  • Geographical Indication Tag
    www.gradeup.co Geographical Indication Tag 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.

    International Journal of Social Science and Economic Research ISSN: 2455-8834 Volume: 04, Issue: 04 "April 2019" GEOGRAPHICAL INDICATION IN INDIA: CURRENT SCENARIO AND THEIR PRODUCT DISTRIBUTION Swati Sharma Independent Researcher, Gohana, Distt. Sonipat, 131301. ABSTRACT Purpose- The main purpose of this paper is to discuss the concept of geographical indication in India. As geographical indication is an emerging trend and helps us to identify particular goods having special quality, reputation or features originating from a geographical territory. Research methodology- The main objective of the study is to analyze the current scenario and products registered under geographical indication in India during April 2004- March 2019 and discuss state wise, year wise and product wise distribution in India. Secondary data was used for the study and the data was collected from Geographical Indications Registry. Descriptive analysis was used for the purpose of analysis. Findings- The result of present study indicates that Karnataka has highest number of GI tagged products and maximum number of product was registered in the year 2008-09. Most popular product that is registered is handicraft. 202 handicrafts were registered till the date. Implications- The theoretical implications of the study is that it provides State wise distribution, year wise distribution and product wise distribution of GI products in India. This helps the customers as well as producers to make a brand name of that product through origin name.
