India enacted The Geographical Indications of Goods (Registration and Protection) Act, 1999 to comply with the obligations of the World Trade Organization (WTO). The act provides for the registration and protection of geographical indications (GI) in India. It aligns with the Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS) under the WTO, which requires member countries to provide legal protection to geographical indications.
