The ICH Convention mandates signatories to use or mobilise various measures to safeguard intangible cultural heritage. Even though the Convention does not succinctly mention the elaborate legal measures for safeguarding intangible cultural heritage, the intellectual property rights to protect intangible cultural heritage and its holders are implied throughout provisions of the Convention.

PROTECTING CULTURAL INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS: THE OMA IN LAO PDR
On 2 April 2019, the Traditional Arts and Ethnology Centre (TAEC) received text messages from a former employee who was traveling in Croatia. She had glanced into a Max Mara boutique in Zagreb and noticed patterns on clothing that looked exactly like those of the Oma ethnic group. TAEC staff recognized these designs immediately, as the organization has been working with Nanam Village, the largest Oma community in Laos, since 2011. TAEC has trained and worked with Oma women to create and sell products based on their craft skills, and conducted research on traditional Oma music, which is showcased in TAEC’s special exhibition, “Voices of the Wind: Traditional Instruments in Laos.”
