Worldwide Perspectives on Geographical Indications

Crossed views between researchers, policy makers and practitioners

Geographical Indications (GI) are distinctive signs that associate products of quality and reputation with their place or area of production and thereby help identify and distinguish such products on the market.

In July 2022, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the Centre de coopération internationale en recherche agronomique pour le dével oppement (CIRAD) in collaboration with the Swiss Intellectual Property Institute (IPI) and oriGIn (Organization for an International GI Network), brought together more than 200 representatives of researchers, public authorities, producers and their collective organizations, public authorities and international organizations from 47 countries to discuss recent research and practices on global perspectives on Geographical Indications. This book is a collection of selected contributions from those discussions authored by academics, practitioners and policy-makers and presenting key research and developments in the practices of geographical indications from across the globe. The book presents a rich analysis of GI’s from the nature and legal definition to public and private management, market forces, sustainable development, intellectual property rights as well as consumer rights and welfare. This is an open access book.
