_x000D_In a decision made public on Jan. 6, 2022,  a US District judge ruled against a consortium of Swiss and French cheesemakers from Gruyeres, Switzerland. The judge ruled that shoppers in the United States understand Gruyere to be generic to a type of cheese without restriction on where it was produced.
