  • 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. LOGO 1 www.gradeup.co Here we give you an infographic of the most recent addition in the GI list over the past couple of years (2017-2019 Feb) Recently Awarded GI Tag Commodity/handicraft/food Name Place item Konkan (Western Indian states of Maharashtra, Alphonso Food Goa, and the South Indian state of Karnataka)

  • Adagio Therapeutics Partners with Biocon Biologics to Bring Potent
    Adagio Therapeutics Partners with Biocon Biologics to Bring Potent and Broadly Neutralizing COVID-19 Antibody Treatment to Patients in India and Select Emerging Markets Waltham, MA – July 26, 2021 – Adagio Therapeutics, Inc., a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery, development and commercialization of antibody-based solutions for infectious diseases with pandemic potential, today announced a partnership agreement with Biocon Biologics Ltd., to combat the ongoing COVID-19 crisis in southern Asia. Biocon Biologics Ltd. is a fully integrated biosimilars company and a subsidiary of Biocon Ltd., a global biopharmaceuticals company, (BSE code: 532523, NSE: BIOCON). Under the terms of the agreement, Adagio will provide Biocon with materials and know-how to manufacture and commercialize an antibody treatment based on ADG20 in India and additional select emerging markets. ADG20, Adagio’s lead product candidate, is designed to be a potent, long-acting and broadly neutralizing antibody for both the treatment and prevention of COVID-19 as either a single or combination agent. Unlike other antibody-based therapies specifically targeting SARS-CoV-2, ADG20 has demonstrated an ability to neutralize SARS-CoV-2 in non-clinical studies, including variants of concern, as well as a broad range of other SARS-like viruses. ADG20 is currently being evaluated in two separate Phase 2/3 global clinical trials, the STAMP trial to evaluate ADG20 for the treatment of non-hospitalized COVID-19 patients and the EVADE trial to evaluate ADG20 for the prevention of COVID-19. “This partnership underscores the commitment of two companies to come together in order to make a significant impact on global health,” said Tillman Gerngross, Ph.D., co-founder and chief executive officer of Adagio.
