What is Geographical indication?
A '''geographical indication''' associates a [[Product (business)|product]] with a certain geographical area. The buyer of the product will then know that the product is from the area indicated. These indications are most common for [[agricultural]] products, mostly [[food]]. They can also be found for industrial products. In theory, they could also apply to services. In the [[European Union]], and probably elsewhere, a '''protected designation of origin''' also means that the product has been produced according to certain rules, and that certain [[standard]]s are met. {{Stub}} [[Category:Marketing]]
