Its capacity to safeguard traditional knowledge and traditional cultural expressions under the current intellectual property law regime is examined in this research paper, with particular emphasis on geographical indications (GI). Additionally, it emphasizes how GI must be registered in accordance with Indian GI legislation, paying particular attention to ancestor knowledge. The limitations of GI protection with regard to safeguarding traditional knowledge/traditional cultural expressions as a whole are also highlighted in the paper. The current legal system has made it difficult to protect traditional information, and this restriction has irreparably harmed this knowledge base. There have been attempts to conserve and safeguard traditional knowledge through IPR, however this strategy has had very little success. A unique strategy for safeguarding traditional knowledge has emerged as a result of TRIPS's lack of comprehensive protection of traditional knowledge. A number of issues with the proposed Protection of Traditional Knowledge Bill 2022 could be raised, including the lack of synergy between protecting IPR and the notion that GI could be used as a method of protecting traditional knowledge. The indigenous and tribal peoples are encouraged to investigate the limited avenues of GI protection for their ancestor knowledge by reading this research paper, which lists some of the traditional knowledge that has been protected under the GI Act in India. It also helps lawmakers revisit several elements of the 2022 Protection of the Traditional Knowledge Bill.
