Geographical Indications (GIs)

Geographical Indications are a powerful way to protect regional identity, cultural heritage, and the commercial value of traditional goods. At DIPS, we support local producers, cooperatives, artisan clusters, and government bodies in securing GI protection under the Geographical Indications of Goods (Registration and Protection) Act, 1999.

Our services not only focus on registration but also on building robust protection and branding strategies to ensure community benefit and economic sustainability.

Our services for GI protection include:

Eligibility Assessment: We identify products that qualify for GI registration based on geographical origin, reputation, and unique characteristics.
Documentation and Filing: We assist with preparing detailed applications, historical evidence, production processes, and stakeholder declarations.
Representation Before Authorities: We coordinate hearings, responses, and compliance checks before the GI Registry.
Awareness and Training Programs: We conduct IP awareness sessions and capacity-building workshops for producer groups and state government agencies.
Branding and Packaging Consultation: We help with GI tagging, packaging designs, and developing marketing strategies aligned with the GI status.
Legal Enforcement and Protection: We monitor and prevent misuse of GIs, facilitate cease-and-desist notices, and support legal actions against unauthorized users.

By securing a GI, communities gain ownership over heritage and quality-linked branding, and DIPS ensures this protection is meaningful and enforceable.
