    China to Build up More GI Protection Demonstration Areas

    29! That is the number of national GI (geographical indication) protection demonstration areas (GI areas) to be set up in the next three years, according to a 2022 list announced in October by the China National Intellectual Property Administration (CNIPA). In 2010, China commenced the construction of the national GI (appellations of origin) areas nationwide. In 2018, pursuant to a relevant reform plan of the State Council, the restructured CNIPA inherited all the GI-related missions including the aforementioned construction. Construction of the GI areas is an effective tool for China to further refine its GI protection system and control the quality of GIs. In February 2021, CNIPA enacted the Measures on Administration of the Construction of the Geographical Indication Protection Demonstration Areas (Trial), offering clear guidance to the construction. In October 2021, in the 14th Five-Year National Plan for IP Protection and Application, the State Council mandated the completion of 100 GI areas during the 14th five-year period.
