Japan's reaction to protect geographical brands in China(11)

Japan's reaction to protect geographical brands in China and its implication to South Korea

Whenever chances are given either at home or abroad, I will be willingly presenting my book and article to the academic field and governmental sector. As a former journalist, I wouldn't sit idle to promote my publications to the media as well. 

As emphasized above, geographical brands haven't been the talk of the town in the Korean academic field. Scholars have failed to spare enough time in delving into the importance of the protection of geographical brands overseas. 

Against this background, my wish is that my subject will play a role of a stepping stone for full-fledged exploration on this issue in the mid-long term. If government officials get practical ideas from my project and put them into actions, it will be my excellent pride. This research involves three countries in Northeast Asia.
