危地马拉土著织工争取集体知识产权的法律认可
By Mayora IP
为了保护土著文化遗产，危地马拉全国织工运动已经向国会妇女委员会提交了一份立法提案。该提案旨在为土著社区，尤其是源自玛雅的传统纺织品和服饰建立知识产权保护。该提案将这些纺织传统定义为不仅仅是工艺品或手工艺品，更是集体知识、文化记忆和智力创造的鲜活表达。
编织在胡皮勒（huipiles）、科尔特斯（cortes）和其他服装上的图案既非装饰性，也非随意性。每个图案都蕴含着层层含义——地域归属、祖先血统、精神象征——并通过妇女口头和实践上代代相传才得以创作。这些纺织品远非文物，它们仍然是许多原住民社群身份认同和日常生活的核心。它们的生产过程体现了一种复杂的文化原创形式，超越了西方对个人创造力的理解。
然而，在现有的法律框架下，这一知识体系依然脆弱不堪。由于缺乏认可，未经授权盗用玛雅纺织品设计的情况愈演愈烈。全球时尚品牌、旅游业公司以及当地企业都为了商业利益而复制这些图案，而且通常不向其原创社群授予荣誉或补偿。
