Summary/Abstract: The creations that are protected under “industrial property” are, like other creations protected under the comprehensive name of “intellectual property,” products of human creative activity, the fruit of thought, rational activity, and the result of man's ability to create and to perceive concepts. With regard to trademarks and geographical indications, it is initially noted that they do not constitute creations of the spirit in the true sense of the word and that their connection with "intellectual property" is rather vague, according to some authors, non-existent.
