understand the concept of traditional knowledge and the urgency of establishing sui generis laws
related to the protection of traditional knowledge. The method of this research uses normative
juridical methods. The researc h results concluded that traditional knowledge has an open nature

necessary to establish a sui generis law related to the protection of traditional knowledge to provide
justice and protection from biopiracy and misappropriation activities.
