• Chapter 4 focuses on the third major subject of this book: Intellectual Property Rights (IPRs). It provides analysis of different IPRs, including sui generis IPRs, and the strengths and weaknesses of such rights as mechanisms capable of safeguarding Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH). The chapter argues that while IPRs can be insufficient to protect ICH, and can even reinforce misappropriation of such heritage, there are circumstances in which IPRs are valuable not only in their capacity to empower indigenous and local communities themselves, but also in their capacity to work alongside other safeguarding mechanisms that can offer different protections.
