Plagiarism and the patenting of designs or/and symbols of Mexican crafts is taking place in our country. Foreigners want to abuse and make money regardless of indigenous peoples rights. French Isabel Marant who plagiarized designs embroidery, and patented it, wants indigenous municipality of Tlahuitoltepec Oaxaca to pay royalties and wants to prohibit them from making and selling their products. These had been elaborated for centuries. Stop the theft of Mexican handcrafts and national symbols.
