The Protection of Geographical Indications (GIs) in India is governed by "The Geographical Indications of Goods (Registration & Protection) Act, 1999".
GIs of Goods are defined as that aspect of intellectual property which refers to the geographical indication referring to a country or to a place situated therein as being the country or place of origin of that product. Typically, such a name conveys an assurance of quality and distinctiveness which is essentially attributable to the fact of its origin in that defined geographical locality, region or country.
