Registration of the Country of Origin

Country of Origin Registration (COO) is a distinct form of intellectual property enabling manufacturers to legally establish rights to a specific name for their products as per legal regulations. These rights are granted to producers from a particular region known for specific product qualities attributable to natural and / or human resources. Unlike a trademark, COO registration may involve multiple entities. The key requirement is that all COO users are situated within the same geographic region, and the unique product characteristics are determined by the region's features and remain consistent across all rights holders
