As from the end of 2005, the registration of Geographical Indications and Appellations of Origin concerning agriculture goods in Chile is allowed, which makes possible to request its recognition as long as the requirements established in the Law are fulfilled. Basically, such recognition demands the evidence by an organization or association of producers –by means of a technical report elaborated for these purposes– of the particular characteristics that a certain geographical environment grants to specific product, or of the features that characterize some product as a consequence of the combination between such geographical environment and the human factor represented by the special ways or techniques followed in its production or elaboration.

Nowadays Geographical Indications and Appellations of Origin have become an actual high quality seal for goods, particularly in export markets, enhancing therefore significantly its competitiveness. Besides this, Geographical Indications and Appellations of Origin constitute true adjuvant factors that help the maintenance and control of goods quality, guaranteeing its commercial positioning.

Protection of intellectual property rights is only the first step in a chain of value addressed to its proper exploitation. Within this context, the profitability of such intangible assets demands necessarily the development of a legal and commercial framework that supports it and grants its owner the needed security so that its creative endeavor does not dilute over time.

With this purpose, the adequate protection of these rights as from its initial creation stage  is of the essence, whether this is accomplished by either confidentiality agreements –if its disclosure to third parties that may later be implied in its exploitation is needed– or through its treatment as trade secret. Afterwards, the transfer of the developed technology and the know-how gained to the best execution of an innovation, along with licensing, franchising and transferring, constitute the usual tools to undertake the exploitation of intangible assets.

On the other hand, the valuation of intellectual property rights and its specialized brokerage for its commercialization, are very useful resources that help their owners in their negotiation, allowing them to obtain as much benefits as possible.
