Ulwazi Lwendabuko Amalungelo
Okungokwengqondo, Nokuba Nelungelo Lokwenza
Izidalwaezinye zibe ngezomuntu
ULWAZI LWENDABUKO
Ulwazi Lwendabuko (ngokwemvelo) luneqhaza elikhulu kwezomnotho,
kwezomphakathi, kwezamasiko nasentuthukweni, hhayi kwezomphakathi wesimanje
kuphela.
Esikhathini esizayo kusazoqhubeka kube njalo, ikakhulukazi uma sicabanga ngeqhaza
elibanjwa yisayensi (ezocwaningo) ngokwemisebenzi, izindlela zemikhiqizo
enomthelela ekudaleni isimo esibucayi semvelo namuhla.
Ulwazi Lwendabuko luvamise ukuba yimpahla yomphakathi, njengolwazi lwezitshalo
ezisetshenziswa ekwelapheni.
AMALUNGELO NGOKUNGOKWOMQONDO (IPR)
Loku kuhlanganisa amalungelo okugodla ulwazi, amalungelo okusebenzisa
okungumkhiqizo wenqondo yomunye umuntu, njengezincwadi, noma umshini
wokwakha izitini. Kodwake, ososayensi (ongqondongqondo) abasebenza ngezempilo
nabakhiqiza ngemvelo sebelisebenzisa kakhulu lelilungelo i-IPR , ukwenza izidalwa
ezinempilo zibe yimpahla yabo, njengesitshalo esibizwa nge Hoodia esingesase-Mzansi
Afrika, nazo izimbewu ezishintshwe izimpathafuzo.

Izimbewu ezishitshwe izimpathafuzo ziyimpahla yenkampani ezakhile, ngokomthetho wamalungelo
okugodla ulwazi.Uma usebenzisa lezizimbewu, usayina isibophezelo nenkampani leyo ukuthi
awuzukuzigcina izimbewu zesivuno sakho ukuze ubuye utshale ngokuzayo, noma uthekelise ngazo kwabanye abantu–udingeka futhi ukuthi minyaka yonke ukhokhele leyonkampani inani elithize ngokusebenzisa izimbewu eseziyimpahla yayo. U-Monsanto useke wamangalela abalimi eMelika naseCanada, izitshalo zabo ezonakaliswa yizimbewu ezishintshwe izimpathafuzo ezaziqathaka ezinqoleni ezidlulayo, ziwela emasimini abo; ngalokho babekwa icala lokwephula umthetho wamalungelo okugodla

Ngokwesivumelwano SeNhlangano YoHwebo KaZwelonke (WTO – World Trade
Organization), ikakhulu isivumelwano sokuhweba esithintene namalungelo okwezobuhlakani – phecelezi i-TRIPS, amalungelo okuphathelene nokomqondo avikelwe kanzima kakhulu. Abaningi abantu bacabanga ukuthi i-TRIPS iyashayisana nezinye izivumelwano zomhlaba wonke, kanye naleso esibhekelene neMvelo Enhlobonhlobo (CBD) eyona UMzansi Afrika ungomunye wamazwe asayina esivumelwaneni sokubhekela ukuphepha kwemvelo, futhi ebhekele nokuthi ufuzo ezidalweni nolwazi lwemvelo lunokunikezelwana (ukuthekelisana ) lusetshenziswe.

Ukuqola noma ukuphanga imvelo kungukusebenzisela imvelo ngezihloso sokuhweba.
Izinkampani zizinika amalungelo okugodla izitho ezithile ezitholakala esitshalweni,
zisebenzise futhi ulwazi lwendabuko-lwemvelo ngaphandle kwemvume (PIC) futhi
abantu abavamise ukuthekelisana ngalolululwazi bashiyeka ngaphandle emalungelweni
okuhlomula, kugcina kungabacwaningi kuphela abathola inzuzo ngokudayisa,
nemikhiqizo ngaleyo mphahla. Uma kwenzeka ngaleyondlela , kuthiwa ukuphanga
nokuqola.
OKUMELE KWAZEKE NGEMIPHUMELA YE (IPR)

• Ukuphela kokwabelana nokuthekelisana ngokukhululeka ngolwazi nezinto
IMIBUZO EQAVILE
Ukungagodlelani amalungelo empilo?
