Pakistan had granted a trade mark (TM) to the basmati Growers Association (BGA), providing it with exclusivity, even as India and Pakistan had earlier agreed to jointly bid for a GI for basmati. The Registrar of Trade Mark, Karachi, while granting the TM on BGA, has set aside the opposition of Apeda through its legal council. Apeda had offered to jointly register basmati under GI along with the Rice Exporters’ Association of Pakistan, which was rejected by Pakistan government.
