What is the term for Protection of Geographical Indication ?
Answer: B
Protection lasts ten years but may be renewed from time to time for an unlimited period.
Under Section 18 of the Geographical Indications of Goods (Registration and Protection) Act, 1999, a registration is valid for ten years and may be renewed for further periods of ten years each, on payment of the renewal fee, with no limit on the number of renewals. A geographical indication can therefore be protected indefinitely.
The initial term is not twenty years, and renewal is not limited to one further ten-year period or tied to proof of continuing characteristics.
