Overview - traditional cultural expression Registration

Traditional Cultural Expressions (TCEs) - also known as expressions of folklore - include traditional music, dance, art, designs, symbols, ceremonies, and architectural forms passed down within communities. Traditional Knowledge (TK) refers to knowledge, know-how, and practices developed by indigenous and local communities over generations. In India, while there is no single comprehensive TCE/TK protection law, multiple frameworks apply - the Biological Diversity Act, the Geographical Indications Act, the Copyright Act's folklore provisions, and defensive protection through the Traditional Knowledge Digital Library (TKDL). Lawxygen advises communities, governments, and companies on TCE/TK protection and commercialisation.
