Geographical indication is issued to protect the origin and quality of products; it is mainly applicable to agriculture, handcrafted products, and natural products. Geographical indications are one of the types of intellectual property rights (IPR) that indicate a good as belonging to a specified region, locale, or country’s territory. Where a certain quality, reputation, or other aspect of the good is mainly due to its geographic origin.

When a location is mentioned, people immediately think of the things that originated there, and this is because the link between things and locations has become so strong. Indian G.I. products include Darjeeling tea and basmati rice.

Legal representation for GIs is crucial. Without adequate legal protection, rivals with no rightful claim to the G.I. are free to benefit from its goodwill. Such unethical business activities cause income loss for G.I. rights holders and consumer confusion. Additionally, such actions may ultimately harm the reputation and goodwill connected to a geographical indicator.
