The distribution of benefits derived from the utilisation of traditional knowledge is one of the most controversial IP topics. The lack of agreement between provider and user countries is mainly found on how benefit-sharing obligations and the patent system interact. The proposed discussion on the subject will focus on the way in which cultural hierarchies influence global intellectual property standards.
