Preserving Regional Identity through Legal Protection

Geographical Indications (GIs) are a unique form of intellectual property that protect products originating from a specific location and possessing distinct qualities, reputation, or characteristics due to their geographic origin. We help producer groups, cooperatives, and associations secure and enforce their GI rights under the Geographical Indications of Goods. Whether you represent a traditional craft, agricultural product, or manufactured item with historical and regional value, our legal team guides you through every step—from application to enforcement.

Our GI Services Include:

GI Registration Application 

We assist producer groups in preparing and filing GI applications with the Geographical Indications Registry, including drafting of statements of case, supporting documentation, and representations.

Legal Advisory & Documentation

We advise on eligibility, documentation, group constitution, and the distinction between GI and other forms of IP like trademarks and collective marks.

Opposition & Rectification

We file and defend oppositions and rectification petitions before the Registrar to challenge or correct GI entries.

Renewal & Maintenance

We manage timely renewals and assist in amending registered GIs due to updated specifications or scope.

Enforcement & Litigation

We provide litigation support in GI infringement cases, including civil suits and criminal action for unauthorized use and counterfeiting.
