Darjeeling Tea Growers' Cooperative asks where the particulars of registered authorised users of a geographical indication are recorded. Under the Geographical Indications of Goods (Registration and Protection) Act, 1999, the register is divided into two Parts. Which Part holds the particulars of registered authorised users?

The particulars relating to the registration of authorised users form Part B of the register. Part A is reserved for the particulars of registered geographical indications. The Act divides the register into only these two Parts.

  2. BPart B of the registerCorrect
  3. CPart C, kept only at branch offices
  4. DNeither Part, as authorised users are recorded in a separate annexure

Explanation

Section 7 divides the register into Part A and Part B. Part A holds the particulars of registered geographical indications, while Part B holds the particulars of registered authorised users. Placing users in Part A confuses the two Parts.
