At the outset, let me thank the Society of Krishi Vigyan (SKV) for giving me an excellent opportunity to serve the President of this renowned scientific association which was founded by Dr Manoj Sharma and his team during the zonal workshop of KVKs held at SKUAST, Srinagar during 2012. It is my pleasure to mention that the society is emerging as one of the fastest growing, most vibrant, and consisting of very energetic 565 life members belonging to different disciplines. As you know, it is a scientific society of individual scientists, academicians and institutions interested in agricultural and allied fields. Being a multi-disciplinary scientific society, its main objective is to advance the research and extension efforts in the field of agriculture, extension education, horticulture, plant protection, animal husbandry, fisheries, forestry and community science. The membership of the society is open to all professionals, academicians, students, scholars across globally, who are actively involved for the betterment of the scientific community. The SKV puts special efforts and emphasis on fostering the fundamental values of academic freedom, research & development, equitable access and opportunities for publishing research papers for having diverse opinion and freedom, ethics and integrity at all levels. The SKV is also publishing one Journal namely JOURNAL OF KRISHI VIGYAN with a NAAS rating of 4.55 w.e.f. 1.1.2021. I am pleased to invite you in the capacity of individual scholar, group of researchers, institutes and organizations to take an active part in the coming events and activities of the SKV including publishing of your valuable scholarly research outcomes through our peer reviewed Journal.

ABSTRACT Man’s quest for knowledge coupled with the tendency to improvise leads to innovation. The products of innovation and creativity of the intellect are things of great utility and beauty. They may be an invention, design, process, a poem, a painting, a film, a novel etc. The creator of these are provided legal rights by the Government. These rights, known as Intellectual Property Rights are provided in order to encourage new inventions and creative works that benefit society and alsoto help innovators and creators make a living from their work. The property, termed Intellectual Property is a product of the Intellect and is considered to be created when an innovative idea takes some tangible form. Intellectual property can be protected in the form of Patents – of new and improved products and processes. It is an exclusive right granted by the government to an inventor over his invention. The grantee has for a limited period, the right to exclude others from making, using or selling the invention without his consent. Trademarks - of brand identity of goods and services Geographical Indications- (GI) It is a sign used on products that have a specific geographical origin and possess qualities or a reputation that are due to that origin. Industrial Design—of whole or part of a product or its ornamentation Layout (Topographic)- of integrated circuits Plant Variety Protection - of new varieties developed Copyright – for material, literary, artistic, software, multimedia The Intellectual Property Laws confer exclusive property rights in relation to the particular form or manner in which the benefits of the intellectual property may be utilized. India’s Companies Act 2013 introduced the provision of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) which has come into effect from 1 April 2014. It is expected that this will boost the much needed social projects with professional management. India is a rich store house of indigenous societal traditional knowledge. According to World Intellectual Property Office Intergovernmental Committee (WIPO - IGC), Traditional knowledge (TK) is “ indigenous knowledge relating to categories such as agricultural knowledge and expressions of folklore in the form of music, dance, song, handicraft, designs, stories and artwork which have generally been transmitted from generation to generation; are generally regarded as pertaining to particular people or their territory and are constantly evolving in response to a change in environment”. The know-how, skills and practices that are developed, sustained and passed on from generation to generation within a community, form part of its cultural or spiritual identity. Conservation and sustainable use of biological resources based on indigenous knowledge is a way of life in India. This traditional knowledge encompassing diverse areas is described as a dormant gold mine in this era of knowledge economy. The traditional knowledge serves the health needs of 80% of the population in developing countries. In developed countries also there is an increasing demand for natural remedies and supplements as green has become an important watchword. Traditional knowledge is in high demand in the medicine, scientific and agriculture industry. Conservation is imperative, as loss of biodiversity and associated traditional knowledge will deprive the world of a reliable knowledge base. The traditional knowledge need to be capitalised upon to benefit society and at the same time prevent biopiracy. Once traditional knowledge is documented it assumes the status of prior art and therefore cannot be patented. Taking up ofprojects to record and document this vast knowledge and assign suitable intellectual property protection is important. As traditional knowledge is about collective ownership, so Copyright protection and geographical indication are two of the most pertinent ways in which community intellectual property can be protected and then exploited for the benefit of the stake holders. Also important are follow-up strategy for establishing industry based on the traditional knowledge with benefit sharing to the community in recognition of their intellectual contribution to the product. Therefore, the IP issues regarding traditional knowledge break down into two key themes: Defensive protection - to ensure that third parties do not gain illegitimate or unfounded IP rights over TK. Positive protection - Active exploitation of TK by the originating community itself, and maintaining the socio economic harmony. Due to the high demand of some traditional products, both in developing and developed countries, it is reported that many products are produced in an unorganised way. The viability of the corporate sector with their flair for competency and commercial riguer stepping in, in all facets of conservation and positive utilisation of Traditional Knowledge right from documentation to production as part of their CSR is discussed.
