Abstract

Over the past three years, the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) has unexpectedly become a major arena for the international discussion about traditional knowledge and its protection. Several years ago, developing country members started to raise questions at WIPO about the increasing use of intellectual property rights (IPRs) to appropriate both genetic resources (biopiracy) and related traditional knowledge – just like they had already done in other international organizations such as the Convention on Biological diversity (CBD), the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and the World Trade Organization (WTO).
