About the Geneva Act

The Geneva Act helps producers of quality products, linked to origin, to protect the distinctive designations of their products in multiple jurisdictions, either as appellations of origin or geographical indications, through a single application filed with WIPO, and the payment of one set of fees.

About the Lisbon System

The Lisbon System provides protection for names that identify the geographic origin of products such as coffee, tea, fruits, cheese, wine, pottery, glass and cloth.

Examples of appellations of origin and geographical indications

  • Kampot Pepper (Cambodia)
  • Comté (France)
  • Tokaj (Hungary)
  • Sarough Handmade Carpet (Iran)
  • Tequila (Mexico)
  • Porto (Portugal)
