3 一、中国地理标志保护法律制度概述 1. The legislative Situation of GIs Protection in China

4 （一）中国地理标志国内立法 1.1. The national Legislation on GI Protection in China

5 三种并行地理标志保护制度 Legislation including provisions specially designed for GI protection
1、商标法 1. Trademark Law 2、地理标志产品保护规定 2. The Provisions on the Protection of Geographical Indication Products 3、农产品地理标志管理办法 3. The Measures for Administration of Geographical Indications of Agricultural Products

6 1、商标法 Trademark Law 《商标法》第16条第2款：地理标志“是指标示某商品来源于某地区，该商品的特定质量、信誉或者其他特征，主要由该地区的自然因素或者人文因素所决定的标志。” Article 16.2: The geographical indications …. refer to the signs that signify the place of origin of the goods in respect of which the signs are used, their specific quality, reputation or other features as mainly decided by the natural or cultural factors of the regions.

7 《商标法实施条例》第6条：商标法第十六条规定的地理标志，可以依照商标法和本条例的规定，作为证明商标或者集体商标申请注册。
作为集体商标、证明商标注册的地理标志受到商标专用权的保护。 Article 6 of Regulations for the Implementation of Trademark Law: For geographical indications referred to in Article 16 of the Trademark Law, applications may be filed to register them as certification marks or collective marks under the provisions of the Trademark Law and these Regulations. The GIs registered as collective or certification marks are protected under the Trademark Law.

8 为了履行TRIPS协定的义务， 《集体商标、证明商标注册和管理办法 》为酒类地理标志提供了特别保护。
The Measures for the Registration and Administration of Collective Marks and Certification Marks provide GIs of wines and spirits with additional protection in line with the relevant provisions of TRIPS.

11 《地理标志产品保护规定》第2条：地理标志产品是指“产自特定地域，所具有的质量、声誉或其他特性本质上取决于该产地的自然因素和人文因素，经审核批准以地理名称进行命名的产品”。
Article 2: GI products are those “which are named after geographical name after being examined and approved, which originate from a specific region, and whose quality, reputation or other characteristics depend on the natural factors and human factors of the area of production. ”

12 地理标志产品的保护实行审核批准和注册登记的原则：凡是申请地理标志产品保护的，必须依照《地理标志产品保护规定》经质检部门审核批准；任何单位和个人要使用地理标志产品专用标志，必须依照该规定经质检部门注册登记，接受监督管理。 The principle of “examination-approval-registration” applies to the protection of GI products. That means the applications for the protection of GI products are subject to the examination and approval of AQSIQ under the Provisions on the Protection of Geographical Indication Products. The special signs of GI products must be registered and their respective use is subject to supervision and management of AQSIQ in accordance with the Provisions.

产品标志。” “Geographical indications of agricultural products” are special agricultural product indications which are named after geographical names and are meant to tell that the indicated agricultural products are from a specific area and that the quality and major characteristics of the products mainly lie in the natural and ecological environment as well as cultural and historical factors of the area.

35 二、外国地理标志如何在中国获得保护 2. How can foreign GIs get Protection in China

36 （一）按照中国法律提出注册申请 2.1. Apply for the Registration under China’s Legislation

37 尽管《地理标志产品保护规定》和《农产品地理标志管理办法》均规定将为外国地理标志的注册和保护制定具体办法，但此办法迄今未出台。因此目前地理标志只能按照《商标法》的规定申请注册。
Although both the Provisions on the Protection of Geographical Indication Products and the Measures for the Administration of Geographical Indications of Agricultural Products provide positive clauses promising to establish specific measures for the registration and protection of foreign GIs, the said specific measures have not been established so far. Therefore foreign GI can only be applied for the registration under Trademark Law.

38 1、申请人之主体资格 2.1.1. The Qualification of the Applicants
外国人或外国企业在中国申请商标注册的，应当按其所属国和中国签订的协议或者共同参加的国际条约办理，或者按对等原则办理。 any foreign person or foreign enterprise intending to apply for the registration of a trademark in China shall file an application in accordance with any agreement concluded between China and the country to which the applicant belongs, or according to the international treaty to which both countries are parties, or on the basis of the principles of reciprocity.

39 外国人或者外国企业在中国申请商标注册和办理其他商标事宜的，应当委托国家认可的具有商标代理资格的组织代理。此处所指的外国人或者外国企业，是指在中国没有经常居所或者营业所的外国人或者外国企业。因此，拥有经常居住地或营业所的外国人、外国企业可不必委托指定的组织代理。 Foreign person or enterprise intending to apply for the registration of a trademark or for any other matters concerning a trademark in China sha1l appoint an organization officially designated by China government to act as his/its agent. The foreign person or enterprise mentioned here only refers to the foreigner having no habitual residence or place of business in China. In other words, if a foreigner has habitual residence or place of business in China the restriction mentioned above on foreign applicant does not apply to him/her.

40 2、对拟申请注册之地理标志的要求 2.1.2. The Requirements for foreign GIs
外国人或者外国企业申请以地理标志作为集体商标、证明商标注册的，申请人应当提供该地理标志以其名义在其原属国受法律保护的证明。 Foreign person or enterprise applying for the registration of a GI as a collective mark or a certification mark shall furnish documents certifying that the GI, in his/its name, is under the legal protection in the country of origin.

41 3、语言要求 Language 申请商标注册或办理其他商标事宜，应使用中文。依照商标法和本条例规定提交的各种证件、证明文件和证据材料是外文的，应附送中文译文；未附送的，视为未提交。商标为外文或者包含外文的，应说明含义。 The application for trademark registration and other matters related to trademark shall be provided in Chinese language. If any certificate, certifying document or evidence submitted to the authorities is written in a foreign language, a Chinese translation shall be attached thereto, or it shall be deemed that the certificate, certifying document or evidence has never been submitted. If a trademark is, or consists of, foreign words, their meanings shall be clarified in Chinese.

42 （二）通过所属国与中国签订的双边条约获得保护 2. 2
（二）通过所属国与中国签订的双边条约获得保护 Foreign GIs can get protection in China on the base of bilateral agreements concluded between China and it’s country of origin

43 中国与智利、秘鲁、哥斯达黎加签订的自贸协定为外国地理标志在中国获得保护提供了范例。
The FTAs between China and Chile, Peru, Costa Rica can serve as examples for foreign GIs to get protection in China. 或者通过双边互认合作使外国地理标志在中国获得保护，例如中-欧10+10地理标志互认试点。 Foreign GIs can also be protected in China on the base of mutual recognition cooperation. For example, the project of GI recognition between the EU and China can serve as a feasible approach for EU GIs to get protection in China.
