讲座简介：

党的十九大报告明确指出，发展是解决我国一切问题的基础和关键，坚定不移贯彻创新发展理念是确保科学发展的关键之一。实践证明，传统知识是现代创新的重要源泉。同时，此种创新活动需要以法治的形式加以规范引导，以确保公平正义及可持续发展目标的实现。现有知识产权、非物质文化遗产以及数据库等传统知识法律保护途径，各有利弊。尝试针对传统知识自身特点，创建专门保护法律制度，是当下传统知识法律保护的有益探索。

President XI Jinping delivered the report at the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China and pointed out that “Development is the underpinning and the key for solving all our country’s problems; our development must be sound development. We must pursue with firmness of purpose the vision of innovative, coordinated, green, and open development that is for everyone”. Practice has proved that traditional knowledge (TK) is a critical resource of innovation and innovative actions need to be ruled by law for the sake of fairness and justice and the aim of sustainable development. The existing systems, IPRs, ICH and data base etc., cut both ways. Establishing specialized legal system to protect TK maybe is a helpful exploration.
