China has rich resources of geographical indications and is a large country of geographical indications. China's protection of geographical indications started from the fulfillment of international conventions responsibilities and obligations, and it has formed a set of unique geographical indications protection system with the intersection of trademark protection and product quality protection. However, under this intersection system, the protection of geographical indications has been characterized by the problems of multi-pronged and confusing management. Against the background of the dual demands of international intellectual property competition and domestic intellectual property development, China should protect Geographical Indications properly. This paper studies the trend of geographical indications protection in China, lists the current situation and problems of geographical indications protection in China, and argues that the formulation of a special law on geographical indications is an inevitable part of the high-level protection of geographical indications. Realizing the synergistic protection of special legislation and trademark law, improving the system of geographical indications protection, and actively promoting the brand building of geographical indications are the trends of legal protection of geographical indications in China.
