Abstract

This chapter reflects on numerous protections that are available for indigenous knowledge from those who misappropriate it for personal aggrandizement without regard of the holders of the knowledge. The chapter is underpinned on the Afrocentricity and Sankofa theories. A socio-legal methodology was adopted to ground the work to enable students studying indigenous knowledge systems to have a foundation and be able to follow the interdisciplinarity in the writing. As such, a doctrinal approach and qualitative design were engaged to buttress the philosophical reasoning and capture the rich and unrecorded knowledge of inorganic intellectuals. The chapter's standpoint is that the protection of indigenous knowledge requires African-tailored legislation that resonates with indigenous communities' beliefs and are pragmatic yet innovative to bring benefit sharing. In pursuing this, a normative legal framework that could be utilised in the protection of indigenous knowledge is explored.
适者生存保护土著知识
这一章反映了许多保护土著知识的措施,这些保护措施不受那些不顾知识所有者而将其用于个人扩张的人的侵害。本章以非洲中心论和桑科法理论为基础。采用了社会法律方法来为工作奠定基础,使学习土著知识系统的学生有一个基础,并能够在写作中遵循跨学科。因此,理论方法和定性设计被用于支持哲学推理,并捕获无机知识分子丰富而未记录的知识。本章的观点是,保护土著知识需要为非洲量身定制的立法,这种立法应与土著社区的信仰产生共鸣,既务实又创新,以实现利益分享。在实现这一目标的过程中,探索了一个可用于保护土著知识的规范性法律框架。
