<br/><br/> The recently adopted World Intellectual Property Organization Treaty on Intellectual Property, Genetic Resources and Associated Traditional Knowledge has been hailed for achieving the best possible compromise between the interests of the global South and North. It brings into force for the first time an international obligation mandating disclosure of the genetic resources and/or associated traditional knowledge used in a patent application. Weaknesses in the treaty may undermine the gains of other treaties while having a detrimental effect on the domestic efforts of countries, like India, which have worked hard to incorporate justice and equity in the intellectual property regime. – Reproduced <br/><br/>https://www.epw.in/journal/commentary/half-victory-global-south.html<br/>
