Hyderabadi Haleem to get patent soon Hyderabadi Haleem to get patent soon

Hyderabadi haleem, a popular meat stew of Hyderabad, is likely to get a patent soon. Once the proposal for the Geographical Indication (GI) tag is cleared, no other city can make or market the dish as Hyderabadi Haleem. The Haleem Makers Association of Hyderabad has applied for a patent with the Geographical Indicator Registry of India. Like Hydrabadi Biryani, Haleem is also unique and is not made anywhere else. And a patent will help in retaining its identity, said Mohammed Abdul Majeed, President, Haleem Makers Association of Hyderabad and owner of Pista House, a popular destination for Haleem lovers.



The patent application has been filed by the Adhikari IP Consultants on behalf of the Haleem Makers Association. "We hope that Hyderabadi Haleem will be granted the GI tag before the Ramzan season ends. Once it is granted, no other city will be able to make or market the delicacy as Hyderabadi Haleem," Patent Manager and Intellectual Property Consultant S Ravi said.


Currently, the Association has only 15 members but many more are expected to join soon as there are thousands of restaurants and eateries that prepare and sell Haleem. Pista House has tied up with Gatti Ltd, a cargo delivery and supply chain management company, for delivery of the dish to all major cities in the country
