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.

The case of Georgia By: Patrick Martens University of Maastricht Abstract This paper is focused on traditional products that include agricultural goods such as wines, spirits and cheeses as well as tangible and intangible cultural heritage and sometimes linked to the manufacture of the product. The aims are: firstly to assess the current context of International Economic Law (IEL) and how Georgia is using IEL legal frameworks to protect its traditional products and heritage; secondly, how effectively its own national treatment and policy environment are functioning; and finally, to make preliminary observations and arguments on the impact and potential of Intellectual Property (IP) systems, Geographical Indications (GIs), Traditional Knowledge (TK), Traditional Cultural Expressions (TCE) and Genetic Resources (GR), on the economic development of regions and communities.
