Geographical Indication Rights

Geographical Indication Rights protect products that have a specific geographical origin and possess qualities, reputation, or characteristics inherent to that location. Commonly associated with agricultural products, foodstuffs, wines, and spirits, Geographical Indication Rights serve as a valuable tool for distinguishing your products in the marketplace, ensuring that only products genuinely originating from the specified region can be marketed under the GI.
