Geographical Indication (GI) Tags
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. The World Trade Organization (WTO) Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS) governs the Geographical Indications in the World. Under Article 22 (1) of the agreement, the term ‘Geographical Indication’ has been defined. Geographical Indication (GI) Tags are given to a wide range of products falling under the following categories-
- Agriculture products
- Natural products
- Manufactured items
- Textiles
- Handicrafts
- Food stuffs
Using Geographical Indications may be regarded as a certification that the particular product is produced as per traditional methods, has certain specific qualities, or has a particular reputation because of its geographical origin. GI Tag ensures that none other than those registered as authorized users are allowed to use the popular product name. In order to function as a GI, a sign must identify a product as originating in a given place. Geographical indications are mostly traditional products, produced by rural communities over generations that have gained prominence on the markets for their precise qualities.
