Abstract

The complexity of the protection of Geographical Indications (GIs) requires the involvement of many parties, not only those who propose rights protection, but also the participation and active role of the Central and/or Regional Governments as mandated in the Trademark Law and Geographical Indications Number 20 of 2016. Based on the results of the first year research, a protection model of GIs is offered as a strategy s effort. The model needs to be known for its implementation in the aim of preparing the registration procedure for GIs in both research areas. Using an empirical juridical method, obtained an overview of the constraints of IG protection, including the mindset of the community, priorities and strategic plans of local government, and legal policies. The protection of GIs is influenced by the readiness to change people's perspectives and the readiness of local governments.
