传统知识与知识产权-法搜-中国法律信息搜索网

　　五、结语
　　由于国际社会也是刚刚从总体上讨论传统知识的知识产权问题，许多方面的成果诸如本文予以梳理的什么是传统知识，为什么保护传统知识，怎样保护传统知识以及为谁保护传统知识等，还只是占主流的观点和少数国家的实践，并未得到WIPO所有成员国尤其是发达国家的支持和通过。因此在目前这种难以取得共识以致此项议题进展缓慢的情况下，发展中国家应首先积极行动起来。一方面，在国内立法的层面上，不断探索保护传统知识的切实有效的立法模式和实践方法；另一方面，加强国际间的合作与交流，争取早日达成保护传统知识的国际条约。我国作为在传统知识方面具有比较优势的发展中国家，应在上述进程中发挥积极和重要的作用。
