Locked out, without a GI tag


Law of Geographical Indications (GIs) is linked to the terroir, that is the quality of a product is essentially attributable to the territory where product originates from.

GIs support local production and important rural and tribal communities Unlike Intellectual Property Rights (IPRs) which guarantee individual interestGI is a collective right.

India implemented GI in 1999, a prime reason being its obligation to have a law on GI as a member of the World Trade OrganisationTrade Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (WTOTRIPS)

Politics behind the incorporation of GI in TRIPS United States was not a supporter of GI, it was lobbying by the EU that

ensured its inclusion in TRIPS. The EU already had its domestic mechanisms in place to protect GIs

and was keen to protect its products in international markets.


Geographical Indications of Goods (Registration and Protection) Act, 1999 has come into force with effect from 15 September 2003.

Proprietor of GI relating to wines and spirits does not have to prove thatincorrect use of the geographic origin is misleading as well.

India has failed to introspect(आत्मननरीक्षण) on its own domestic legislation.

Important to highlight the shortcomings of the Indian GI Act. Against this backdrop, proof of origin is a mandatory criterion for

registering GIs in India. This provision is borrowed from the EU’s regulations on GI protection. Historic proof in the form of documentary evidence (gazetteers, documents,

news articles, advertisement materials). Including such a provision in our law as there was no mandate under TRIPs

to do so. Documentary evidence as proof of origin may be a foolproof mechanism

to ensure the link between the product and territory Northeast where oral history has had far wider convention over

written history, this provision will prove to be a formidable hurdle.Copyright @ Study-IQ education


Assam -One such example is a traditional rice wine called ‘Judima’ which ismade by Dimasa tribe of Dima Hasao, one of the autonomous hill districts.

Difficulty in gathering documentary evidence as proof of origin. It is the same case with many other products from the Northeast Judima’, word ‘Ju’ stands for drink and ‘Dima’ for Dimasas, but the absence

of any documentary proof makes the case a difficult one to prove. What is rationality behind including and retaining such provisions in law? For most products, especially those of tribal communities India faced difficulties patent case involving turmeric when two scientists

of the University of Mississippi Medical Centre, were granted U.S. patent for the use of turmeric in wound(घाव) healing.


Conclusion

Continue…


India Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), which opposed this , was asked by U.S. Patent and Trademark to submit documentary evidence of usage of turmeric for healing purposes in India in order to revoke patent

CSIR was compelled to launch a project of translating ancient Sanskrit textswhich were later produced as evidence, and accepted

So, what happens in cases such where a written history is rare? The GI authorities should amend the existing provision.
