Introduction
Traditional knowledge comprises the knowledge, innovations and practices of indigenous
and local communities around the world developed from experiences gained over centuries,
and adapted to local culture and environments, which is transmitted orally from generation
to generation. It tends to be collectively owned and takes the form of stories, songs, folk lore,
proverbs, culture values, beliefs, rituals, community laws, local language and agricultural
practices.
Traditional knowledge is not so called because of its antiquity, it is a living body of knowledge
that is developed, sustained and passed on from generation to generation within a
community often forming part of its cultural loss or spiritual identity.
Over the passed decade traditional knowledge and its contribution in innovation
management has gained growing interest from the international community. More than
eleven UN and numerous other world renowned agencies have been dealing with traditional
knowledge and innovation management.
The United Nations System and indigenous organizations through ECOSCO, has made a
number of recommendations on traditional knowledge addressed to government and the
UN system.
In India, Government has set up the National innovation foundation to identify, recognize
and support innovations evolved from traditional knowledge. The Society for Research and
Initiative for Sustainable Technologies (SRIST) and Institutions and the Grassroots
Innovation Augmentation Network (GIAN) collectively documented hundreds of
contemporary innovations based on outstanding traditional knowledge.
Hence the key focus area today in the field of IP creation & management is effective
governance of traditional knowledge for contemporary innovations to foster a world class
environment for innovators across the nation to grow and sustain indigenously and compete
internationally.
