India IP SME Helpdesk team just published two brand-new materials “Data Protection: The Regime in India” and “Guide to Geographical Indication Protection in India”.
Data protection involves safeguarding sensitive information from being lost, altered, or corrupted. It is crucial for preventing fraud, identity theft, phishing, and unauthorized access to private information by hackers or other malicious entities. This factsheet provides insights into the important aspects of data protection as well as the legal regime in India.
Geographical Indications (GIs) offer numerous advantages to both producers and consumers, as they foster economic, cultural, and environmental benefits, and further inspire trust among consumers:
- Economic and financial benefits
- Rural development and employment
- Protection of cultural and traditional practices
- Encourage sustainable practices
Our new guide outlines the key aspects of geographical indications and details the legal frameworks at the international level, within the EU, and in India. It also highlights the registration process as well as protection and enforcement mechanisms.
