      abstract = {The global economy has gone through a great transformation  in recent years .Worldwide integration of economy has  provided new opportunities with many fresh challenges. In  the post TRIPs and WTO era, various cases of patents and  other IPR related issues show the new complexities for the  countryside population which has sustained the cumulative  body of knowledge, know-how, practices and representations  known as TK for generations. Protecting the locality of  products is imperative for any developing country. The  fundamental concern of this paper is to underscore the  incompatibilities between TK and IPRs in general (within  some initiatives taken by India and Hungary) which has  begun to surface with the rapid globalization and  acceptance of concepts and standards for intellectual  property. Paper traces steps taken for the protection of TK  and argues for the wider protection of TK at WTO level.},
