Copyright in the Food Industry: Protecting Recipes and Brands 


In the food industry, creativity and innovation are not limited to food preparation but also extend to presentation, ingredient combinations, and the creation of new dishes. Recipes, culinary techniques, and restaurant brands represent significant intellectual value that needs adequate protection to prevent copying and imitation.

Culinary recipes, while not always directly protected by copyright, can benefit from protection through the registration of detailed descriptions, unique presentations, or photographs of dishes. Additionally, restaurant brands and logos are key elements of a company’s identity and can be protected by copyright and registered trademarks.

Protecting these elements is essential to ensure that restaurants and chefs can maintain control over their creations and stand out in a competitive market. LutinX offers a platform for protecting intellectual works in the food industry. Restaurateurs and chefs can register descriptions of recipes, unique culinary techniques, and photographs of dishes on the platform, obtaining certificates of authorship that attest to the ownership of the works.

Using blockchain, these certificates provide immutable proof of the creation date and ownership, which can be used in court to defend creators’ rights. In addition to legal protection, LutinX can help restaurateurs monitor the use of their creations online. This is particularly useful for detecting imitations or unauthorized uses of brands and recipes. The platform can also facilitate the licensing of brands and recipes, ensuring that terms of use are clearly defined and respected.
