The purpose of this Roundtable is to discuss the best ways to protect Indigenous Knowledge. Indigenous Knowledge includes Indigenous products such as bush foods, medicine and craft products; Traditional Knowledge of plants and animals that may be used in new technologies; culturally significant words and images that may be used in trade marks and images, and Indigenous Knowledge that may be used in research. The Roundtable will be run by IP Australia, the Australian Government agency which administers the patents, trade marks, designs and plant breeder’s rights systems, and independently facilitated by Aboriginal policy advisory firm Inside Policy.
