Abstract:

This article discusses the issues in intellectual property protection for
traditional knowledge. After discussing the definitional issues in
traditional knowledge, it examines the current global debates on this issue.
It identifies some solutions and provides an analysis of the solutions. It
then highlights the north-south divide in this issue and the predicament of
the south in finding an acceptable solution. It ends with some suggestions
for arriving at a solution and argues that there is a need to go beyond
intellectual property rights to resolve this issue.
