GI Basics

What Makes a GI Different From Every Other IP Right?

Most Indian MSMEs are unfamiliar with GI law – and it works quite differently from trademark, copyright, design, or patent.

®️

Trademark

Protects your brand name or logo – owned by one business.

©️

Copyright

Protects original creative works – owned by one creator.

🧊

Design Patent

Protects how a product looks – owned by one applicant.

⚙️

Patent

Protects how something works – owned by one inventor.

🗺️

GI (This Page)

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. Registering one protects your region's shared heritage from being copied, diluted, or misused by producers with no real connection to it.

Transparent, One-Time Pricing

One plan, one transparent fee – the same price for every applicant group, since the GI Rules do not offer an entity-based fee concession for this filing.

Fee-Lock Guarantee + Transparency Note

The price you pay today is the price you pay. If discrepancies, objections, or a hearing arise during registration, it's handled within your existing fee – no stage-wise add-on, ever. This guarantee covers your fee; it does not guarantee that the GI will ultimately be registered, as that decision rests with the Registry.

Why Register Your Region's GI Now?

  • Without registration, anyone can use your region's product name – diluting its reputation and the price premium it should command.
  • A registered GI gives your producer group legal standing to stop misuse, including civil remedies and criminal penalties for intentional falsification.
  • It strengthens export potential, since buyers and importers increasingly look for authenticated regional origin.
  • Ten years of protection, renewable indefinitely, secures your region's heritage for generations of producers to come.

Why One Complete Plan?

  • Most providers charge separately for documentation, filing, examination follow-ups and opposition support.
  • Our plan is a single, transparent fee – no future surprises at any stage.
  • Every step is covered – Statement of Case, filing, examination coordination, and opposition support if raised.
  • Managed end-to-end by our process team, together with the attorney your group authorises.
Value Comparison

The Real Cost: Why Our Price Is Better

Our pricing is simple and honest. Our one-time, all-inclusive fee is the only fee you will ever pay for every step in the package.

The Fragmented-Fee Trap

Most providers charge separately for the Statement of Case, filing, examination responses, and opposition proceedings – so the quoted "starting fee" rarely reflects what a full registration actually costs.

A thin or poorly evidenced Statement of Case is one of the most common reasons GI applications stall or face objections – a mistake that costs far more to fix later than to get right at filing.

Our Complete Plan

A single, transparent ₹27,900 one-time payment – no hidden charges, no future surprises.

Your registration is managed end-to-end by our process team, together with the attorney your group authorises, including opposition support if it's ever needed.

Is This Right For You?

Who This Plan Is For

We'd rather you buy this with a clear head than assume it's for everyone.

This Plan Is Right For You If:
  • You represent a producer association, cooperative, or organisation ready to file
  • Your product has a genuine, documented link to a specific region
  • You have producer details, evidence, and a Statement of Case ready to develop
  • You are prepared for a process that typically takes 12 to 24 months
You May Not Need This If:
  • You are a sole individual or single business with no producer group behind you – see our GI Registrability Check first, or talk to our team about forming a group
  • You are unsure whether your product actually qualifies – our GI Registrability Check assesses this before you commit to a full filing
  • A GI already exists for your product and region – you likely need Authorised User registration instead, a different and simpler process

How It Works

Your GI Registration Journey in 6 Stages

Every stage is tracked on the platform, with your authorised IP attorney acting upon your written authorisation, from documentation through to your registration certificate.

1

Stage 1: Statement of Case & Documentation

We help your group compile the Statement of Case – the origin story, quality link, producer details, and supporting evidence the Registry requires.

2

Stage 2: Form GI-1 Filing

Once documentation is ready, your authorised IP attorney prepares and e-files your application with the GI Registry in Chennai, upon your written authorisation, and you receive filing confirmation.

3

Stage 3: Examination by the Registry

A consultative group of experts examines your application. Your authorised IP attorney handles any discrepancy responses upon your written authorisation, and our platform team coordinates with them on all Registry communication.

4

Stage 4: Acceptance & Journal Publication

Once accepted, your application is published in the GI Journal, opening the window for any third-party opposition.

5

Stage 5: Opposition Window

Interested parties may oppose within the notice period. If an opposition is filed, your authorised IP attorney handles the response upon your written authorisation, covered by the same one-time Platform & Professional Fee + GST. The outcome and timelines are as per Registry Schedule.

Opposition Response – if raised
6

Stage 6: Registration & Certificate

Once the Registrar is satisfied, your GI is entered in the Register and your Certificate of Registration is issued. As per the Geographical Indications Act, 1999, registration is valid for 10 years and can be renewed.

This is not merely a filing service – every stage above is tracked on the platform, and discrepancy responses and opposition support, where required, are undertaken by your authorised IP attorney upon your written authorisation, all covered by the same one-time Platform & Professional Fee + GST.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I apply for a GI as an individual business owner?
No. Under Section 11 of the GI Act, 1999, only an association of persons, producers, or an organisation or authority established by law, representing producers' interests, can apply. If you're a sole individual or single business, you'd need to form or join a producer group first.
Should I do the Registrability Check before this filing?
It's a smart first step if you're not confident in your prospects. Our GI Registrability Check gives your group an honest, attorney-vetted assessment before you commit to this full filing, which typically takes 12 to 24 months. If you're already confident and have your evidence ready, you can proceed directly with this plan.
What if a GI already exists for my product and region?
Then you likely don't need a new GI application at all. Individual producers in an already-covered region can apply separately for Authorised User registration – a different, usually simpler and faster process than registering a brand-new GI.
What does the Fee-Lock Guarantee + Transparency Note actually cover?
It means the ₹27,900 you pay today is final for this application – if discrepancies, objections, or a hearing arise during the process, they're handled within your existing fee, with no stage-wise add-on charge. This guarantee covers your fee; it does not guarantee that the GI will ultimately be registered, since that decision rests with the Registry.
What happens after my GI is registered?
Your producer group becomes the registered proprietor, holding collective rights over the GI. Individual producers in the region then apply separately to become Authorised Users, giving them the right to use the GI mark and take infringement action. The registration is valid for 10 years and renewable indefinitely thereafter.
What if someone opposes our GI application?
Opposition support is included in your one-time fee. If a third party opposes your application during the notice period, our team coordinates the response with the attorney your group authorises, at no additional charge.
Does this plan include a TROM dashboard or login account?
No. TROM dashboard features are part of our separate Trademark Registration & Online Management plan. Your application is tracked through direct support channels and status updates from our platform team.
Is ipronline.com a law firm?
No. ipronline.com is a technology platform providing process management, documentation and workflow tools in accordance with Indian IP procedures. When legal representation is needed, you independently engage authorised IP attorneys.
