Intellectual Property, Proprietarization, Proprietary ParadigmsAbstract
The article critically analyzes the conceptual and political tensions of intellectual property (IP) in the face of technological transformations. It argues that IP is an ambiguous legal-political construct that transcends the logic of private property when applied to intangible goods. Three axes are examined: the consideration of IP as a proprietary category, the inadequacy of classical frameworks regarding reproducible digital goods, and the limits of appropriability in contexts of free circulation. It concludes that IP reflects a crisis of the liberal proprietary canon and opens the way to collaborative models of knowledge production and exchange.
