Abstract

As the Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPs Agreement) has a number of member countries (states) and it also provides protection for geographical indications by compromising between the countries (states) determining to protect them under the exclusive legal system and those that protect them under the trademark system, therefore; the appropriate registration of geographical indications at an international level under TRIPs Agreement can help reduce international conflicts from the use of geographical indications in bad faith of other countries. The good result of the international registration under the TRIPs Agreement will lead to the use of geographical indications by the international community as a tool for promoting sustainable development that determine to development and at the same time keeping balance among economic, social, and environmental aspects. Keywords: Geographical Indication, Sustainable, TRIPs Agreement
