Champagne, Cognac, Bulgarian yogurt. All these are examples of well-known products, which gained their world fame by the name of the region they are being produced in (i.e. by their geographical indication). A geographical indication is a sign used on goods that have a specific geographical origin and often possess qualities or a reputation that are due to that place of origin. Bulgaria is famous of several specific products, connected to the geographical indications: these are the rose oil, wine, yogurt, mineral waters, herbs, etc.
Obtaining registration of a geographical indication which includes appellation of origin or indication of source enables you to show up on the Bulgarian and mainly, on the international markets, using the popularity of the given region, where your production is located and to impose sanctions on the other producers, who indicate the same region on their goods, without having rights on that.
