National Law University and Judicial Academy, Assam is a National Law University located in Guwahati, Assam, India. It was established in 2009 through an Act passed by the State Legislature of Assam as a public university dedicated to the field of legal education.
Concept Note
Traditional Knowledge (TK) is defined by WIPO as knowledge, know-how, skills and practises which are developed, sustained and then passed on from one generation to the other. It includes tradition-based literary, artistic or scientific works; performances; designs; marks, names and symbols; undisclosed information; and other kinds of tradition-based innovations and creations which results from the intellectual activity in the industrial, scientific, literary or artistic fields.
Around the world, communities have developed a wide variety of TK. TK plays an important role in the sustainable use of local resources and biodiversity conservation. However, there are many threats to TK today, one of the biggest being bio-piracy. There are deliberations on the intellectual property rights (IPR) regime offering aids in the protection of TK. Though some claim that the IPR system does not provide solutions to the major challenges that are faced by the communities who are repositories of TK, there are still many who believe that the IPR regime can offer certain tools which can be used somehow to protect, promote or prevent the misappropriation of such traditional forms of innovation and creativity.
Geographical indications (GI) on the other hand is a very unique IPR. Unlike most IPRs, GI is community-owned. GI can be defined as an indication, sign, name which is used on products to indicate that it originates from a particular location or territory. GI signifies that the product possesses certain characteristics, quality or reputation due to its geographical origin. If properly marketed, GI products can fetch premium prices, thereby, improving the socio-economic condition of the producers of such products.
Interestingly, many of the agricultural, foodstuff, handicraft items etc. that come within TK have the potential to be GI. GI cannot provide a defensive mechanism to protect these TK but can help the communities to improve the economic condition of the people by fetching premium prices.
The aim of the book is to highlight various unique TK/TCEs and GIs of communities in India and particularly in the North-eastern region of India. The book also intends to highlight the unethical exploitation of such TK/TCEs and GIs. The book also seeks to explore the possibility of providing recognition and protection of TK/TCEs and GIs under the IPR Regime.
Broad Themes of the Book
1. Need for protection of traditional knowledge: National and International Perspectives 2. Bio-piracy and Bioprospecting/ Access and Benefit Sharing 3. Traditional Knowledge and Designs 4.

Traditional Knowledge and Plant Varieties 8. International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture and TK 9. Patent and defensive protection of TK 10. Traditional Knowledge, Biodiversity and Genetic Resources in Developing Countries: Issues of Piracy & Protection 11. The Role of IP in Promoting and Commercializing Products based on TK/TCEs and GIs 12. Gaps within the IP system that might need to be filled in to ensure the effective protection of TK and TCEs 13. Intellectual property and the documentation of TK and TCEs 14. Role of TKDL in protection of TK 15. Participation by indigenous and local community in protecting TK/TCEs and GIs 16. Scope of TK as GI 17. Challenges of TK based products in GI registration 18. Commercialization Strategies for GIs 19. GIs and Trade 20. GIs and Sustainability 21. Challenges in GI Registration 22.
