It discusses the problems faced when working within the constraints of current copyright and database legislation, where property claims can place obstacles in the way of research, in other words, the public domain. The article then looks at perceptions of the public interest and asks whether copyright and the database right reflect understandings of how this concept should operate. Thirdly, it considers the relevance of public funding for scientific research in the context of both the public domain and of the public interest. Finally, some recent initiatives seeking to change the contours of the legal framework are be examined. 2005-01-01T00:00:00Z The priorities, the values, the public http://hdl.handle.net/1842/2292 Title: The priorities, the values, the public Authors: Waelde, Charlotte Abstract: The chapter brings together arguments about intellectual property rights, and the public domain.
