Prior to the entry into force of the TRIPS Agreement, the protection of geographical indications was governed by the Laws on Fair Trade (No. 22.802), Trademarks (No. 22.362), Consumer Protection (No. 24.240) and Unfair Competition (No. 22.262).
The situation referred to in the above question has not arisen so far. In view of the recent enactment of Law No. 25.163 on Wines and Spirits, no Argentine geographical indication has been registered to date.
