India, being a land endowed with rich indigenous cultural heritage and traditional knowledge, has developed well-defined legal frameworks for safeguarding the interests of the right-holders in these domains. These frameworks are essential for incentivising innovation, protecting local interests, preventing misuse, and ensuring fair economic benefits across concerned sectors.
