What Is a Patent?

Image
  A patent is a property right granted to an inventor by a governmental body. In exchange for a complete disclosure of the innovation, the inventor receives exclusive rights to the patented technique, design, or invention for a certain length of time. Patent applications are normally handled and approved by government bodies. The US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), which is part of the Department of Commerce, processes applications and issues approvals in the United States.

Geographical Indications of Goods (Registration and Protection) Act, 1999

  Introduction   The Geographical Indication of the Goods (hence referred to as IG) is a feature of industrial property that refers to the geographical indication of a nation or a location within it as the country or place of origin of that product.   GI aids a producer community in differentiating its items from other competing products on the market and building brand awareness.
