Significance of GI Tags
• A geographical indication right facilitates those who have the right to use the indication to prohibit its usage by a third party whose product does not conform to the applicable standards.
• For example, in the purview in which the Darjeeling geographical indication is protected, producers of Darjeeling tea can omit the term “Darjeeling” for tea not grown in their tea gardens or not produced according to the norms set out in the code of practice for the geographical indication.
• However, a secure GI does not allow the holder to prohibit anyone from creating products using the same method set by the criteria for that indication. Protection for a GI tag is usually collected by acquiring a right over the sign that constitutes the indication.
