The CEIPI is pleased to announce the publication of the volume 5 in its sub-collection dedicated to Conference Proceedings:
Les incertitudes de la propriété intellectuelle. Quels risques ? Quelles opportunités ?
I Deeply marked by a phenomenon of amplification and even expansion, intellectual property law is the seat of many uncertainties, generating collective risks. Does it act as a brake on innovation, or rather a driving force behind its sharing? Is it a barrier to freedom or, on the contrary, a guarantor of creative freedom?
Whatever our vision of this fast-growing special right, we cannot ignore its grey areas. Ownership is uncertain, the scope of protection unclear, the objects of protection new and often diffuse...
These questions were the subject of the 6th annual colloquium of young academics specialising in intellectual property, organised by the European Research Centre for Risk, Collective Accident and Disaster Law in cooperation with the Centre for International Intellectual Property Studies at the University of Haute-Alsace in Mulhouse on 2 February 2023.
This book is a follow-up to that event.
Readers will first find the results of discussions between academics and practitioners who have tackled the subject of the uncertainties of intellectual property from different disciplinary approaches: the uncertainties surrounding the contours of the public domain, copyright contracts, the thresholds of protection for short excerpts of texts, the vagueness reigning in the field of photographers' copyright, trade mark law or the vagueness intrinsically linked to plural creation.
This analysis will be followed by a more cross-cutting discussion, looking in particular at the risks posed by new protected objects and even by new intellectual property 'ecosystems'.
