The Department of Patents, Designs, and Trademarks (DPDT) under the Industries Ministry has recognized the "Tangail Saree" as a Geographical Indication (GI) product of the country.
Disclosing the matter, Senior Secretary of the Industries Ministry Zakia Sultana today (7 February) said a gazette notification will be issued tomorrow in this regard.
DPDT recognizes and certifies GI products under the Ministry of Industry by the norms of the International Property Rights Organisation (WIPO).
In 2013, the Geographical Indication Products (Registration and Protection) Act was enacted. In 2015, the DPDT called for the registration of GI products after the enactment of the law.
