Final Recommendations of the 8th Session of the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues

Completing a two week international conference, the 8th UN meeting on indigenous issues has closed with a controversial proposal that would require all patent offices to create a binding consultative mechanism for indigenous and local communities as part of a mandatory Disclosure of Origin (DOO) process prior to issuance of any patents related to traditional knowledge. The inherent difficulty of this process can only be exacerbated by the lack of international consensus on the meaning of the term "traditional knowledge," or TK, and the lack of agreement on the requisite relationship between a given patent application and the TK itself. Further, the prevalence of TK commonly held by overlapping and different communities within the same state or across borders would create ever greater uncertainty for patent applicants.
