What is Geographical Indication (G.I) Tag
A GI or Geographical Indication is a name or a sign given to certain products that relate to a specific geographical location or origins like a region, town or country.
In India, Geographical Indications registration is administered by the Geographical Indications of Goods (Registration and Protection) Act, 1999 which came into force with effect from September 2003.
GI tag is the abbreviation of Geographical Indications tags in India. It came into force with effect from 15th September 2003.
Darjeeling Tea was the first Indian product to get a GI tag.
Geographical Indications Registry (hq: Chennai, TN) gives the GI tags in India. This registry is directly under the Controller General of Patents, Designs and Trademarks (CGPDTM) of India. So, in other words, CGPDTM gives the GI tags in India.

GI Tags
Geographical Indications of Goods are defined as that aspect of industrial 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.
Under Articles 1 (2) and 10 of the Paris Convention for the Protection of Industrial Property, geographical indications are covered as an element of IPRs.
They are also covered under Articles 22 to 24 of the Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS) Agreement, which was part of the Agreements concluding the Uruguay Round of GATT negotiations.
Proponents of GIs regard them as strong tools for protecting their national property rights. Opponents, however, consider GIs as barriers to trade.
