Indigenous Heritage and Intellectual Property

Genetic Resources, Traditional Knowledge and Folklore

By: Silke von Lewinski

For indigenous cultures, property is an alien concept. Yet the market-driven industries of the developed world do not hesitate to exploit indigenous raw materials, from melodies to plants, using intellectual property law to justify their behaviour. Existing intellectual property law, for the most part, allows industries to use indigenous knowledge and resources without asking for consent and without sharing the benefits of such exploitation with the indigenous people themselves. It should surprise nobody that indigenous people object. Recognizing that the commercial exploitation of indigenous knowledge and resources takes place in the midst of a genuine and significant clash of cultures, the eight contributors to this important book explore ways in which intellectual property law can expand to accommodate the interests of indigenous people to their traditional knowledge, genetic resources, indigenous names and designations, and folklore. In so doing they touch upon such fundamental issues and concepts as the following: collective rights to the living heritage; relevant human rights norms; benefit-sharing in biological resources; farmers rights; the practical needs of documentation, assistance, and advice; the role of customary law; bioprospecting and biopiracy; and public domain. As a starting point toward mutual understanding and a common basis for communication between Western-style industries and indigenous communities, Indigenous Heritage and Intellectual Property is of immeasurable value. It offers not only an in-depth evaluation of the current legal situation under national, regional and international law including analyses of the Convention on Biological Diversity and other international instruments, as well as initiatives of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), and other international bodies but also probes numerous further possibilities. While no one concerned with indigenous culture or environmental issues can afford to ignore it, this book is also of special significance to practitioners and policymakers in intellectual property law in relation to indigenous heritage. This book, here in its second edition, presents the most recent state of knowledge in the field.

Bild-Lilli

The German Comic Character That Inspired Teenage Fashion Dolls

By: Silke Knaak

Barbie doll and fashion doll collectors everywhere will be thrilled with our exciting new title devoted to Bild-Lilli, the comic character that inspired teenage fashion dolls. Created in 1952 by Bild Zeitung newspaper cartoonist Reinhard Beuthin in Hamburg, Germany, the seductive, fashionable Lilli was not originally designed for children. However, her quick popularity prompted the production of the Lilli doll, which eventually led to the creation of the American Barbie doll by designer Ruth Handler. Collector Books is pleased to present our first book devoted to Bild-Lilli, complete with over 650 detailed color and b/w photos. There are close-ups of the many different faces of these unique hand-painted dolls, now worth hundreds and even thousands of dollars in the collector's market. Hailed by many as 'the doll that started it all,' Bild-Lilli dolls are shown loose as well as in the plastic cylinders in which the dolls originally came, with miniature versions of the newspaper for which Lilli was named. Lilli's faces and hairstyles, accessories from other manufacturers, and a complete look at the 1950s decade, particularly in Germany, are included in this comprehensive collectors value guide. REVIEW: This book chronicles Barbie throughout her first 30 years of production, and provides an entertaining look at the way she changed over that period of time.
