ABSTRACT

Geographical Indications (GI) protection provisions are related to a country's customs and traditions, and have always been of great significance to the defense and protection of a region's traditional customs. There are many differences between the major treaties on such rules. RCEP advocates that the protection of GI should precede the trademarks of GI, and affirms more lenient domestic administrative procedures, specific language  norms,  and  softer  harmonization  of  the  relevant  international  agreements. TRIPS extends the protection of GI, and stipulates a system of bona fide acquisition and a relevant time limit for GI. CPTPP expands the protection of GI. It expands the scope of protection for collective marks and certification marks, clarifies the key points of dispute settlement, increases the grounds for objection, raises the requirements for administrative procedures  of  contracting  parties,  and  strengthens  the  special  protection  for  alcohol products. In this regard, China can contribute to the 'China Program' by establishing a unified administrative protection system for GI, benchmarking high standard treaties as CPTPP,  and  contributing  to  the construction  of an open economy and the global governance system for trade in GI products.
