This book critically analyses the relationships between intangible cultural heritage (ICH), sustainable development and intellectual property rights (IPRs). The author argues that although the use of IPRs to safeguard ICH presents challenges and has impeded sustainable development in some cases, the adoption of these rights on ICH also presents opportunities and, fundamentally, is not contrary to the spirit of the UNESCO Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage (UNESCO 2003 Convention). The adoption of IPRs on ICH can form an important part of the development of sustainable safeguarding plans capable of benefitting the communities, groups and individuals (CGIs) that create, maintain and transmit such heritage. The book provides a nuanced analysis of the relationship between intellectual property (IP) law and ICH as well as examining the role of IPRs in safeguarding ICH through the lens of sustainable development. It analyses the relationship between IP law and ICH from environmental, social and economic perspectives. These perspectives allow a thorough evaluation of both the positive effects and potential pitfalls of adopting IPRs to safeguard ICH. The book addresses deeper structural matters that refer back to the safeguarding of social and environmental processes underlying ICH.

1: IntroductionThe introduction provides a sharp, concise introduction to the general aims andargument of the book, in addition to setting out the structure through which thebook will engage with these aims.2: Intangible Cultural HeritageChapter 2 focuses on the first major part of this book, namely ICH. It lays thegroundwork for some of the broader theoretical themes that run through the book,namely: defining the nature of ICH, principally through the domains of ICH setout in the UNESCO 2003 Convention; the notion of safeguarding ICH; the role ofcommunities, groups and individuals within the framework of the 2003 Conventionand finally the instruments, objects, artefacts and cultural spaces associated withICH.2.1 The Definition and Practice of Intangible Cultural Heritage2.2 Safeguarding2.3 The Subjective Component of Intangible Cultural Heritage: Communities,Groups and Individuals2.4 The Objective and Spatial Components of Intangible Cultural Heritage:Instruments, Objects, Artefacts and Cultural Spaces3: Sustainable Development and Intangible Cultural HeritageChapter 3 focuses on the second major part of this book, namely sustainabledevelopment. Specifically, sustainable development can be of an economic, socialand environmental character, inclusive of human rights, facilitative of mutualrespect among communities and intended to better safeguard ICH. The Chapterexamines how culture and ICH in particular are linked to sustainable developmentas illustrated in the 2003 UNESCO Convention, its Operational Directives and itsOverall Results Framework. The Chapter analyses the role of ICH as a strategicresource to enable inclusive sustainable development and therefore participationand inclusive governance. The chapter also introduces ICH as a relevant tool toenable environmentally sustainable development, as well as inclusive economicdevelopment. In addressing inclusive economic development, chapter 3 laysthe foundation for subsequent chapters to explore the relationship between ICHand IPRs, intended as a mechanism to foster valorization and promotion of ICH,towards its viability and vitality for the benefit of the communities concerned. Peaceand security, as a requirement that is essential for sustainable development, anda key component of UNESCO's mission, is also addressed in the chapter. Finally,chapter 3 concludes with analysis of the Covid-19 pandemic as a case study on therelationship between ICH and sustainable development, exhibiting the importanceof community-based resilience, with indigenous and local communities at theforefront of this process.3.1 The Definition and Practice of Sustainable Development in the context ofIntangible Cultural Heritage3.2 Inclusive Social Development: Participation and Inclusive Governance3.3 Environmental sustainability3.4 Inclusive Economic Development and Commercialisation3.5 Peace and Security3.6 Covid-19: A case study4: Intellectual Property Rights and Intangible Cultural HeritageChapter 4 focuses on the third major part of this book, namely IPRs. It providesanalysis of different IPRs, including sui generis IPRs, and the strengths andweaknesses of such rights as mechanisms capable of safeguarding ICH. Thechapter argues that while IPRs can be insufficient to protect ICH, and can evenreinforce misappropriation of such heritage, there are circumstances in whichIPRs are valuable not only in their capacity to empower indigenous and localcommunities themselves, but also in their capacity to work alongside othersafeguarding mechanisms that can offer different protections.4.1 Intangible Cultural Heritage, Intellectual Property Rights and TerritorialEnforcement4.2 Copyright and Neighbouring Rights4.3 Patents, Industrial Designs4.4 Know-how, Trade Secrets, Databases and Contracts4.5 Individual, Collective, Certification Trade Marks4.6 Geographical Indications, Protected Designation of Origin, TraditionalSpeciality Guaranteed4.7 The Limitations of Intellectual Property Rights as Safeguarding Mechanisms forIntangible Cultural Heritage4.8 Sui Generis Intellectual Property Rights and the Relationship between Propertyand Heritage4.9 Intellectual Property Rights May Be Capable of Safeguarding IntangibleCultural Heritage5: Intellectual property rights on UNESCO intangible cultural heritageChapter 5 analyses the relationship between ICH and IP in practice.
