Protect products originating from a specific geographical region with a Geographical Indication tag.
A Geographical Indication (GI) is a sign used on products that have a specific geographical origin and possess qualities, reputation, or characteristics essentially attributable to that place of origin. GI tags protect producers of genuine goods and prevent misuse of the geographical name by others.
We assess whether your product qualifies for GI protection and identify the eligible applicant group.
