Protection Of Traditional Knowledge As Communal Intellectual Property In Improving Aceh's Economy
Keywords:
Protection, Traditional Knowledge, Economy, AcehAbstract
Traditional knowledge is one of the communal intellectual property owned by the Acehnese people. Article 8(j) of the CBD has emphasized the recognition of knowledge, innovations, and practices of indigenous peoples and local communities related to the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity. Then in the Nagoya Protocol, it is emphasized on the protection of traditional knowledge through access and benefit sharing. Indonesia has ratified both agreements in protecting traditional knowledge as communal intellectual property. The IGC GRTKF Agreement in May 2024 in Geneva sets out clearer guidelines on the commercialization of traditional knowledge must be shared with the community of origin, either in the form of royalties, profit sharing, or other forms. WIPO also introduced a traditional knowledge registration system to assist communities in documenting and protecting their knowledge. Indonesia has ratified Government Regulation Number 56 of 2022 concerning the Registration of Communal Intellectual Property. This article examines the importance of protecting traditional knowledge as part of communal intellectual property in improving the economy of Aceh. This research is an empirical legal research using primary and secondary data. The results of this study indicate that Aceh has great potential for traditional knowledge that supports the regional economy. In terms of regulation, Indonesia already has sufficient rules in order to protect traditional knowledge of the community. The use of traditional knowledge of the community must share benefits with the community. Data collection and registration of traditional knowledge can also be a comparative document in patent registration applications. However, this opportunity has not been utilized optimally. Aceh has not conducted data collection and registration of traditional knowledge as a form of legal protection of traditional knowledge. This means that by not conducting data collection and registration of traditional knowledge of the Aceh community, it can eliminate opportunities to improve the regional economy.
