Geographical Indications
A geographical indication (GI is a sign used on products that have a specific geographical origin and possess qualities or a reputation that are due to that origin. In order to function as a GI, a sign must identify a product as originating in a given place. In addition, the qualities, characteristics or reputation of the product should be essentially due to the place of origin.
GI indicates the location that determines the characteristics of the products originating from there, so the purpose of a geographical indication is to inform consumers about the place of origin and the features of the product.
A certificate on the right to use the geographical indication or designation of origin is granted by the Armenian IP Office.
