Abstract
This paper identifies briefly the special features of traditional knowledge, its relationship with current intellectual property protection, and then considers the particular initiatives being considered by Niue for the protection of its traditional knowledge for the generations to come. The Niue initiatives include use of the Model Law for the Protection of Traditional Knowledge and Expressions of Culture approved at the Pacific Island Forum Ministers Meeting in 2003.
