地理标志产品法律保护的问题及对策——以河南省为例

On Problems and Countermeasures of the Legal Protection of China's Geographical Indication Products——Based on the survey in Henan province

依法保护和利用地理标志产品,在传承我国区域文明、促进地域经济社会发展,特别是解决"三农问题"方面意义深远。通过以河南省为样本的调研,可以发现当前我国对地理标志产品的法律保护存在着维权意识淡薄、后续监管不足,以及重复保护、标准不一、权利冲突等问题。有必要通过深拓地理标志潜在资源,落实主管部门的监管职责,强化地理标志的商标保护,加快地理标志的地方立法,以及增强地理标志产品的司法保护等途径,实现我国地理标志产品法律保护的完善。

To protect and use geographical indication products by law has a profound signifi- cance. By it, China can inherit the regional civilizations, promote economic and social devel- opment and especially, solve the local ＂Three Rural Issues＂ . The survey in Henan prov- ince reveals the outstanding problems in our legal protection of geographical indication prod- ucts, such as lack of the consciousness of legal protection, deficiency of follow-up supervi- sion and safeguarding, overlaps of protection departments, disunity of protection standards and conflict of rights. It is necessary for China to deeply excavate the potential resources of geographical indication products, implement the supervision duty of the local department in charge, strengthen the protection of Trademark Law, speed up the local legislation on geo- graphical indications and enhance the judicial protection of them, so as to perfect the legal protection of geographical indication products.
