Kerala government envisages policy to give IPR to traditional knowledge
The Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) Policy, 2008 introduced in the Kerala Assembly by the State government targets the protection of traditional knowledge (TK) and biodiversity, which has been inappropriately used by companies in absence of legal property right.
The policy proposes to commit all traditional knowledge, including medicines under “knowledge commons’’ and not to the “public domain’’. Knowledge has been categorised into two. One, the preserve of particular communities, especially tribal, institutions or families down the ages and second the knowledge whose practice sustains the livelihood of many. For example, Kottakkal ayurvedic massage belongs to the first category and practice of ayurvedic medicine by many practitioners belongs to the second. For the first category, the family, community custodian will have rights over the knowledge.
