| description |
The note emphasizes the critical
importance of documenting indigenous knowledge in writing,
which can then be used to challenge a patent claim on
knowledge that is already in the public domain. It also
highlights the usefulness of other forms of intellectual
property rights, other than patents, such as geographical
indicators. These may be of more use to indigenous
communities seeking to regulate access over their resources,
as they can be applied to knowledge that evolves over time,
and with the input of the local community at large. This
leads us to the possibility of widening the Agreement on
Trade-Related Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS), to
ensure that patents disclose the origin of genetic
resources, and use of indigenous knowledge, and, consider
sui generis forms of intellectual property, such as
community based rights, to secure equitable benefit sharing. |
