  • Appellations of Origin of Georgian Wine
    NATIONAL INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY CENTER OF GEORGIA SAKPATENTI Appellations of Origin of Georgian Wine OFFICIAL BULLETIN OF THE INDUSTRIAL PROPERTY SPECIAL EDITION NATIONAL INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY CENTER OF GEORGIA SAKPATENTI Appellations of Origin of Georgian Wine TBILISI 2010 GEORGIA RUSSIAN FEDERATION ABKHAZETI SVANETI RACHA-LECHKHUMI SAMEGRELO BLAC K S E A IMERETI KARTLI GURIA KAKHETI Tbilisi SAMTSKHE- A DJ A R A -JAVAKHETI TURKEY AZERBAIJAN A R ME N I A PREFACE In Georgia, a country with rich culture of wine-growing and wine-making, the tradition of using the geographical name of the place of origin as the appellation of a wine has a long history. Although the territory of Georgia is not large, the number of these appellations is nevertheless significant. Each of them is distinguished by special characteristics, high quality and reputation, which is influenced by the unique environmental conditions of Georgia. After the entry into force of the legal framework governing the protection of appellations of origin of wines, 18 appellations of origin of Georgian wines have been registered at National Intellectual Property Center of Georgia “Sakpatenti”. The Law of Georgia “On Appellations of Origin and Geographical Indications of Goods” defines the concept of appellation of origin and geographical indication and stipulates: 1. An appellation of origin is a modern or historical name of a geographical place, region or, in exceptional cases, a name of a country (hereinafter “geographical area”), used to designate the goods: (a) originating within the given geographical area; (b) the specific quality and features of which are essentially or exclusively due to a particular geographical environment and human factors; (c) production, processing and preparation of which take place within the geographical area.
