Terms of Use
Nature of the content
Origin Türkiye publishes reference information on Turkish Geographical Indication products sourced from EU and Turkish public records. Product data is reviewed before publication, but this site is not a substitute for official EU eAmbrosia records or TÜRKPATENT certification documents. In the event of any discrepancy, the official source record governs.
Producer and supplier information
Where producer or supplier information is published on this site, it is sourced from TÜRKPATENT public records and other named primary sources. Publication of a company name does not constitute an endorsement, a commercial recommendation, or a guarantee of product quality. Origin Türkiye is not party to any transaction between a buyer and any listed producer or supplier and accepts no liability arising from such transactions.
Acceptable use
You may not scrape, republish at scale, or use automated means to extract the content of this site for commercial redistribution. Content is provided for reference and informational use. Organisations requiring structured data access for commercial or institutional purposes should submit a partnership enquiry.
Changes to these terms
We may update this page as the platform changes. Material changes will be reflected in the last-updated date at the top of this page.

We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or acting as an official representative of the Turkish Patent and Trademark Office (TÜRKPATENT), any Turkish municipal or regional government authority, any agricultural cooperative or producer union, or any geographical indication certification body. Our editorial content is produced independently and does not represent the position of any government or producer organisation.
2. Use of geographical indication names
Geographical indication names, regional product designations, and associated branding referenced on this platform are used solely for descriptive, identificatory, and informational purposes. Their use is consistent with fair use principles applicable to editorial and informational publishing. All intellectual property rights in GI registrations remain with their respective registered holders. Origin Türkiye makes no claim to GI registration ownership or certification authority.
3. Information accuracy
While we strive to provide accurate and current information regarding GI certification status, EU registration, and market data, all content is provided for informational purposes only. Origin Türkiye makes no warranties regarding the completeness, accuracy, or currency of any data presented. Users should verify all regulatory and certification information independently before making commercial decisions.
4. Not legal, financial, or commercial advice
Content on this platform does not constitute legal, financial, investment, or commercial advice. Businesses considering any commercial relationship based on information found here should conduct independent due diligence appropriate to their jurisdiction and commercial circumstances.
5. No endorsement
The presence of any GI product, regional designation, producer name, or supplier information on this platform does not constitute an endorsement of Origin Türkiye by any producer group, government authority, or certification body. Equally, inclusion of any entity on this platform does not constitute a commercial endorsement by Origin Türkiye.
6. Limitation of liability
In no event shall Origin Türkiye be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from use of this platform, reliance on information contained herein, or inability to complete any commercial transaction referenced on this platform.
Origin Türkiye is an independent reference publication about registered geographical indication products. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or acting on behalf of TÜRKPATENT, the European Commission, any municipal government, regional agricultural cooperative, or GI producer group.
All geographical indication names referenced on this platform are used for descriptive and informational purposes only, to identify the registered products the content describes. Ownership of GI registrations remains with their respective holders, and the right to apply a protected name to a product rests with producers operating under the relevant specification and control body. Registration data is drawn from the EU register of geographical indications, Commission Implementing Regulations published in the Official Journal, and TÜRKPATENT records. Where a product's status has changed since our last review, the register is authoritative and this site is not.
