What words
mean
Background intellectual property
This is the knowledge people bring with them into a project, the stories
and culture that you have before the project starts. This is the knowledge
that you own, rather than what you learnt through the project.
Commercialisation
If research is commercialised then it becomes a money-making business.
If money is going to be made out of research then a legal agreement has
to be made between the Aboriginal people whose knowledge contributes
to the research and Ninti One. This agreement will talk about how any
money might be divided up and how people might benefit.
