GIs are signs used on products that have a specific geographical origin and possess qualities or a reputation that are reliant on that origin. The qualities, characteristics or reputation of the product should be directly related to the place of origin. A geographical indication enables those who have the right to use the indication to prevent its use by a third party whose product does not conform to these specific standards. GIs are protected in different countries and regional systems through a wide variety of approaches and often use a combination of ways, including a special regime of protection and/or in combination with trade mark protection.
