ABSTRACT
Geographical Indication (GI) of origin is actually a place name that identifies the source of a good place and reflects a different quality, dignity, or other aspect of the good that results from that source of that place. Names like 'Darjeeling', 'Basmati', 'Champagne', etc. are examples of some of such well-known GIs associated with the world with products of a certain type and quality. What protection should there be in ensuring that it is used in industry and other activities for the betterment of the community, to gain financial security for the owner, and to encourage others to create more creative work? An important and important link between the origin of the product and its quality or reputation has always been an important factor or sine qua non, in which various authorities interpret GI protection. This protection usually takes the form of rights (Intellectual Property Rights) granted to the owner to use this mental structure to achieve these purposes, and explicitly prohibits others from using the same property.
Well-known examples of this are the 'Champagne' of sparkling wine from this French region, the 'Scotch' of Scottish whiskey or the 'Darjeeling' of this Indian region known as local references and represents the great favour built up over the years. of consumer-product affiliation and location.
