The first step is for traditional knowledge and folklore to enrich intellectual property instead of the other way around.

Many copyrighted works can be traced to traditional or folkloric roots. For example, Ella Fitzgerald's popular 1938 recording of "A Tisket, A Tasket" is a contemporary arrangement and performance of a 19th century nursery rhyme.

Patents, especially for mechanical devices, often derive from the traditional methods of crafting. Some drug patents began with research on and improvements to traditional medicine.

In exchange for all of this raw material, creators and inventors agree that eventually, their works will pass into the public domain, to become raw material for the next generation. Granted, patent law represents that ideal far better than copyright does, but the notion is still there.
