Abstract
The objective of this study was to analyse the effectiveness and discrepancies of the Geographical Indications (“GI”) Act, 1999. The sterling impression of GI protection will be established by the products that have already been registered. The authors have selected Bell Metal Ware of Datia and Tikamgarh (“Bell Metal”), which got recognition as GI in 2008. Data was personally collected by the authors from producers of Bell Metal in Tikamgarh Town, Madhya Pradesh, and interviewed by using a questionnaire. The results indicate that almost all the producers know about GI tags but are not aware of their utility and exclusive economic rights. The study further identifies the problems and states some practical solutions for the sustainability of Bell Metal, which, if generalized, can be applied to other products also.
