One of the finest muslin textile fabrics produced in Bangladesh, Jamdani is going to get the country’s first Geographical Indication (GI) registration this month. This was revealed by Mosharraf Hossain Bhuiyan, senior secretary in the industry ministry, while addressing the annual meeting of the World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO) in Geneva. The GI registration tag will be given by the Department of Patents, Designs and Trademarks under the industry ministry to the Jamdani fabric. In his address, Bhuiyan said Bangladesh offers high importance to preserving intellectual property rights, for which the country has already formulated laws to provide GI products registration.
