Some of the principal concerns about the protection of traditional knowledge echo two major moral rights: the right to attribution and the right to integrity, which is sometimes called the right to object to derogatory treatment. Although some aspects of claims to traditional knowledge resemble moral rights claims, the overlap is partial and complicated by jurisdictional variations in the scope of protection for both moral rights and traditional knowledge. This chapter elucidates the overlap of traditional knowledge and moral rights, demonstrates the partiality of that overlap and concludes that moral rights can be complementary to the protection of traditional knowledge but not the best means of achieving such protection.
