The problem with this one is just the opposite. In nearly all fields it is
far too detailed. So be happy, the part about IP is undefined and the
"might" works both ways.
It will exclusively depend on the political majorities for each law that
has an
impact on IP. Citizens, your vote matters !

Ah, thanks for the clarification. In that case it
will be necessary
to check the "Intellectual Property" parts of that constitution.
Ok, found (Article II-77 2):
"La propriété intellectuelle est protégée"
This is extremely unclear, as "IP" is something undefined. It
regroups notions as copyright, trademarks, patents etc., so it
might include software patents - and actually force them on us.
Hard to agree with such a clause.
