designated region

also called protected origin name

The specific protected place a geographical-indication designation names — the stated designation as it trades ('Champagne', 'Parmigiano-Reggiano', 'Roquefort', 'Darjeeling'), riding one GI scheme statement as its qualifier, one per statement. Deliberately a literal record, never a governed word: protected designations number in the thousands worldwide and are the unstable proper-noun stratum the pool places in the data layer — the language names the scheme (the bounded set), the record names the place, exactly as an offer names a role in the language and the party in the data. A short single-line name, hence plain text.

Designated region is free text, written for one product alone and never shared as a category.

It is a qualifier of geographical indication — it has meaning only inside a geographical indication statement, one per statement, never on its own. It belongs with geographical indication to compliance — where it is from and what it meets.

It is answered inside every geographical indication statement, not as a standalone question on a kind.
