Intellectual Property Rights refer to those legal rights aiming to protect the creations of the intellect “Copyright is one of the many IPRs and is a legal term used to describe the rights that creators have over literary and artistic works” (WIPO)
- 5. www.OpenMedproject.eu Why the Copyright? Copyright protection aim at giving the creator the rights to take advantage of its creation either by economic or reputational means Ø It differs among countries. There is not a unique legislation even though the Berne Convention established some international standard: E.g. the concept that a copyright exists the moment a work is "fixed", rather than requiring registration. It also enforces a requirement that countries recognize copyrights held by the citizens of all other parties to the convention Ø It might not be exclusively owned by authors (e.g. Universities, publishers, educators) Ø Historically it has been justified as an incentive to stimulate innovation in a context of scarcity Ø It has a different duration based on legislations and sectors Ø Copyright law protects only the form of expression of ideas, not the idea per se Some key aspects of copyright protection
- 6. www.OpenMedproject.eu The Public Domain Intellectual Property Rights don’t last forever, indeed at some point they expire... So what happen to those creations and works that are no more covered and protected under IPRs? They enter the Public Domain “The term public domain refers to creative materials that are not protected by intellectual property laws such as copyright, trademark, or patent laws. The public owns these works, not an individual author or artist. Anyone can use a public domain work without obtaining permission, but no one can ever own it” (Stim 2010)

- 9. www.OpenMedproject.eu Crea<ve Commons Licenses Ø A set of Open Licences are the Crea:ve Commons Licences Ø CC is a project launched by Lawrence Lessig aiming at building a new and more flexible paradigm for copyright Ø CC permits to manage IPR not as a unique block but in a modular way The CC licenses are a composi:on of the following four condi:ons: • ARribu:on (BY) • Share-alike (SA) • Non-commercial (NC) • Non-deriva:ve (ND)
- 12. www.OpenMedproject.eu Open Science Open Science is a new paradigm based on the philosophical postulate of ‘openness’. This paradigm elevates ‘openness’ as the primary mean to foster long las<ng growth and innova<on for the whole society Why is ‘Open Science’ a priority? E.g. EU embraced Open Science new paradigm because its development has been reinforced by recent calls for the global governance of science from European Ins:tu:ons which considered the transi:on towards Open Science a fundamental step to foster knowledge circula:on as a driver for faster and wider innova:on

- 14. www.OpenMedproject.eu Open Science relies on two important pillars: Open Access and Open Data Open Access Open Access (OA) refers to online research outputs that are free of all restric<ons on access (e.g. access tolls) and free of many restric<ons on use (e.g. certain copyright and license restric:ons) (Suber, Peter. "Open Access Overview", 2011) The OA mandate is implemented in two steps, which may be not simultaneous: I. deposi:ng publica:ons in repositories: Open Aire, Zenodo, ROAR… II. providing Open Access to them: Green Open Access, Gold Open Access How to fullfill Open Access mandate?
