Geographical Indications (or GI) are granted to identify products that bear a close association with the region or a specific geographical area, where they are found/originated/manufactured.

The protection is granted to the undertakings and establishments located in that particular area and may use the 'geographical indication' on the exclusive goods produced in such area. This allows the owners of GI to take prompt action against any potential or real violation of a registered Geographical Indication.

We have expertise in taking action against parties violating the registered Geographical Indications. We also provide legal advice against civil and criminal proceedings.

Our Attorneys handle Geographical Indication filings for agricultural products, industrial products, hand-crafted goods, food and other items of consumption.

On 8 October 2026, USA Today Co. and its affiliated newspaper companies, which publish 19 titles including USA Today, the Detroit Free Press and The Arizona Republic, sued seven OpenAI entities in the US District Court for the Southern District of New York. The complaint alleges that OpenAI copied their journalism to train its models, stripped identifying information from it, and now uses those models to give ChatGPT users summaries that substitute for the original reporting. The publishers seek more than USD 250 million in damages, an injunction and an order for the destruction of models and training sets containing their content.
