<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="FR">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.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="FR">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.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="FR">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.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="FR">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</span></p>
