Talk:Traditional Knowledge Digital Library

Untitled

Does the Traditional Knowledge Digital Library exist? All the links on its wiki-page are dead. I've tried to google it, but all I get are random blogs and articles that purport to link to this data base, but those links just go to same place the wiki links go--to a dead page. Perhaps it was a failed idea and, if so, this should be reflected in its wiki page. 128.252.78.83 (talk) 01:57, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

It exists, but you don't have access to it. It's only for patent examiners. It records public knowledge that is not easily accessible. There is no plan (so far as I know) to make this knowledge more easily accessible to the general public, because there are claims to ownership of it (by the Indian government, and possibly others). Making the information more easily accessible would conflict with the aim of profiting from the information by those who claim rights in it. Twr57 (talk) 21:22, 3 July 2011 (UTC)

Public domain

Please help me finding if it's really in public domain. It don't seem so --Valerio Bozzolan (talk) 22:16, 15 December 2016 (UTC)
