Geographical indications are a type of intellectual property. ?

The behavior of the Henan manufacturer is an infringement.

Let’s discuss it in detail below.

1. How to define geographical indications in intellectual property rights

According to the information I found on the Internet, the theft of geographical names is also a type of infringement. ?

According to the lawyer’s explanation, I learned that geographical indications can be counted as intellectual property rights. ?

According to legal provisions, intellectual property rights are the exclusive rights enjoyed by rights holders in accordance with the law with respect to the following objects, such as products, trademarks, etc., including geographical indications. ?

Manufacturers in Henan Province use the place name of Longkou, Shandong Province to sell local fans in Henan Province. This has already involved the issue of infringement.

2. Reasons for misappropriation of geographical indications

I believe that geographical indications are actually brands and trademarks.

For example, Shandong Longkou vermicelli is actually a geographical indication product. Its quality has been recognized by consumers and it has a certain market and customer base.

Manufacturers in Henan are misappropriating the geographical indication of Longkou, Shandong, and selling dog meat as sheep's head. They are essentially deceiving consumers. Therefore, this factory in Henan should be investigated and punished.

For example, our Shandong "Longkou Vermicelli" and "Yantai Wine" are geographical indication products.

3. Other infringement cases

In fact, this illegal act of misappropriating geographical indications not only occurs in Shandong, but similar incidents have also occurred in other cities. ?

For example, Sunit mutton from Xilingol League in Inner Mongolia is a product that has obtained a "geographical indication". The quality of the mutton is recognized by the public, and the price is higher than other mutton. ?

Since ancient times, money has attracted people’s hearts.

As a result, many criminals turned their thoughts into actions, using the name of Inner Mongolia mutton to open meat processing plants.

In recent years, the state has gradually increased its efforts to crack down on such illegal crimes. It has carried out many joint operations across the country to increase efforts to protect geographical indications. I believe that such infringements will become more and more common in the future. The less.
