A geographical indication, also known as a designation of origin, is the geographical name of a country, region or place.

Origin mark, also known as source mark or origin name, consists of a name, logo or symbol to indicate that a product comes from a specific country, region or place.

Although both origin markings and geographical indications have the function of indicating the source of the marked goods, origin markings only indicate the place where the goods are manufactured.

The difference between geographical indications and trademarks is:

1. A trademark identifies the same kind of goods or services of one operator that is different from any other operator; while a geographical indication identifies It is the same commodity produced in a specific region that is different from any other region.

2. Generally speaking, trademarks can only be used exclusively by specific operators, while geographical indications can be used by all operators that produce the same kind of goods with the same characteristics within a specific geographical area** *Use the same.
