This work aimed to identify and present the characteristics that the municipality of Ipirá gathers for a Geographical Indication (GI) record, in the form of Indication of Origin (IP), of its leather artifacts, considering the historical and economic aspects associated with this production. The methodology adopted a qualitative approach, with bibliographical research and queries to sites specialized as secondary sources. The know-how is a singular and expressive characteristic in the locality, which distinguishes it from the production of other territories and represents a potential for its certification with the National Institute of Industrial Property, from the structuring of the productive chain with establishment of governance for organization producers and other stakeholders. It was concluded that the production of leather artifacts of Ipirá has great potential for Geographical Indication in the Indication of Origin (IP) mode, which can generate benefits that go beyond the improvement of the population's economic conditions.
