This book delves into the intricate relationship between intellectual property rights and traditional knowledge systems in Nigeria, offering a critical analysis of the existing legal framework. Arowolo meticulously examines how traditional knowledge is understood within the context of intellectual property law and argues for the need to develop a more inclusive legal framework that acknowledges and protects these indigenous practices.
Through a comprehensive review of jurisprudence and a discussion of various case studies, the author highlights the challenges faced by traditional knowledge holders in navigating the complexities of intellectual property rights. This work is essential for scholars, practitioners, and policymakers interested in the intersection of law, culture, and traditional practices, urging a rethink of legal strategies to better serve the cultural heritage of Nigeria.
