Why GI tag?
India enacted the Geographical Indications of Goods (Registration & Protection) Act 1999 as a member of the World Trade Organization (WTO), that entered into force with effect from 15 September 2003.
It supports local production and helps in mainstreaming and upliftment of the rural and the tribal communities.
These GI tags must not be confused with IPR. GI is a collective right, unlike IPRs which grants protection to individual interest.
India has registered 236 GI products so far and more than 270 more have applied for the label
GI recently got a logo and a tagline given by the Commerce and Industry Minister to increase the awareness about the IPRs in the country.
