TM = Traditional Medicine Plan Text: The member nations of the World Trade Organization ought to implement a Traditional Knowledge information disclosure requirement for all patent applications as per GebruPeople applying for a patent have to disclose the traditional knowledge/resources that they use in their invention. There are three different levels of information usage that would have different reductions of protection and/or penalties depending on whether the info was willingly disclosed or found afterwards by an investigation.
