A "geographical indication" (GI) is the name of a product where a given quality, reputation or other characteristic of the good is essentially attributable to its geographical origin. It is a type of intellectual property right that can apply in the EU to different types of products. EU legislation provides for protection of GIs in respect of wines, spirits, agricultural products and foodstuffs and aromatized wine products. |
