Which of the following statements on geographical indications is incorrect?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer B
Article 24(9) of TRIPS says there is no obligation to protect geographical indications which are not or cease to be protected in their country of origin, so no such duty exists. The other statements are true: section 2(1)(f) of the Indian Act defines goods to include agricultural, natural and manufactured goods; the USPTO states that geographical indications are protected through certification marks, collective marks and trademarks; and Article 23 of TRIPS gives additional protection for wines and spirits.
