Dear all,

Several years ago we asked the EU IPO to not only commission studies on the value of intellectual property but to also look into the value of the public domain and freely licensed works.

After some delibareations they decided to focus on the film industry, as the IMDB provided a rather complete set of data to work with.

This is the result: https://euipo.europa.eu/ohimportal/en/web/observatory/news/-/action/view/363...

While not a great study or one that comes as a bombastic headline, we are already discussing with the EU IPO what a second study on the public domain might look like.

Cheers,

Dimi
