In Chile there's over 350.000 brands. Less than 100 have a Seal of Origin.

What is the Seal of Origin?
It's a special distinction that is given to products with special qualities, that are produced in a specific geographical area.
What advantages does the Seal of Origin provides?
Using this distinction alongside your brand shows its exclusivity, increases its visibility, and grants differentiation in respect to identical or similar products.
Which are the different seals of origin?
There are four categories of seals of origin

Geographical Indication
It's a distinction used for products which qualities derive from a determined geographical place, whether it's the region of production, extraction, growth, or manufacture.
E.g. Bordeaux Wine

Appellation of Origin
In addition to the relation with the geographical place, other characteristic human factors must be proved, like special techniques or traditions in the manufacture.
E.g. Iberian Ham

Collective Mark
It's a distinctive sign used to identify the origin, material or way of making of the goods or services produced by the members of an association.
E.g. Girl Scout Cookies

Certification Mark
It's a distinctive sign that indicates that the product or service complies with a series of standards validated by a certification authority.
E.g. California Certified Organic Farmers
