Register Your Geographical Indications and Appellations of Origin

A geographical indication is the name of a geographical area or some other sign that indicates that a product or service originates from a certain geographical area, and that it possesses certain quality and properties attributed to that origin.

The protection of the geographical indications and designations of origin as intellectual property is achieved by carrying out the registration procedure of the designation. Once a geographical indication or a designation of origin registered, it may be used collectively by any of producers from the indicated locality who meet the requirements. Normally a registration of user(s) of the indication is also required.

On products, the designation of geographical origin or the designation of origin is often used in addition to the mark or logo of the manufacturer (which may be protected by a trademark), in order to simultaneously emphasize the individual character and common characteristic of belonging to the product.

Geographical indications and designations of origin shall be protected under intellectual property for avoiding infringement and unauthorised use, given their contribution to higher commercial value of products and services in compliance with their specific characteristics and thus acquired reputation.

An effective protection system for these signs is likewise useful to consumers and general public by promoting fair market competition and good business practice. The protection for these signs is favourable to economic development, particularly of rural regions by retaining active workforce and stimulating family farms in these regions, and by preserving and developing specific and traditional production and services.

Designation of origin is a more specific form of protection, and necessarily implies the essential or exclusive influence of special natural and human factors of a certain geographical environment and the resulting special quality and properties of products or services.

In the case of marks of origin, as a rule, it is required that the production, preparation and processing of products and services take place entirely in the indicated area.

REMARK:

In agreements on use (license) protected by copyright/related works and industrial property rights, an arbitration clause is entered in accordance with the UNITED NATIONS – WORLD INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY ORGANIZATION Arbitration Rules – WIPO Arbitration Rules, at the WIPO Arbitration and Mediation Center in Geneva, Switzerland, for ON-LINE efficient and economical quick resolution of disputes in a few months. The above includes all possible disputes from contracts on intellectual property rights, including contractual damages, as well as potential disputes against the Agency. See Terms of Use.

For possible non-contractual disputes, including non-contractual damages committed by third parties, the Worldwide Agency For Intellectual Property tries to find appropriate legal assistance in the individual countries where the damage was done, (considering that jurisdiction is usually determined individually for each place where the violation occurred / damage caused).

By empowering, strengthening and protecting intellectual property, human civilization also strengthens and advances!
