Abstract
This panel discusses the intellectual property rights of indigenous
and traditional knowledge (IK) as currently billed by relevant
international bodies and organisations. We focus on their
relevance to communities in Sub-Saharan Africa as may be seen
by researchers in IK as well as the communities under
investigation. We highlight a few approaches from experts and
indigenous people that should be considered in the bourgeoning of
global research and public exposure of IK value
