DESCRIPTION:Patrimony evokes at once a general sense of\ntransmission and t
 he idea of an assemblage\, ever since the origins\nof the term in Latin\, 
 where patrimonium denoted the\n'property of the family\, inherited from th
 e father'.\n\nThe Civil Law first shared this idea of an assemblage. There
  the\nconcept of the patrimony takes the shape of a universality\,\ncompos
 ed of items of property as well as of obligations\, and is\ngenerally tied
  to a person.  This idea is also embodied\nthrough collective patrimonies 
 -already know to the Romans under\nthe metaphorical expression patrimonium
  populi\, which\nmeant public treasure- composed of property\, of informat
 ion\, of\nfeatures that are judged essential for society\, the human race 
 or\nits environment.\n\nWhether the patrimony is personal or collective\, 
 it also conveys a\nsense of transmission. Among other things\, it brings t
 o mind the\npatrimony of the deceased and his succession\, the circulation
  in\nthe market of rights we dub 'patrimonial' or\, just as well\, the\nin
 heritance constituted by cultural\, genetic\, and biological\npatrimonies.
 \n\nIf the patrimony is\, on balance\, an assemblage of transmissible\nthi
 ngs\, its content nevertheless remains unclear and the categories\nwhich a
 rise from it remain porous.\n\nFor example\, what are we to make of the ec
 onomic facets of\nextrapatrimonial rights? What are the rights in one's im
 age\, if not\na monopoly similar to intellectual assets? Thus\, what could
  they be\nif not 'intellectual property'? Moreover\, shouldn't we see all
 \nprivileges which bear an economic cast as patrimonial rights?\nAnd what 
 of intellectual property rights with respect to\ntraditional know-how? Are
  marketing and development appropriate\nlegal mechanisms to address the su
 bject-matter of the patrimony\nconstituted by cultural heritage or\, more 
 generally\, to address the\nfield of creation?\n\nFrom private law to inte
 llectual property law\, the concept of the\npatrimony leads to the use of 
 legal categories whose bright-lines\nseem ever more clouded and grey\, if 
 not to say ever more mythical.\nBesides\, will metaphors serve as pedagogi
 cal devices\, thereby\nallowing us to better grasp the nature of these pat
 rimonial\nfissures?\nThose interested in attending this second seminar wil
 l be able\nafter November 5th\, to consult the texts and images prepared b
 y our\npanellists and\, if they wish\, publish their own comments (with th
 e\nimages of their choice) on the M&M website.\nPanellists:\nLionel Smith\
