Sakpatenti is going to exercise PDO and PGI rights using legal ways. For this purpose, it is planning to acquire international legal services worth of 100 thousand GEL. Due to fact than launching a procurement tender is technically impossible, the authority requests the right of simplified procurement. 

“Due to specificity of execution of PDO and PGI rights and measures necessary for this purpose it is not possible to specifically clarify or plan the objects of Georgian PDO and PGI for specific goods and the volume of measures to be taken”, - is stated in the explanation of the authority. 

At the first stage, Sakpatenti will initialize legal measures in Estonia and Latvia, where multiple cases of illegal usage of Georgian geographic indication Sulguni and Chirchkhela were registered. In Estonia, cases of improper registration of trademarks with Georgian names of wines Kindzmarauli, Kvanzkali, Kindzmali have been noted. Georgian party will also make disputable the fact of illegal usage of Kindzmarauli name in Russia.
