Indigenous Knowledge Panel to inform improvements to the IP system

We’re proud to be working with First Nations experts following their appointment to the newly formed Indigenous Knowledge Panel (IK Panel) Pilot.

The IK Panel will play a crucial role in identifying and informing ways we can improve processes, policy and legislative matters related to Indigenous Knowledge in the context of the intellectual property (IP) system. This will help Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples to better protect and promote their knowledge.

We are excited to introduce the members.

These individuals bring a wealth of experience and expertise, and their contributions will be invaluable in shaping the future of the IP system.

The establishment of the IK Panel is a significant milestone for our agency. We are committed to transparency, accountability, and ongoing engagement with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.

We look forward to the positive impact the IK Panel will have and invite all stakeholders to join us in this important journey.
