The Department of Patents, Designs and Trademarks (DPDT) under the Industries Ministry has recognised the 'Tangail Saree' as a Geographical Indication (GI) product of the country.

Senior Secretary of the Industries Ministry Zakia Sultana on Wednesday disclosed it and said that a gazette notification will be issued on Thursday.

The DPDT recognises and certifies GI products under the Ministry of Industry in accordance with the norms of the International Property Rights Organization (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.
