Introduction

Problems addressed

• • The limits of the intellectual property system, both in the international and national contexts, in order to guard traditional knowledge and the appropriation of biologic and genetic resources through a previous informed consent by the communities and peoples involved, as well as the fair distribution o benefits once accessing the aforementioned resources;

• • The deficient development of the Mexican law system, and therefore, the lacking of public policies regarding acknowledgement and protection of indigenous rights.

Methodology

In the development of the jurisdictional-economical approach the following methods will be applied: analytical, synthetic, teleological, deontological, axiological, inductive and deductive. There will be programmed meetings with the action-research group that asks for our support to know their project needs and to determine how we can contribute. The review of the current Mexican jurisdictional framework is carried out by the group in regular sessions to discuss the devices, national and international, and their possible influence on the protection of traditional knowledge, access to biologic and genetic resources and the fair distribution of benefits.
