<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div>Hello, everybody!<br><br></div>As reported previously [1], the OHIM (IP Observatory)[2] has picked up our request to commission a study on the benefits of public domain and open licenses. To get the process going we need to present a one-pager with our main ideas. This document has been worked out together with EDRi [3] and BEUC [4], as they will also request the same study in order to have more leverage. We have kept this intentionally broad at some points, as the OHIM needs to make a first step in specifying the exact form and methodology. <br>
<br>I am sharing this with you now and asking for feedback and comments until the middle of next week. Please bear in mind, that this is really just a first pitch and the form of the study will be agreed upon in the months to come.<br>
<br></div>Thank you!<br></div>Dimi<br><br>[1]<a href="http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikimedia-l/2013-December/129015.html">http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikimedia-l/2013-December/129015.html</a><br>[2]<a href="https://oami.europa.eu/ohimportal/en/web/observatory/home">https://oami.europa.eu/ohimportal/en/web/observatory/home</a><br>
