Résumé

These Regulations prohibit the use of registered geographical indications by persons who are not entitles to do so. "Geographical indication" (GI) means an indication (name) that identifies an agricultural product – (a) as originating in the territory of the Republic of South Africa or in another country, or in a region or locality in that territory; and (b) whose given quality, reputation or other characteristic is essentially attributable to its geographical origin (refer to TRIPS Agreement, Article 22(1)). The Regulations also provide rules for the application for registration as a South African geographical indication and registration as a foreign geographical indication. They set out the procedure for the assessment of applications (including priority and objections) and provide some rules for labelling of foodstuffs using registered geographical indications as ingredients. All members of a group using a registered South African GI shall be subject to audits by the qualified South African auditor.
