- Abstract
The article discusses the role that traditional trademark law can play in the protection of indigenous cultures citing reference to a lawsuit filed by the food products provider Kellogg Co. against a Mayan non-profit organization for using a toucan as part of their logo, resembling Kellogg's famous Toucan Sam. Also discussed are the efforts made by individual states and the international community to protect indigenous populations for exploitation through intellectual property regimes.
