Justification of Protecting Traditional Knowledge by Intellectual Property Law
Yan Chen · Journal of Hebei University of Economics and Trade · 2007
Traditional knowledge is one component of traditional tribe and the ingredient constituting the cultural diversity. China possesses rich resources of native culture and folklore, which, however, under the crushing impact of economic globalization and western culture, experiences rapid downfall and shrinkage. From the perspective of cultural diversity, which is one of the key conditions for its development, it is justified to introduce traditional knowledge into intellectual property system.
