Abstract

Identification of GI is based on Law Number 20 Year 2016 regarding Marks and Geographical Indications, that GI is protected as long as the maintenance of reputation, quality, and characteristics. GI has two functions, namely as a promotional product that has unique characteristics, and a source of information for consumers about quality, reputation, and authenticity. GI registrations can be submitted by institutions representing communities in certain geographic areas who are looking for natural products or products, handicraft articles and industrial products. The registration authority is the Provincial or Regency/City Government. Local potential is one of the characteristics that can have the potential to be registered as a GI. Aceh has a very diverse local potential including handicrafts produced by craftsmen in Aceh. This article will analyze the potential of Aceh embroidery as a GI. This study found that Acehnese embroidery met the criteria as a GI, namely characteristics, quality and reputation. Acehnese embroidery has very different characteristics from embroidery from other regions, both in terms of manufacturing techniques, motifs and the use of color combinations that really show the local potential of the Aceh region. The quality of Aceh embroidery is very good which has competitiveness in national and international markets. The reputation of Aceh's embroidery has reached various provinces and abroad.
