Traditional knowledge refers to the knowledge, innovations, and practices of indigenous and local communities developed over generations through experience and adaptation to the local culture and environment. It is an integral part of the cultural identity of communities and is often transmitted orally from one generation to another. In the Indian context, traditional knowledge encompasses diverse fields such as agriculture, medicine, biodiversity conservation, folklore, handicrafts, and ecological practices. This knowledge is usually collectively owned rather than individually held, which makes its protection under conventional intellectual property systems complex. Under Indian patent law, particularly the Indian Patent Act, 1970, traditional knowledge is not considered patentable subject matter. Section 3(p) of the Act explicitly excludes inventions which are essentially traditional knowledge or aggregation or duplication of known properties of traditionally known components from patentability. This provision is crucial in preventing the misappropriation or “biopiracy” of traditional knowledge by individuals or corporations who attempt to patent such knowledge without authorization or benefit-sharing with the original knowledge holders. Traditional knowledge has gained international attention due to several controversial cases where patents were granted for inventions based on existing traditional knowledge. For instance, patents granted on turmeric for its wound healing properties and neem for its pesticidal properties highlighted the inadequacy of patent systems in recognizing prior art that exists in non-documented or non-written forms. These incidents prompted India to take proactive measures to safeguard its traditional knowledge. One of the most significant initiatives undertaken by India is the creation of the Traditional Knowledge Digital Library (TKDL). The TKDL is a database that documents traditional medicinal knowledge available in ancient texts such as Ayurveda, Unani, Siddha, and Yoga. It translates and organizes this knowledge in multiple international languages and formats accessible to patent examiners worldwide. By doing so, it serves as a defensive protection mechanism, ensuring that patent offices can identify prior art and reject wrongful patent applications based on traditional knowledge. In Indian patent procedures, when an application is filed, the patent examiner conducts a prior art search to determine novelty and inventive
