JanBest,Curious to hear your thoughts on that.For the second one, do you think it would be wise to commission more work on 1) the economic impact of the public domain or rather 2) its cultural implications? I was thinking that it would be interesting to get a study about the use of public domain works by contemporary artists.Hi DimiThanks for reaching out to the list about this. I'm looking forward to seeing the first study.On Thu, Apr 6, 2017 at 10:19 AM, John Hendrik Weitzmann <john.weitzmann@wikimedia.de> wrote:Suggestion:"Feasibility and Economic Implications of re-modelling the Sui-Generis Database Right into a Register Right"2017-04-04 15:25 GMT+02:00 Dimitar Parvanov Dimitrov <dimitar.parvanov.dimitrov@gmail.com >:______________________________Hello, everybody!Today civil society organisations had a meeting with the EU IPO's Observatory [1]. One of the main objectives of the Observatory is to produce academic studies in the field of IPR that help policy makers in Brussels make evidence based decisions.Upon joining the Observatory Wikimedia requested a study on the "Contribution of the public domain and open licensing to the European economy". As the scope of this seemed extremely broad, the Observatory decided to work on a study called "Public Domain in the Film Industry" analysing how much of the film industry is based on PD content. This study has now been peer reviewed and should be available before 5 May.We have successfully convinced the Observatory to include a second study on the public domain & open licenses in the 2017 work programme. The challenge now is to find a good aspect that could be researched. It needs to be specific and not overly broad. This is what I need your help with! If you can think of a good subject to share with the Observatory research team, please let me know. They are quite open to taking our ideas, comments and feedback into account.Thank you and cheers,Dimi_________________
