JP Associates: Safeguarding Your Regional Heritage with Geographical Indication Protection
Need Help with Trademark Registration?
Geographical Indications (GIs) represent the unique identity, quality, and reputation of products that originate from a specific geographic location. Whether it’s a traditional craft, agricultural product, or manufactured good, GI protection ensures that the cultural and regional significance of your product is legally recognized and preserved.
Under Indian law, registration of a Geographical Indication grants exclusive rights to authorized users, prevents unauthorized usage, and helps in building brand equity based on geographic origin. GI registration not only promotes rural development and traditional knowledge but also empowers local communities by securing economic benefits from their heritage.
