A Geographical Indication is among the most distinctive and culturally significant forms of intellectual property a community can hold. It identifies a product as originating from a specific region, where a particular quality, reputation, or characteristic is attributable to that geographic origin. Protecting that indication rigorously and strategically requires expert legal counsel from filing through to active enforcement.
Vohra & Vohra offers comprehensive geographical indication services to producer groups, industry associations, and authorised users of every scale — from regional cooperatives registering their first GI to established bodies managing enforcement across multiple jurisdictions. Every strategy is aligned with the client's commercial and cultural reality.
Vohra & Vohra provides strategic GI advisory and lifecycle protection services that help producer groups, associations, and authorised users secure, manage, enforce, and expand the value of their geographical indications with confidence.

In India, a GI application can be filed by any association of persons, producers, or any organisation or authority established by or under any law representing the interests of the producers of the concerned goods.
An authorised user is a producer of goods covered by a registered GI who is enrolled to use that indication. Registration as an authorised user provides exclusive rights to use the GI in relation to the specified goods and legal standing to take enforcement action.
Yes. Vohra & Vohra represents clients in proceedings against unauthorised use, false GI indications, passing-off actions, and civil enforcement matters to protect the integrity and commercial value of registered geographical indications.
