Council for Scientific and Industrial Research India signed the Traditional Knowledge Digital Library Access Agreement with the Japan Patent Office on 20th April, 2011. This TKDL Access Agreement would help prevent misappropriation of India’s traditional knowledge at the Japan Patent Office. According to the PTI reports, the TKDL Access Agreement has in-built safeguards on non-disclosure to protect India’s interest against any possible misuse. Under the agreement, the patent examiners at International Patent Offices can utilize TKDL for patent search and examination purpose only and cannot reveal the content to any third party unless it is necessary for citation purpose.
