designation of origin
Let an agent explain designations of origin and related geographical indications, relay legal frameworks in the EU and internationally, describe national systems and categories, and distinguish designations of origin from protected geographical indications, trademarks and generic names.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description
Let an agent explain designations of origin and related geographical indications, relay legal frameworks in the EU and internationally, describe national systems and categories, and distinguish designations of origin from protected geographical indications, trademarks and generic names.
A legal designation certifying that a product, especially wine, cheese, oil or other food, originates from a specific region and owes its qualities essentially to that origin, produced under defined rules, as in the French appellation d origine controlee and the EU protected designation of origin, Spanish categories such as Vino de Pago and Vino de Calidad, and the Portuguese Indicacao de Proveniencia Regulamentada; designations of origin are protected as geographical indications in trade law and are enforced by control bodies.
What it is for: Certifying and protecting origin-linked product quality.
It can be explain the concept and categories; relay legal frameworks; describe national systems; distinguish related protections.
Distinguishing features
Essential link to origin
Product specification
Control bodies
International protection
What it looks like
A label or seal on products naming the protected origin.
Physical character
EU registered PDOs and PGIs: over 3500 count - foods and wines
How it is recognised
Origin-linked quality certification
AOC, AOP, PDO, DO, DOP, Vino de Pago, IPR
