Preserve Your Product’s Regional Significance with Our Expert Guidance

Conserve Your Exclusiveness With Legal Security

In an age where traditional flavours and regional specialties, such as Darjeeling Tea and Pashmina Shawls, have gained worldwide acclaim, it’s crucial to protect these unique products from fraudulent imitations. Rapid technological advancements and globalisation have led to an increase in low-quality counterfeits that misrepresent their origin. Geographical Indication (GI) laws serve as a robust mechanism to safeguard the authenticity of such products, enhancing their export value, reducing misuse, and enabling owners to reap financial benefits.

Geographical Indication as per WIPO

A geographical indication (GI) is a mark used on products that originate from a specific location and possess qualities or a reputation inherent to that place. To function as a GI, the mark must clearly identify a product’s geographical origin, which directly influences its qualities and reputation. This intrinsic link between the product and its place of origin is crucial for its GI status.
