Geographical Indication (GI) Registration in India

A Geographical Indication (GI) registration is used to identify products that originate from a specific geographical region and possess qualities or a reputation tied to that location. In India, GI registration is governed by the Geographical Indications of Goods (Registration and Protection) Act, 1999.

Benefits of GI Registration

There are the following benefits of registering a GI:

  • Legal Protection: It provides legal safeguards against unauthorized use or imitation of the registered GI, ensuring that only authorized users can use the indication
  • Economic Prosperity: GI registration can boost the economic well-being of producers by enhancing the marketability of their products, often allowing them to command premium prices.​
  • Cultural Preservation: It helps in preserving traditional knowledge, cultural heritage, and the unique identity of regional products.
