Geographical indications (GIs) establish intellectual property rights for specific products, whose qualities are specifically linked to the area of production. The new search database, GIview, provides a single entry point for data on GIs registered in the EU, and is a useful asset for consumers, producers and intellectual property professionals. It also contains detailed information on non-EU GIs protected at EU level through bilateral and multilateral agreements, and on EU GIs protected in non-EU countries.
The database is continually updated with official registered data from the European Commission (Directorate-General for Agriculture and Rural Development) and is developed and maintained by the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO). Geographical indications are a key economic asset for the European Union, and form part of the EU-wide system of intellectual property rights.
