在放松对咖啡部门的管制的背景下，最近实施了一些地理标志的注册。本文旨在回答以下研究问题：地理标志的过程（保护和管理）如何有助于合理化国家在咖啡部门的作用？在哥伦比亚，全国咖啡种植者联合会采取一切主动行动，在哥伦比亚和欧洲联盟将哥伦比亚咖啡馆作为地理标志进行注册和实施，并管理地理标志的使用。在肯尼亚，咖啡理事会注册了认证商标“Coffee Kenya，So Rich So Kenyan”，并作为公共机构负责管理咖啡行业。虽然两国设想了不同的方法，但有一个共同的战略路线，即试图确保持久的原产地咖啡品牌的下游价值，并加强质量管理体系。本文表明，在咖啡行业的公共干预的差异取决于授权的生产者在这个行业，无论法律的工具，以保护地理标志。(C)2016爱思唯尔有限公司版权所有
In the context of de-regulation of the coffee sector, the registration of some Geographical Indications (GIs) has recently been implemented. This paper aims at answering to the following research question: how does GIs' process (protection and management) help to rationalize the role of the state in the coffee sector? In Colombia, the National Coffee Growers Federation took all initiatives for the registration and implementation of Cafe de Colombia as a GI both in Colombia and in European Union and manages also the GI use. In Kenya, the Coffee Directorate registered the certification trademark "Coffee Kenya, So Rich So Kenyan" and acts as public body in charge of managing the coffee sector. Although both countries conceived different approaches, there is a common strategic line, which consists in attempting to secure downstrearri value of the long lasting origin coffee branding and in strengthening the quality management system. This paper shows that discrepancies in public intervention in the coffee industry depend on the empowerment of producers in this industry irrespective of the legal tool to protect GIs.
