This Act applies to all traditional knowledge, whether it existed before the commencement of this Act or was created, developed, inspired, or adapted later. This Act sets forth provisions on rights and restrictions applying to registered traditional knowledge; application procedures and acceptance and rejection of applications; opposition to applications published by the Secretary after its acceptance; registration of traditional knowledge; administrative and civil proceedings; penalties for offences in relation to sacred knowledge and sacred-secret knowledge; court orders for delivery up, forfeiture, or disposal in civil actions; and administrative and miscellaneous provisions.
