For Linkedin Presentation For Mq Ph D Seminar November2004

1. The document presents a Ph.D. candidate's seminar on how intellectual property law does not adequately recognize or protect the intangible rights of indigenous peoples relating to traditional knowledge. 2. The candidate challenges the assumption that indigenous discoveries cannot be patented by arguing discoveries are often built upon prior knowledge, as illustrated by Isaac Newton standing on the shoulders of giants. 3. The candidate puts forth a hypothesis called "IP1 + IP2 = benefit-sharing," arguing for reinterpreting novelty and co-inventorship requirements to protect indigenous intangible rights and enable benefit-sharing schemes.
