Hyderabadi Haleem now close to being patented
September 2, 2010
Hyderabad: Hyderabad is famous for the Charminar, Salarjung Museum, Biryani and IT companies -- and the Hyderabadi Haleem is now all set to join the vaunted list.
The famous and nutritious dish available during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan will soon get the Hyderabadi tag akin to Darjeeling Tea, Banarasi Silk and Tirupati Laddu.
Once the Geographical Indicator (GI) tag is granted, Haleem makers outside Hyderabad will not be able to sell their product as Hyderabadi Haleem and even those within the city can claim the GI tag only if they meet the quality standards.
"We are hopeful of getting the GI tag before the end of this Ramadan as we have qualified for the same," said S Ravi, patent manager and Intellectual Property consultant of Adhikari IP Consultants.
According to Ravi, who filed the application on behalf of the Haleem Makers' Association of Hyderabad, the GI Registry of India office in Chennai carried an advertisement in its journal calling for objections, if any.
"Since no objections were filed during the given time which ended August 29 we have qualified for the GI tag," said Ravi.
The GI tag is granted under GI Act 1999 to protect traditional products. It is different from trade mark which is granted to individual companies.
The consultant said the members of Haleem Makers' Association or any other Haleem maker in Hyderabad can claim GI tag only if they fulfill the quality requirements.
