"Place name+product name" is the core content of geographical indications. It is unique and cannot be copied. Only one product can be applied for in each region. Such as "Zhangqiu Green Onion" and "Jiaozhou Chinese Cabbage". And in accordance with the principle of first declaration and first registration, the registration of declared products will no longer be accepted.

The price of agricultural products with geographical indications increased by 87.69% on average, nearly double the price without registration protection.

Geographical indications prove that trademarks are tangible signs and can be directly printed on product packaging and raw material instructions. When a registered trademark product and a geographical indication certification trademark are used together, it can be distinguished between local and national counterparts to increase competitiveness and also reflect the tall image of the product. For products without registered trademarks, registering geographical indications to prove trademarks is an excellent brand choice.
