3.1.8. General Reforms to IPs and their Tax Regime

DiEM25 wants to limit the enforcement of IP rights so that it benefits the actual inventor/creator, not their assignees/licencees when they do not contribute economic value. This will increase the inventor/creator's recognition, and ensure that they actually benefit from the IP monopoly that government creates for them.

Finally, DiEM25 wants to abolish any tax incentives to create, transfer or collect IP rights, and create a special tax on the rental income of existing IP rights as a contributory funding for the Universal Basic Dividend as proposed in the European New Deal.
