Abstract

This research has attempted to examine the role of intellectual property law on the protection of
indigenous knowledge in Ilishan-Remo land. The objective of this study is to investigate the
state of indigenous knowledge in Ilishan Remo, Ogun State and whether it has any protective
measure in place for the protection of indigenous knowledge from misappropriation and
illegitimate acquisition.
The use of structured interview guide comprising open ended questions was used to gather data
from the field. Findings from this study show that Ilishan Remo has peculiar indigenous
knowledge such as the use of herbs for treatment of diseases, farming, trading in cola nuts,
weaving of baskets, calabash making, plaiting of hair, wood carving, goldsmithing, and pottery
which the community appreciates as it provides them with security, identity and livelihood.. It
also shows that Indigenous Knowledge in Ilishan Remo at various points in times has been
misappropriated and that Ilishan community protects its IK by restricting non indigenes from
viewing and participating in their indigenous practices. Findings also show that local laws used
in deterring third parties from having knowledge of the community’s culture is not supported by
the government’s law.
