About Geographical Indications
Every region has its claim to fame. Each reputation was carefully built up and painstakingly maintained by the masters of that region, combining the best of Nature and Man, traditionally handed over from one generation to the next for centuries. Gradually, a specific link between the goods and place of production evolved resulting in growth of geographical indications.
Geographical Indications of Goods (Registration and Protection) Act,1999. seeks to provide for the registration and better protection of geographical indications relating to goods in India. The Act would be administered by the Controller General of Patents, Designs and Trade Marks- who is the Registrar of Geographical Indications. The Geographical Indications Registry is located at Chennai. For GI Registration the application is to made to the Registrar of Geographical Indications, Guna Complex No. 443/304 Anna Salai, Teynampet, Chennai 600 018.
