It is in this ordering that the legal figure of Geographical Indication (GI) exists. The State of Pará is a federative unit extremely rich in biodiversity, products and services that could have their origin protected by GI, but it has, in fact, only one granted registration. The aim of this paper was to try to demonstrate the paradox between intellectual property and potentialities in the State of Pará. Bibliographic and exploratory studies were conducted, the results of which show that there are many possibilities in the field of GI. It is concluded that this paradox can be faced from the advancement of the articulations of various actors in the search for the institutionalization of the intellectual property right of Pará distinctive riches.
