Abstract

Geographical Indications (GIs) play a crucial role in preserving traditional knowledge, promoting economic growth, and ensuring fair trade practices. Over the years, GI laws have evolved to address contemporary challenges in domestic and international markets. This article explores the transformation of GI protection from a tool for safeguarding regional heritage to a powerful mechanism for economic development and global trade. It examines recent legal advancements, policy changes, and landmark cases that have influenced GI registration and enforcement.
