Accordingly, one of the key concerns of these communities is to retain control over the manner in which the knowledge is used so as to ensure that its sanctity is preserved. While much of the literature on the protection of traditional knowledge revolves around defensive protection, some commentators have argued for positive protection using patent law by recognizing the entire community as inventors and vesting property rights in perpetuity with the community as a whole. This paper observes that such positive protection through patents is consistent with the TRIPS Agreement and is likely to be successful in combating biopiracy but suffers from one crucial flaw—even if the community owns patent rights over a biogenetic resource, the community has no means to ensure that a potential licensee of the patent would adhere to the religious protocols of the community. Accordingly, it argues for the incorporation of collective moral rights rooted in indigenous law into the legal framework governing the licensing of traditional knowledge patent with a view to ensuring that indigenous communities can preserve their cultural heritage even after such community patents are licensed. 000049050 588__ $$aCrossref 000049050 590__ $$aPublished online: 18-Apr-23 000049050 650_0 $$aPatents. 000049050 650_0 $$aTrade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property (TRIPS) 000049050 650_4 $$aIntellectual property 000049050 650_0 $$aTraditional knowledge. 000049050 650_0 $$aIntellectual property. 000049050 7001_ $$aBhaduri, Anik,$$eauthor. 000049050 7731_ $$tJournal of World Intellectual Property$$wJWIP 000049050 830_0 $$aJournal Of World Intellectual Property,$$x1747-1796 ;$$v26, 3, 2023 000049050 85641 $$uhttps://doi.org/10.1111/jwip.12279$$yOnline version 000049050 904__ $$aArticle 000049050 980__ $$aJWIP
