The Indian Geographical indications laws have gone mills ahead but effectively making no headway to accomplish its objectives and mission.
This law applies to three categories of products i.e. Agriculture, Natural and Man-made having its Quality, Characteristic and Reputation.
The various products eligible and registered as Indian GI's produced and manufactured for centuries have undergone changes qua its quality, varieties and its nature. However the Indian GI Laws nowhere provides for incoporation the improvements and changes taking place pursuant to its registration.
This will lead to a huge loss and failure of justice as the eligible product have been undergoing lot of improvements, changes and quality variation. These would be now brought to stand still after its registration.
This is another burning issue which requires us to deliberate.
