The Department of Intellectual Property is pushing GI (geographical indication) registrations for local products, including Ratchaburi lime and mango, Betong oranges and mangosteen, Ko Kret red tea and Nong Bua Lamphu cloth. For SMEs, the useful point is the legal limit: GI protects the registered name and the GI logo only. Using "Lampang Chicken Bowl" for goods not made in Lampang to the registered standard can be fined up to 200,000 baht. Misusing the Thai GI logo can bring up to 4 years' jail and a 400,000 baht fine. Similar-looking designs without the name or logo are generally not covered. Get GI certification if you make a registered product, and check your names and logos before you sell.
