Abstract: This study aims to examine the regulation of registration applications for potential geographical indications of coffee in relation to reputation factors. The study employs a normative legal research method with a legislative approach. The study's findings indicate that the assessment of the potential of coffee is highly subjective, as it is based on individual tastes. However, in this context, the assessment of the potential of coffee from a particular region can be conducted by experts in the field. Additionally, the registered natural products within the geographical indication serve as a marker that these products originate from a specific area, serving as the basis for the registration of the uniqueness of coffee within that specific region. This aligns with Law no. 20 of 2016 concerning Trademarks and Geographical Indications, which defines geographical indications in Article 1, number 6, stating that it refers to a sign indicating the origin of a product due to geographical environmental factors, including natural elements, human factors, or a combination of both, providing reputation, quality, and specific characteristics to the goods or products produced.
