Abstract
Designations of Origin are one of the intellectual property rights. Their protection is as much significant in economic sense as in legal security aspect. In the Republic of Croatia there is a distinction between Designations of Origin protection for agricultural and food products whose protection is under the Ministry of Agriculture`s jurisdiction and protection that is provided for other products and services which is in the State Intellectual Property Office`s jurisdiction. Legal framework and protection procedures for Designations of Origin which are protected by the State Intellectual Property Office are presented in this paper as well as the entry procedure for the right to use Designations of Origin. Furthermore, the most significant aspects regarding fees payment and expense compensation in those procedures are being elaborated as well as the representation in procedures before the State Intellectual Property Office.
