The Ministry of Commerce’s Department of Intellectual Property (IP) Rights has recorded a significant increase in domestic and international brand registrations, totalling 120,000 alongside seven Geographical Indication (GI) brands.
The private sector expects that international demand for “Kampot-Kep salt”, “Kampot-Kep fish sauce” and “Takeo crayfish” will grow following their anticipated domestic registrations as geographical indications (GIs) this year.
