This study attempts to look at how Geographical indications (GIs) help protect old products and cultural identity, especially by comparing the legal and procedural challenges faced by Arab countries with those in European law. GIs act as an important legal tool to protect products that have special characteristics linked to specific regions; this approach improves product quality and strengthens the local economy. The study examines the differences between the legal systems of Arab countries—such as Oman and Yemen—which implement simple rules, and European countries, which operate in more complex and regulated environments. The results show clear contrasts in both the rules and requirements for registering GIs; some countries attach more importance to the local link, while others take into account the unique characteristics of the product. These differences greatly affect how well the registration system works and how well local products benefit from the protection provided by GIs. On the other hand, legal complexities, including registration costs and the duration of procedures, directly relate to the economic benefits of these indications. Thus, based on such findings, the study advocates for the creation of a uniform and inclusive legal framework for the registration of geographical indications in Arab countries in line with the best international practices of the country. It also emphasizes the importance of streamlining the processes and formal requirements, along with providing legal and technical assistance to local producers. The study ultimately indicated that there is a very critical need to raise public awareness about the importance of geographical indications through targeted information campaigns for farmers, artisans and policy makers in order to promote their use in order to protect local products and enrich cultural identity.
