Geographical Indications

India has a rich history of cultural and traditional inventions within a vast array of sectors such as handicraft, handloom and food items which are worthy of a special status and statutory protection however, since the passing of the Geographical Indication (Registration and Protection), 1999, India has witnessed a mere 200 product registrations with GI-tags. From Bengal’s Rossogulla to Maharashtra’s Pathani Sarees, from Kerala’s Kanchipurams sarees to Darjeeling’s Tea are some examples of the statutorily protected GI-tagged products which are manufactured and sourced from India. A Geographical Indication could be a name or a sign used on a certain class of agriculture good, manufactured goods or natural goods or products as originating or manufactured from a certain specific geographical area, location or region; where, the geographical area is indicative of quality of the said products and hence, enjoys reputation in the marker owing to the traditional know-how associated with it.
Reimbursement upto Rs. 2 Lakhs under the scheme of Building Awareness on Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) For Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises on registration of GI.

Patent

Acquiring a Patent is the one most effective way of commercialization of any technology and no matter how sophisticated the technology may be, insufficient or lacking description of its technical subject matter is not enabling and does not gain support from the specification. Under the Patents and Designs Act, 1911, any invention with respect to a product or a process that is involving a novel step and is capable of industrial application can be patented within the territory of India.
Reimbursement upto Rs. 1 Lakh towards Domestic Patent Registration and Reimbursement of Rs. 5 Lakh towards Foreign Patent Registration under the scheme of Building Awareness on Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) For Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises.

Copyright

Copyright is a tool made available by the Indian Government to safeguard and promote the works of intellectual origin. Not only this, it also guarantees adequate monetary returns from their work. One reasonable factor of limitation on registration of copyright is that the law protects the material expression of an idea and not the idea in itself. If any litigation arises, the registration establishes the validity and authenticity of the owner’s work and further enables him to claim damages and payment of attorney fees.
