Answer and explanation
Correct answer D
Section 24(1) of the Geographical Indications of Goods (Registration and Protection) Act, 1999 provides that a geographical indication "shall not be the subject matter of assignment, transmission, licensing, pledge, mortgage" or any similar agreement, because it belongs collectively to the producers of a region.
Copyright, patents and trade marks are all assignable under their own Acts (section 18 of the Copyright Act, 1957, section 68 of the Patents Act, 1970 and section 38 of the Trade Marks Act, 1999).
