Geographical indication is the way of identifying a product or service as originating in a certain region due to its reputation, characteristic and/or quality. It is a guarantee as to the origin of a product, its qualities and regional characteristics. 

The geographical indication types are: indication of origin or designation of origin. 

An indication of origin is the geographic name of a country, city, region or locality in its territory, which has become known as a center of extraction, production or manufacture of a given product or provision of a given service.

Designation of origin is the geographical name of a country, city, region or locality in its territory, which designates a product or service whose qualities or characteristics are due exclusively or essentially to the geographical environment, including natural and human factors.
