Indigenous Peoples' Innovation: Intellectual Property Pathways to Development - Paperback

by Peter Drahos (Editor), Susy Frankel (Editor)

Traditional knowledge systems are also innovation systems. This book analyses the relationship between intellectual property and indigenous innovation. The contributors come from different disciplinary backgrounds including law, ethnobotany and science. Drawing on examples from Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific Islands, each of the contributors explores the possibilities and limits of intellectual property when it comes to supporting innovation by indigenous people.
