Traditional knowledge related to bio-resources can be exploited to develop modern applications and also be used to save time, effort and expenditure during their commercialisation.
The use of such bio-resources by multinational companies and other organisations without proper authorisation from the countries and people concerned without compensatory payment is known as biopiracy.
