HOW GI REGISTRATION HELP REG. PROPRIETOR?-
BOOST SALE OF GENUINE GI PRODUCT- REGISTRATION
HELPS IN GETTING SPOT INJUNCTION AGAINST PIRAT
E- HIGEHR DEMAND FOR REALGI PRODUCTS LEADS TO
HIGHER SALE- CONTROL OVER INSPECTION STRUCTURE-
DOMINATE THE RULES OF THE GAME (TRADE) - LAY
DOWN BYE LAWS. EXCLUDE OR INLCUDE AREA OR
VILLAGES (REGULATE TRADE IN THAT FIELD
INDIRECTLY)
51
- OVER TIME THE ASSOCIATION WILL BECOME THE VOICE
OF THAT GI- EXAMPLE OF MANGO, BIKANER, BHUJIA-
DEVELOP CORPORATE VISION- LANDLORDS , NGOS,
MPs, INDUST RIALISTS, STATUTORY BODIES WILL
TAKE INITIATIVE
52
HOW REGISTRATION HELPS PRODUCERS WHO JOIN AS
AUTHORISED USER?- CAN USE EXPRESSION RGI-
INDICATES PRODUCT IS GENUINE- HIGHER PRICE AND
MORE PROFIT- IT IS INTEREST OF ALL PRODUCERS TO
JOIN AS AUTHORISED USER
53
PROMOTES COTTAGE INDUSTRYHELP IN GETTING
CREDIT AND BANK LOAN- ASSIGNMENT OF AUTHORISED
USER CERTIFICATE- QUALITY REGULATED BY
INSPECTION STRUCTURE
54
HOW GI APPLICATION PROCESSING IS HELPFUL TO
LEGAL PRACTITIONERS- BRINGS TOGETHER PRODUCERS,
PROMOTE ASSOCIATION OF PERSONS TO FILE
APPLICATION DRAFTING OF SPECIFICATION (QUALI
TY)- TENDERING AFFIDAVIT ( FEE FOR SECURING
REGISTRATION)
55
ASSISTING SUBSEQUENT PRODUCERS TO JOINING AS
AUTHORISED USER - (THOUSANDS AND MILLIONS) -
TAKING CIVIL AND CRIMINAL ACTION FOR
INFRINGEMENT- PREPARE LEGAL DRAFT FOR INSPECTION
STRUCTURE- COMMUNITY SERVICE- LEADS TO
EMPOWERMENT OF PRODUCERSRECOGNISATION BY STATE.

BROAD CONCLUSIONS- GI PROTECTS A PRODUCTS
REPUTATION, AN ASSOCIATED EXPRESSION AND AN
EMBEDDED KNOWLEDGE- DIFFICULTIES LIES IN
DOCUMENTATIONPREMIUM PRICE BASED ON CONSUMER
CONFIDENCE AS TO ORIGINALITY OR PERCEIVED
AUTHENTICITY OR SOME SPECIAL PHYSICAL ATTRIBUTES
57
WITH GI PROTECTION FOR THOUSAND OF INDIAN
PRODUCT THE COUNTRY CAN BECOME INVINCIBLE AND BE
BREADBASKET FOR THE GLOBE.- WITHOUT PROPER GI
PROTECTION PRODUCERS BECOME VULNERABLE- WITHIN A
GENERATION SLEEPING GIANT CALLED INDIA WILL
CHANGE FACE OF GLOBAL POWER POLITICS- IN FOR
HEADY, EXHILARATING AND EXICITING TIMES.
58
WE ARE MOVING TOWARDS A BORDERLESS WORLD- THE
REFORM PROCESS HAS IMPACTED WHAT PREVIOUSLY WAS
A HIGHLY OVER-REGULATED CLOSED ECONOMY.- GI CAN
SERVE AS WEALTH CREATOR FIRST WITHIN THE
SUB-CONTINENT AND LATER GLOBALLY.
59
GI STARTED AS AN INSTRUMENT TO PROTECT
WINES AND SPIRIT- BUT WE SHOULD USE THIS
INSTRUMENT TO PROMOTE INDIAN GI PRODUCT- MY
MESSAGE - OUR COUNTRY SHOULD BE TORCHBEARER FOR
PROMOTING REGIONAL GI GLOBALLY.
60
RIGHT CONFERRED BY REGISTRATION- TO REGISTERED
PROPRIETOR- TO AUTHORISED USER
