Geographical Indication Application and Monitoring Processes

The geographical indication application and monitoring processes are crucial for protecting products that have unique qualities and characteristics tied to a specific region. At Leo Patent, we guide you through the geographical indication registration process and ensure your products are legally protected. Here are the services we offer in geographical indication application and monitoring processes:

1. Geographical Indication Research and Preliminary Examination

Before starting the application process, we conduct comprehensive research to determine the registrability of your product as a geographical indication and potential conflicts with existing geographical indications. During this process:

  • We analyze similar products and existing geographical indications in the same category.
  • We evaluate potential risks and likelihood of objections.
  • We provide you with a detailed report on the registrability of your product as a geographical indication.

  • We monitor the publication of your geographical indication in the bulletin.
  • We take proactive measures for potential objections to the publication.
  • In case of objections, we develop an effective defense strategy and present the necessary documents and arguments to reject the objections.
