Indigenous Knowledge
Author: Suman Sahai, Ujjwal Kumar, Waquar Ahmed
Price: Rs. 150 only (for India)

At a time when there is aggressive promotion of
intellectual property rights for inventions in
laboratories and research stations, it is essential to
establish that rural and tribal communities have generated
intellectual properties over generations, especially in
the field of bio-resources. This intellectual property has
to be treated on par with other forms of intellectual
property. Gene Campaign, whose decade-long endeavour has
focused on bio-resources and the rights of farming and
tribal communities, is now working towards the recognition
of indigenous knowledge and its protection. This
publication is the outcome of brainstorming sessions
conducted by Gene Campaign, involving different
stakeholders. It deals with the key issues related to IK,
such as its recognition, protection and commercialization,
and highlights the concerns of developing countries.
