List of Geographical Indication Tag in India
What is Geographical Indication Tag?
A geographical indication (GI) is a sign used on products having a particular geographical origin and having qualities or a reputation due to that origin.
You might have heard about copyright, patent, trademark, etc. which are rights of intellectual property. Geographical Indication Tag provides holders with similar rights and protection.
Darjeeling tea was the first product to be given a GI tag in India. The Geographical Indications of Goods Act was enacted by India in 1999.
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.
