Indian cuisine and intellectual property law

Abstract

The article concerns the issue of protection of broadly understood Indian cuisine on the basis of intellectual property law. As a rule, the culinary is not covered by such protection because, contrary to the often used term “culinary art”, preparing dishes is not considered a creative activity. However, this does not discourage chefs or restaurateurs from looking for opportunities to ensure exclusivity of at least some elements of gastronomy. This problem also applies to Indian cuisine – one of the most popular and liked in the world. In the article, I present the possibilities of protection under Indian intellectual property regulations.
