The Geographical Indications of Goods (Registration and Protection) Act, 1999 — back to Table of Contents
Section 12. Withdrawal of acceptance
If, after accepting an application but before registration, the Registrar becomes satisfied that the acceptance was made in error, or that the geographical indication should not have been registered (or should be registered only with different or additional conditions), the Registrar may withdraw the acceptance after hearing the applicant if requested, and treat the application as though it had never been accepted.
