Report Geographical Indication (GI) Mark Infringement

This section should provide a mechanism for reporting potential infringement, such as a contact form, email address, or phone number.

Reporting potential GI mark infringement is important to protect the authenticity and reputation of regional products and prevent the spread of counterfeit goods. If you suspect that a product is infringing on a GI mark, you can report it to the relevant authorities or organizations using the following mechanisms:

Contact the national or regional authority responsible for the protection of GI marks: In most countries, there are government agencies or organizations responsible for protecting GI marks. You can contact them by phone or email to report potential infringement. They will investigate your report and take appropriate legal action if necessary.

Contact the organization responsible for managing the GI mark: The organization responsible for managing the GI mark may have a reporting mechanism for potential infringement. You can find their contact information on their website or by contacting them directly.

Report the infringement to customs officials: If you suspect that counterfeit products are being imported into your country, you can report it to the customs officials. They have the authority to seize counterfeit products at the border after inspection of the lot accordingly.

Report the infringement to the brand owner: If you are aware of the brand owner of the genuine product, you can report the infringement to them. They may have their own reporting mechanism for potential infringement.

It is important to provide as much information as possible when reporting potential infringement, including the product name, brand, and location of sale. You may also be asked to provide photos or other evidence to support your report.
