The legal systems in China and India for the preservation of traditional knowledge are compared i. It highlights the advantages, disadvantages, and upcoming difficulties of statute provisions, institutional procedures, and international commitments. According to the study, China takes a more integrated approach based on intellectual property and regulations, whereas India uses databases and biodiversity laws to adopt a defensive preservation paradigm.
