We are not running Bush Products and the Law, but we are running a Law Way® Session: From Bush to Business - Tips for Indigenous Producers of Bush Products - on 29 July 2024
From finger limes to lemon myrtle tea, wattle seed cake to mamarra soap, bush products are increasingly in demand across Australia and indeed internationally. This growth brings opportunities for Indigenous Peoples to benefit socially, economically and environmentally from their traditional practices. However, it also opens doors to exploitation and misappropriation. How can Indigenous producers of bush products protect their Intellectual Property, Indigenous Cultural and Intellectual Property, and Cultural Knowledge? Join Dr Terri Janke and Senior Associate Anika Valenti in a discussion on these important questions and more in our next Law Way® Session.
