Where Origin Creates Value

at Al Nawras Intellectual Property

A geographical indication identifies a product whose quality, reputation or other characteristic is essentially attributable to its geographical origin. This connection can form an important part of the product’s identity and market value. We provide legal and advisory services to help rights holders and relevant organisations understand protection requirements and navigate the available registration and management procedures. We also assist in addressing uses that do not meet the conditions for using a protected geographical indication or otherwise infringe its protection.

Strategic Benefits

  • Preserve the Link to Origin

    Protection helps preserve the link between a product and the geographical area to which its qualities or reputation are attributable.

  • Safeguard Reputation

    Protecting a geographical indication helps address misuse that may harm the reputation associated with the product and its origin.

  • Reduce Consumer Deception

    Protection helps address misleading uses of geographical indications that may give consumers a false impression of a product’s origin or characteristics.

  • Support Commercial Value

    A protected geographical indication can help distinguish eligible products in the market and support the commercial value associated with their origin.
