ABSTRACT

A Geographical Indication is assigned to a product/commodity that originates from a particular location, and the product/quality commodity’s and/or reputation is solely due to its place of origin. The purpose of GI is to maintain the quality, credibility and other characteristics of such products, primarily due to their geographical origin. Its geographical origin is basically due to the quality, popularity or other characteristics of such products. There are two features of the established Government of India Registry: (i) protection of procedures against counterfeiting and misleading trade; and (ii) striking a balance between trade mark protection and GI protection. There’s a name and frame for every geographical region. Mostly the qualities and characteristics of certain goods attributable to some geographical locations and reputable to “as produce of certain region” come under Geographical Indications (GI). It is an emerging trend in Intellectual Property Rights. The GI Act discloses claimant’s right to produce goods designated by the registered GI and to be able to file an application as an authorized user for registration. Key words: Geographical Indications, India, Registry, Intellectual Property Rights, Registration
