Intellectual property (IP) is an original design or idea that comes from the mind and is owned by a person or their employer if it was conceived in the course of their employment. Establishing who has IP ownership rights is well-covered by existing legislation in most countries however the law typically does not address what happens if this ownership might be collective, as it might be for the unique designs and traditions of indigenous peoples.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

This collection of unique arts and traditions that are conceived by a cultural group is known as cultural intellectual property (cultural IP) and it can include designs, art, music, skills, dress and innovations.\u00a0 Due to the lack of adequate legal protections these groups also have little control over how or where these important expressions of their identity are used, and often do not receive any credit or financial gain, even when others are commercially benefiting from their use in their own businesses. For many indigenous people their identity is closely linked to these traditions and this exploitation can be deeply distressing.<\/span><\/p>\n

There are different organisations working worldwide to ensure that the IP of indigenous people and local communities are protected formally. For example, the Parliament of Australia has published indigenous cultural and intellectual property rights, including the right of indigenous people to:<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Travelife certified hotels are encouraged to collaborate with indigenous people and local communities to ensure their culture and rights are respected. When aspects of local culture are featured in hotel operations (e.g. music, art, food) then Travelife requires that hotels ensure this is done respectfully and in consultation with any local cultural representatives. They must also ensure that any artists are properly credited.<\/span><\/p>\n

What can your business do?<\/span><\/p>\n

Perhaps the most important thing to remember is that the cultural group that owns the intellectual property should decide for themselves if and how they would like it represented, along with how they want to benefit from it. That means that the process starts with consultation directly with the group themselves. You should find out how to communicate with right representatives, then begin an open and respectful dialogue.<\/span><\/p>\n

You will also need to ensure that your business is aware of what might be covered by cultural IP. This includes:<\/span><\/p>\n
