Geographical Indications
An Introduction
This short WIPO guide explains the basic concepts of geographical indications, their differences from trademarks and appellations of origin, and their role in product differentiation. It covers producer cooperation, quality control, rural development, traditional knowledge, and protection at home and abroad. The Armenian edition follows the 2021 revised reprint of the work first published in 2012.

WIPO produced the original English publication. This is an independent Armenian translation; WIPO does not endorse this edition or the Center.

A geographical indication differs from a general national-origin label: it does not automatically guarantee higher prices or exports, or constitute WIPO certification of a product.
