Geographical Indication Inventory Has Been Transferred To The Digital Media

The Turkish Patent and Trademark Office ("TPTO") has transferred the geographical indication ("GI") inventory to the digital media. The inventory is now reachable from www.ci.gov.tr.

Newly established website contains;

• The database regarding the geographical indication/traditional cultural specialties registry,
• Statistics regarding GI registration and application numbers, registration holders, types of GI's and distribution by product groups.

The website is expected to bring together public institutions, non-governmental organizations, producers and consumers on the same platform. Also, the substantial database constituted in this regard will be a rich resource for the researchers working in the field.
