministry of Business, Innovation & Employment
This request has an unknown status. We're waiting for Shaun Brown to read recent responses and update the status.
From: Shaun Brown
Dear Ministry of Business, Innovation & Employment,
The Intellectual Property Office of New Zealand recently made a ruling where it determined that it would not protect OUR producers of mānuka honey, an internationally recognized designation of origin, from illegal competition from inferior foreign producers.
I am requesting all documents and communications held by IPONZ in regards this despicable decision to privilege foreign corporations over Māoritanga and our own hardworking producers of REAL mānuka honey. This should include all communications with the hostile foreigners in Australia and elsewhere stealing the good name of our mānuka honey producers.
Cheers,
Shaun Brown
