Traditional knowledge is largely oral collective of knowledge,
beliefs, and practices of indigenous people on sustainable use and
management of resources. The survival of this knowledge is at risk
due to various difficulties faced by the holders of this knowledge,
the threat to the cultural survival of many communities, and the
international lack of respect and appreciation of traditional
knowledge. However, the greatest threat is that of appropriation by
commercial entities in derogation of the rights of the original
holders. Though this practice is morally questionable, in the
absence of specific legal provisions, it cannot be regarded as a
crime. Intellectual Property Rights and the Protection of
Traditional Knowledge is a collection of innovative research on
methods for protecting indigenous knowledge including studies on
intellectual property rights and sovereignty rights. It also
analyzes the contrasting interests of developing and developed
countries in the protection of traditional knowledge as an asset.
While highlighting topics including biopiracy, dispute resolution,
and patent law, this book is ideally designed for legal experts,
students, industry professionals, and practitioners seeking current
research on the development and enforcement of intellectual
property rights in relation to traditional knowledge.
