A person applies to the Registrar under section 27 of the GI Act, 1999 to rectify the register in respect of a registered geographical indication that has hundreds of authorised users. Under rule 65 of the GI Rules, 2002, how are the authorised users to be informed?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer A

Rule 65 requires that where there are authorised users the application be "accompanied by as many copies thereof as there are authorised users on the register or alternatively furnish proof of publication in leading national newspapers" circulated widely in the territory. This practical option reflects the large number of users a geographical indication may have. Section 68 of the Act also makes every authorised user a party to such proceedings.
