Le droit d'auteur et la recherche

Du nouveau de la British Library, un rapport concernant le droit d’auteur et la recherche : « Driving UK Research – Is copyright a help or a hindrance? » (PDF)

Released [on July 22nd] a new report from the research community, compiled by the British Library, looks at the UK’s existing intellectual property framework – reflecting the challenges researchers face on a daily basis and highlighting a consensus across all sectors on the need for reform to meet the demands of a modernising world.

Sourced directly from researchers this report presents a ‘grassroots view’ of the current copyright framework in the UK. Looking at the barriers they encounter on a daily basis, the contributors’ feedback not only highlights the obstructions to creativity but also puts forward proposals for reforming UK intellectual property legislation to reflect the needs of today’s researcher.

Dame Lynne Brindley, Chief Executive of the British Library:
