摘要：The issues involved in securing a legal status
for indigenous knowledge and compensating
.tribal. people for that knowledge are highly
complex (Laird 1993; Greaves 1994). There is no
consensus among anthropologists and others who
work with indigenous people on how this can be
achieved. Some argue that any compensation or
.benefit-sharing. flowing from the legal recognition
of intellectual property rights (IPR) would actually
be a new.legal.form of colonization or .biopiracy.,
or that it is detrimental to tribal people in other
ways.1 Others hold that, whatever its limitations,
IPR is an important legal instrument by which
indigenous people can be protected from
exploitation (for overviews, see Greaves 1994; Brush
and Stabinsky 1996; FSI & Kothari 1997; IUCN 1997).
