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.

The advancement of information and communication technology has led
to a multi-dimensional impact in the arenas of law, regulation, and
governance. The laws, rules and regulations of the digital domain
remain a challenge with the transformation of technology. The
Constitution of many countries have declared data protection as a
fundamental right. Such a trend is evident not only by the current
reform of data protection law aimed at modernizing the global
regulatory framework but also by the judiciary in landmark
judgments. Furthermore, the legal domain must face many challenges
with the speed of technological innovations due to abject global
latitude, massive scale of content exchange and data collection,
and the relative secrecy issues of internet users. Thus, it is
essential to continue discussions involving policies and law that
regulate and monitor these activities and anticipate new laws that
should be implemented to protect users. This book will focus on the
complex relationships of technology and law, both in terms of
substantive legal responses to legal, social, and ethical issues
arising in connection with growing public engagement with
technology and the procedural impacts and transformative potential
of technology on traditional and emerging forms of dispute
resolution. This book will also provide a broader foundation upon
which academics and professionals in the fields could improve
current security activities and contribute to the protection of the
nation.
