The difference between origin mark and geographical trademark: 1. Geographical indication is a product mark used to indicate that the product originates from a certain country, a certain region or a certain place, to distinguish similar products produced in other regions. Indicating the quality of goods is direct; although trademarks also have the function of indicating the quality of goods, their use is indirect. 2. There is a permanent difference between the two. Geographical indications are not bound by time and are permanent. After the trademark registration expires, if you do not actively apply for renewal, the registered trademark will be cancelled. Geographical indications cannot be registered as trademarks. 3. The rules and standards applicable to the two are different. Trademarks are governed by the Trademark Law, while geographical indications are governed by rules of origin and the Agreement on the Protection of Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights. 4. When goods enter the field of international trade, the origin mark plays an irreplaceable and important role in the customs clearance and entry of goods, market access, the reputation effect of international famous brands, breaking the restrictions and barriers of developed countries, and regulating international trade and business negotiations. . 5. The right to use geographical indications does not belong to any producer of goods, but to all producers engaged in the production of relevant goods in the relevant area. It is public property and cannot be transferred. Trademarks can be transferred.

Legal basis:
