Govt to apply for feni patent PANJIM, Mar 11: The State may soon have exclusive right for distilling cashew feni if government succeeds in its attempt to get 'patent' for this special brew. indications are that shortly, the government will apply for patent for feni. (H) ........................... The Goa government has set up a Advisory Committee to prepare a case for "Geographical Indications" to feni on the lines of Tequila for Guadalajra province of Mexico, Scotch for the Scottish highlands and Champagne for Southern France.
G.I. is different from 'patent' in that it is available to all producers who meet the standards in a particular region. G.I. is not given to an individual or company. It is given to a region or country. Viva Goa . Say it with feni. Miguel
