The Choice of Geographical Indications Protection Path from the Perspective of the Comparison of Costs and Benefits between Public Interest Litigation and Individual Rights Protection
In March 2022,the Supreme People's Procuratorate issued Opinions on Comprehensively Strengthening Intellectual Property Procuratorial Work in the New Era,which provided a basis for procuratorial organs to carry out public interest litigation in the field of geographical indication protection.There are deficiencies in individual rights pro-tection of geographical indications,while the protection of geographical indications through procuratorial public interest litigation has lower cost and greater benefits,which is more advantageous and legitimate than individual rights protec-tion.The procuratorial organs should make comprehensive use of various means to further improve the procuratorial pub-lic interest litigation system for the protection of geographical indications,reduce the operating costs of the system,in-crease the operating benefits of the system,and obtain more social benefits.
