The person who made the invention is called patent owner. The patent owner can decide upon the usage of the product and who should use the product.

Geographical Indications: Certain products or goods have a specific geographical origin and possess characteristics that attribute to the place of origin. Such goods and products bear the name of the geographical origin. This is called geographical indication. (Example: Darjeeling tea, Tirupathi laddu, etc.)
