Over a period of roughly twenty years, the challenge of how to prevent the unauthorized use of indigenous knowledge has become a problem perceived to be best solved by and managed through an intellectual property regime. This book offers a socio-legal study of the emergence of indigenous interests in intellectual property law. It examines the way indigenous knowledge has become a category of intellectual property law and consequently how legal processes have been involved in governing very specific conceptions of indigenous knowledge. The book goes on to explore the range of competing political interests that have influenced how law has dealt with the issue, how governments understand the problem and how Indigenous expectations for legal remedy have been constructed.

Industry Reviews

'This book is an interesting addition to the increasingly interdisciplinary work at the interface of IK and IP law. It is a well-researched and well written book that would be resourceful for scholars and researchers from diverse disciplinary backgrounds that straddle the subject of the book, especially those that focus on the Australian context.' -- Chidi Oguamanam, Script-ed
'Combining unique practical experience with a sophisticated historical and theoretical framework, this impressive work offers a new basis to explore indigenous intellectual property. In this wide-ranging and imaginative study, Anderson has laid the groundwork for future scholarship in the field. Hopefully this work will set a new trajectory for how this important topic is approached and advanced with indigenous people.' -- Brad Sherman, University of Queensland, Australia
