The ministry said it mediated 23 cases of infringement and dissolved 37 trademarks during the year.
Ministry spokesman Pen Sovicheat told The Post that trademark registration offers protection for appellations of origin linked to specific geographical locations and associated qualities, reputations and characteristics, especially those designated as Geographical Indications (GI). GI trademark registration is an important tool to encourage the community to produce high-quality GI products by strengthening and expanding production chains, improving systematic quality control, and leading to more exports abroad, he said.
The report revealed that the ministry is also working on the domestic GI registration of Kampot salt and “fleur de sel” (flower of salt).

The Ministry of Commerce is pressing on to register some of the Kingdom’s more renown products as collective trademarks and grant them domestic geographical indication (GI) to provide them with added exposure on the international market.
Minister Pan Sorasak said this at a January 25 meeting with officials from the Oddar Meanchey provincial Department of Commerce and local bureaus of the Cambodia Import-Export Inspection and Fraud Repression Directorate-General (Camcontrol).
He said the ministry is working on the GI registration of Kampot salt and “fleur de sel” (flower of salt), Pursat oranges and Mondulkiri wild honey.
