A geographical indication (GI) is a sign used on products that have a specific geographical origin and possess qualities or a reputation that are due to that origin. In order to function as a GI, a sign must identify a product as originating in a given place.
We assist producer groups, associations, and stakeholders in preserving and enforcing rights linked to geographical origin.
- GI registration and prosecution
- Advisory on protection, enforcement, and misuse prevention
- Support in safeguarding the cultural, traditional, and economic value of GI-tagged products
- Guidance on compliance and authorized usage
