9 Locked out, without a GI tag Law of Geographical Indications (GIs) is linked to the terroir, that is the quality of a product is essentially attributable to the territory where product originates from. GIs support local production and important rural and tribal communities Unlike Intellectual Property Rights (IPRs) which guarantee individual interest GI is a collective right. India implemented GI in 1999, a prime reason being its obligation to have a law on GI as a member of the World Trade Organisation Trade Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (WTO TRIPS) Politics behind the incorporation of GI in TRIPS United States was not a supporter of GI, it was lobbying by the EU that ensured its inclusion in TRIPS. The EU already had its domestic mechanisms in place to protect GIs and was keen to protect its products in international markets.

10 Geographical Indications of Goods (Registration and Protection) Act, 1999 has come into force with effect from 15 September 2003.

11 Continue Proprietor of GI relating to wines and spirits does not have to prove that incorrect use of the geographic origin is misleading as well. India has failed to introspect(आत मननर क षण) on its own domestic legislation. Important to highlight the shortcomings of the Indian GI Act. Against this backdrop, proof of origin is a mandatory criterion for registering GIs in India. This provision is borrowed from the EU s regulations on GI protection. Historic proof in the form of documentary evidence (gazetteers, documents, news articles, advertisement materials). Including such a provision in our law as there was no mandate under TRIPs to do so. Documentary evidence as proof of origin may be a foolproof mechanism to ensure the link between the product and territory Northeast where oral history has had far wider convention over written history, this provision will prove to be a formidable hurdle.

12 Conclusion Assam -One such example is a traditional rice wine called Judima which is made by Dimasa tribe of Dima Hasao, one of the autonomous hill districts. Difficulty in gathering documentary evidence as proof of origin. It is the same case with many other products from the Northeast Judima, word Ju stands for drink and Dima for Dimasas, but the absence of any documentary proof makes the case a difficult one to prove. What is rationality behind including and retaining such provisions in law? For most products, especially those of tribal communities India faced difficulties patent case involving turmeric when two scientists of the University of Mississippi Medical Centre, were granted U.S. patent for the use of turmeric in wound(घ व) healing.

13 Continue India Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), which opposed this, was asked by U.S. Patent and Trademark to submit documentary evidence of usage of turmeric for healing purposes in India in order to revoke patent CSIR was compelled to launch a project of translating ancient Sanskrit texts which were later produced as evidence, and accepted So, what happens in cases such where a written history is rare? The GI authorities should amend the existing provision.

14 A toolkit to think local A team of over 250 scientists and others from around 100 institutions who are part of the India State Level Disease Burden Initiative has analysed and described these trends for every State from 1990 to Its report was released by the Vice President of India Policymakers in India need reliable disease burden data at sub national levels Planning based on local trends can improve health of populations effectively.
