Geographical Indications And Appellations Of Origin

Geographical indications and appellations of origin are a form of legal protection for designations associated with products originating from specific geographic regions, imbuing them with unique characteristics and qualities attributed to their place of origin. These designations serve as a means to shield product names from unauthorized usage by producers whose products do not adhere to the specific standards set for that particular region. Geographical indications offer consumers a guarantee of quality and protection against counterfeit products while also fostering the growth of local economies.
