The paper deals with the category of intangible cultural heritage in the UNESCO documents and its ethnological interpretation. The introduction of the term has opened a new area of research, education, access to information and intellectual property rights of traditional culture bearers. Theoretical starting point for research and preservation remains a challenge for ethnology. Ethnological research based on axiological perspective of culture does not lead to relevant understanding of intangible heritage. It is emic approach that should be applied in the study and interpretation of intangible heritage. The paper opens also the question of protection of intangible heritage, particularly traditional folk culture, in the Slovak legislation (Copyright Act). The present act does not protect property rights of bearers of tradition, but rights of authors and artists who use traditional folk culture as a source of inspiration in their creative work.
