Sumario:Geographical indications emerge, in the European context, from the need to distinguish products on the market to avoid falsifications, and as a means to value territorial attributes. In Brazil, the most recent legislation on this industrial property system dates back to the late 1990s and aims to identify and value the origin and quality of products and services inherent in the territory in which they are produced. With regard to food products, producers can make a profit on this form of certification as it adds market value for their products. Similarly, consumers can benefit since they have the possibility of purchasing differentiated products, often of better quality. In this sense, this research aims to discuss how the process of registering geographical indications can contribute to value territorial attributes of food products. To do so, bibliographic and documentary research were used as methodological procedures. The paper provides an overview of the Brazilian geographical indications, the context and history of their emergence. It also identifies the characteristics and advantages of geographical indications as well as the products that have already been registered as an indication of origin and as a designation of origin.
