What good are design rights (EU directive and regulation) concepts to develop a shared ODD? #13

EU legislation offers protection to design rights. How good these concepts could be to develop an ODD? How much should they be taken into account for the ODD and what consequences on the choice/drafting of licenses?

I think that probably it would be good to see how the different forms of design are addressed in legislation, but these are all information that are more useful for a project regarding one or more Open Design licenses, not necessarily about an Open Design Definition (which should precede any discussion about licenses: if we don't know what we are talking about, how can we license it?). However, it would be very good to know a little bit more about this, if we put a little of this into the Open Design Definition then it will be probably easier to develop further work on the licenses. @123456tom can you look a bit at the way design projects (product, graphic, interior, service design) are addressed in legislation? Even if just a quick look, it would help us a lot! Thanks! :)

I agree that a definition should be the first preliminary step and other decisions such as licenses will follow. A first problem with what @openp2pdesign suggests is connected with my point that legislation talks about design rights, while design (as intended by designers) sometimes represents something extremely different which also varies a lot from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. Anyway, I'll be working on it and share on this issue my impressions.
