This seminar will present for discussion the results of three years of
surveys and research carried out in the framework of the PROPICE project
(Intellectual Property, Commons and Exclusivity), sponsored by the French
National Research Agency.

The research contributes to the fundamental observation that the rise and
reinforcement of intellectual property rights over the last thirty years,
marked by exclusivism, has generated strong tensions that often conflict
with the needs of the numerous communities or innovators and creators.

Consequently, the formation of commons in the domain of scientific,
technical or artistic creation can be seen as a series of attempts to build
legal and organisational tools to surmount the obstacles and limits imposed
by the strengthening of diverse intellectual property rights.

By combining historical and empirical studies in multiple fields (ICT,
biotech, pharmaceuticals, cultural goods, etc.) with economic and legal
approaches, the research carried out in PROPICE is intended to help portray
the promises and difficulties inherent in the construction of commons as
alternatives to the implementation of exclusive IPR



The PROPICE project, under the scientific direction of Benjamin Coriat,
brings together three partners:

-                      The CEPN (UMR CNRS 7234) from the University of
Paris 13, (Sorbonne, Paris Cité); PROPICE team directed by B. Coriat

-                      The CRDST (Centre de Recherche sur le Droit des
Sciences et des Techniques) from the University of Paris 1; PROPICE team
directed by C. Noiville

-                      The SESSTIM (UMR INSERM/IRD/University of
Aix-Marseille); PROPICE team directed by F. Orsi
