S. Dinesh, Dr. N. C. Patnaik

Abstract :

Intellectual Property is an offspring of human knowledge. Innovation is the natural instinct of human being, protection of such Innovation is the prime obligation of society. To recall Albert Einstein “Imagination is more important than knowledge, for knowledge is limited while imagination emaces the entire world. The preservation, protection, and promotion of the traditional knowledge, innovations, and practices are key importance for developing countries. Their rich endowment of Traditional Knowledge plays a critical role in their health care, food security, culture, religion, identity, environment, sustainable development, and trade. It is particularly crucial for the most vulnerable segments of their societies and for indigenous peoples worldwide. But this valuable asset is at risk in many parts of the world, with few or none of the benefits being shared with the original Traditional Knowledge holders, and without their prior informed consent.
