Geographical indications (GI) identify products as originating from a specific geographical area and possessing a given quality, reputation or other characteristic attributable to that area. GIs can be registered at national, regional or international level (WIPO’s Lisbon System – https://lnkd.in/d87Z8R7z). In some jurisdictions, they can be protected through trademark rights (certification or collective marks), using for example WIPO’s Madrid System (https://lnkd.in/e6EAT5Qy). Did you know? The world’s first GIs were in the wine sector – Burgundy (France) wines in the 15th century; Port (Portugal) and Chianti (Italy) wines in the 18th; and Champagne (France) wines in the early 20th century. 🥂 Some quick facts about GIs (based on 2022 data): 🌐 There were more than 58,000 GIs in force worldwide. 🏆 World leader was China, with 9,571 GIs in force. 🍷 Wines and spirits accounted for more than 50% of the GIs in force globally. 👏 Hungary (7,843) had the most GIs in force among European Union member states.
