Ref: 2223-2979

 

Dear Shaun,

On behalf of the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment I
acknowledge your email of 21 June 2023 requesting under the Official
Information Act 1982 (the Act), the following:

“The Intellectual Property Office of New Zealand recently made a ruling
where it determined that it would not protect OUR producers of mânuka
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 Mâoritanga
and our own hardworking producers of REAL mânuka honey. This should
include all communications with the hostile foreigners in Australia and
elsewhere stealing the good name of our mânuka honey producers.”

Your request is being processed in accordance with the Act and a response
will be sent to you in due course. If you have any enquiries regarding
your request feel free to contact us via email [1][MBIE request email] or
using the contact details below.

 

Nâku noa, nâ

Kia ora Shaun,

Thank you for your request for official information. Before we proceed with this request I need to clarify the scope.

We are currently working on a similar request to yours and in this request we will include all submissions (of both parties) as well as all the evidence provided and used in writing of the decision. Is this the type of information you are after?

Subject: Official Information request - In re: mânuka honey

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 mânuka 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 Mâoritanga and our own hardworking producers of REAL mânuka honey. This should include all communications with the hostile foreigners in Australia and elsewhere stealing the good name of our mânuka honey producers.

Cheers,
Shaun Brown
