English abstract

Traditional knowledge on biodiversity from India has been particularly vulnerable to patent claims and the Indian government and NGOs have made several biopiracy claims in recent years. India has taken various initiatives regarding the protection of traditional knowledge under intellectual property rights, including the Traditional Knowledge Digital Library (TKDL), which is a major step to curb biopiracy. The paper discusses various aspects of TKDL including its role in the preservation, protection and dissemination of traditional knowledge, searching facilities, benefits, and current status. The paper also tries to explore the Traditional Knowledge Resources Classification.
