Years of protection, once a GI is registered
Most Indian MSMEs are unfamiliar with GI law – and it works quite differently from every other IP type. Here's the simplest way to think about it.
Protects your brand name or logo – owned by one business.
Protects original creative works – owned by one creator.
Protects how a product looks – owned by one applicant.
Protects how something works – owned by one inventor.
Protects a product tied to a region – owned collectively by a producer community, never by one individual.
A GI is a name or sign used on products that come from a specific place, where a quality, characteristic, or reputation is essentially due to that geographical origin – think Darjeeling Tea, Basmati Rice, or Kanchipuram Silk. Unlike a trademark, which distinguishes one company's goods, a GI signals that a product belongs to a shared regional tradition – which is exactly why it's registered and owned differently.
This is the one thing every applicant must understand before commissioning a registrability check.
Unlike a trademark, copyright, design, or patent – all of which an individual can own – a Geographical Indication cannot be registered by a single person or business. Only an association of persons, producers, or an organisation or authority established by law, representing the interests of the producers of the product, can file a GI application. This is because a GI is a collective right, not an individual one – it protects an entire community's shared reputation, not one business's brand.
Cooperatives, producer societies, artisan guilds, or any organisation representing the region's producers.
A sole proprietor or single company cannot register a new GI alone – though they may be able to join an existing one as an authorised user.
This matters more than most applicants realise – because the answer changes what you actually need to do next.
India's GI Register has two parts. If no GI exists yet for your product and region, your producer group applies for a brand-new registration. But if a GI already exists – say, for tea from your district, or silk from your town – you likely don't need a new application at all.
Your producer association applies to register the GI itself – the full process this check assesses your prospects for.
If the GI already exists, individual producers apply separately to use it – a different, usually simpler and faster process.
Tick each statement that's true for you to see where you stand.
This is a self-assessment to help you think it through – not a formal legal opinion.
One Complete Plan, one transparent price – no Government fee, since this is a pre-filing assessment, not a Registry filing.
You get a genuine assessment of your GI prospects, not a sales pitch. Our opinion is not conditioned on selling you a follow-on application service – if the prospects are weak, we'll tell you plainly and explain why.
A standard non-disclosure agreement is signed before you share your product details, origin story, and supporting records – your information stays protected.
Our pricing is simple and honest. Our one-time, all-inclusive price is the only fee you will ever pay for every step in the package.
Many producer groups either skip a proper eligibility check entirely and file blind, risking outright refusal after months of effort, or get a shallow assessment that misses the specific evidentiary gaps a GI examiner will actually flag.
Providers who profit from the full application regardless of outcome have little incentive to give you an honest "the evidence isn't there yet" verdict when that's the right answer.
A single, transparent ₹7,900 one-time payment – a comprehensive, attorney-reviewed assessment and an honest verdict, whichever way it goes.
