Traditional knowledge is a unique set of skills, practices, and innovations that indigenous and local communities develop, sustain, and pass on from generation to generation. Examples include traditional medical knowledge, sustainable irrigation, or hunting or fishing techniques.
But these traditional forms of creativity and innovation are not always protected by the conventional intellectual property system. This short animation tells the story of the Yakuanoi - a fictitious indigenous people - as they navigate through the key issues regarding intellectual property and traditional knowledge.
