As a new type of intellectual property, the right to geographical indications has the general characteristics of intellectual property, but at the same time it embodies its own uniqueness, which is mainly reflected in the rich right system infiltrated by public rights and private rights. It is the product of double correction of international market failure and intergovernmental government failure, and the result of market regulation and international macro-control.

The so-called right of geographical indications refers to the related rights protected by geographical indications recognized or stipulated by domestic laws or international treaties. Protecting geographical indications at the legal level is not only the technical identification and judgment of geographical indications, but also the ultimate goal of legal protection of geographical indications, so as to clarify the characteristics and contents of the rights attached to geographical indications and finally guide the direction of legislation.

If I remember correctly, intellectual property rights include copyright and related rights, trademarks, geographical indications, integrated circuit layout, patents, undisclosed information and industrial design.
