Abstract
Geographical Indication (GI) is an intellectual property (IP) tool that aids in establishing a link between the product, its place of origin and maintaining multi -functionality between rural areas and market place along with conservation of traditional knowledge. The GI act prevents third party intervention and market exploitation of the natural resources and their by-products. Strict enforcement of laws and increase in awareness among producers is needed so that the producers confer the real benefit rather than it being garnered by other intermediaries. In this paper, we intend to document the registered GIs (excluding advertised GIs) from horticulture in India till May, 2021 with emphasis on their year and characteristics. Furthermore, it also focuses on the botanical details of the GI product including its botanical name, family, number of cotyledons, and parts used.
