Creative IP Lab

The development of digital technologies is resulting in a reevaluation of the private use of intellectual property in favor of new economic and knowledge sharing models. In some fields, exclusive rights on intellectual creations are giving way to royalty-free intangible assets.

Work that is under open source or creative commons licenses can not only be improved by everyone, but can also be freely copied, shared and used. The collective management of copyrights pursues the same goals of enriching the common cultural and informational patrimony by favorizing the widespread circulation and distribution of protected goods, whilst ensuring a fair remuneration for creators.

With the rise of artificial intelligence (AI) and algorithms (machine learning), humans are no longer the sole creators of new ideas. The framework for intellectual property must be redesigned in light of new creations being produced by robots and by artificial intelligence. The most efficient way to protect these creations (works, inventions, designs, etc.) must be determined, whilst taking into consideration the general interests of our society.
