EU: New search database for geographical indications

A new search database, GIview, for all geographical indications protected at European Union level has launched.

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.
