Authors
Dr. D P Verma, Deepika Dhiman
Abstract
Geographical Indications (GIs) designate products that originate from a
particular region or country and have a unique character due to their
particular qualities and production methods. It is a public right owned by
communities collectively. In today’s world GIs are considered as important
intellectual assets in relation to a variety of goods. They are important for
the countries especially the developing countries as they not only promote
development of local communities and also protect their knowledge. They stand
at the intersection of three hotly debated issues in International Law:
International Trade, Intellectual Property and Agricultural Policy, the paper
will also focus on the same. The present paper will mainly discuss the
protection of GIs at international level. The journey of protection of
place-based products at international level from the Paris Convention to the
TRIPS Agreement will be discussed by the authors.
